Hey everyone, I've got an assignment at school which uses timing circuits and as a class we have done absolutely nothing on timing circuits and I have no idea how to make one, how they work or anything like that. Essentially, the assignment involves designing a mechanical timing device (a Rube Goldberg machine) and then creating an electrical timing circuit that will give off an output of some kind at the same time the Rube Goldberg machine finishes.
To summarize, I'm looking for an easy to construct timing circuit which can be adjusted easily and the theory of how it works.
I tried researching myself but didn't understand anything. I'm not too savvy with the circuitry lingo so please be easy on me.
Thanks.
