Hi Experts. First post - so hope I'm in the right place?
I'm looking for a circuit that from research I think is a multivibrator circuit. I tried to build a circuit with a 555 timer but think I blew it up as nothing happened.
I want to be able power two small electro-magnets alternately so that a small metal shaft inside both of the magnets can be pulled from one to the other as power to each electro-magnet is connected and then disconnected in turn. Hope this makes sense. I would also like to be able to control the speed with which the shaft moves from one to the other which I thought would be the switching speed and also the strength of the magnets, which I thought might be the power to the magnets.
Would this circuit be possible for a beginner? I made two electro-magnets and had the shaft moving from one to the other manually with on off switches but failed on automating it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks
Jack
