Please help.
My knowledge in electronics is not the best, for my A level engineering I am making an electronic can shaker using the motor from either an electronic drill or reciprocating saw. I need to be able to run this motor from a timer circuit where I can adjust the time its on for by using a variable resistor. The system needs to be able to plug into UK mains sockets and I am really stuck on how to design the circuit. Ideally I would like to use a 555 timer chip in my circuit and also incorporate a power on/off switch.
Any help would be much appreciated in helping me design this circuit.
Thank you very much and I will get back to all messages as soon as possible.
