Thanks mate. I guess it's going to take a lot longer than I originally thought.
Though the warning in the data sheet would probably prevent me from using such design in a formal product, being a hobbyist you are having greater freedom to muddle the line a bit. Using such device as a window traveling limit switch does fit the occasional overcurrent criteria.Its your call as to who you would believe, depending on what "occasional overcurrent" really means.
That's not what it meant. You can probably expect quite a lot more cycles from these fuses, over 10,000 cycles would not be unreasonable.Knowing that they are going to run close to 6000 cycles is awesome.
I guess my confusion is that the listed states and transitions both do the same thing: A2 is +12V, A1 is GND.I can try but it may be even more confusing
Outputs from actuator - A1 and A2
Initial state - (A1) nothing, (A2) nothing
Button pressed - Lock Button
When pressed - A1 becomes positive, A2 becomes negative. (momentary)
When pressed again - A1 becomes positive, A2 becomes negative. (momentary)
----------------
Button pressed - Unlock Button
When pressed - A2 becomes positive, A1 becomes negative. (momentary)
When pressed again - A2 becomes positive, A1 becomes negative. (momentary)
Hope that makes sense of it.
What is the difference between pressing the button once or twice?On lock A1 is 12+ and A2 is GND
On Unlock A2 is 12+ and A1 is GND
Sorry for any confusion
There are a couple of issues.Is that ready to rock and roll or are there other things I should be working out to?
Is this free hand or paint or photoshop.There are a couple of issues.
1. As the +12V is coming from the car battery, it would have a lot of nasty pulses riding on it when the engine is running. The voltage on the battery can also rise to 14.8V. This voltage is too high for comfort for LM555 or CD40106B. I would suggest using a common voltage regulator, like 7809 or 7808. The circuit design have no issues with 9V or 8V supply voltage and does not need any modification.
The TVS diode is there for protection and I don't have a specific part number for you to get hold of and it also depends on the component supplier near where you live. Other forum members can surely suggest a suitable one without problem.
2. The HIGH signal on the FlipFlop output is a voltage equals to supply voltage but with very little current drive capability and certainly cannot drive the window motor circuit. You need an interface between the signal and the final drive, most likely using relays. The interface is simple. However, you might have difficulty getting a 9V-coil relay but that can be solved by using a 5V relay with a series resistor in the coil to make it 9V. The easiest drive is to use N-CH Mosfet and they are cheap. Or you can use NPN darlington transistor instead.
3. Make sure you order CD4013B and CD40106B as the HC4013 or HCT4013 would not work at that voltage.
4. On ordering, make sure that you know exactly which IC/semiconductor package are you getting as part comes in many different packaging, with only a slight different in their numbering.
Is this a trick question?Is this free hand or paint or photoshop.
where's the trick in it.Is this a trick question?
The Trick , or at least what I use when making semi-straight lines and handwriting on drawings.where's the trick in it.
I want to compliment. If it is pain, I give u a gold star
