![]() I am not saying it won't fill your needs just that I do not think it is what you actually want. The relay board sghioto references in post #15 seems to be capable of DOM (Delay On Make) and DOB (Delay On Break) and a Google of model fc-32 timer will bring up the circuit applications for it. This is where you need to make sure the relay module you purchase does what you want it to do and uses a trigger you can easily provide be it a broken beam, a simple switch or a proximity sensor. Here are some explanations of various types of timing applications. With the idea being any additional triggers once timing begins are ignored. At the end of the time delay (t), the output is de-energized and the time delay relay is ready to accept another trigger. During the time delay (t), the trigger is ignored. When the trigger is applied, the output is energized and the time delay (t) begins. Upon application of input voltage, the time delay relay is ready to accept a trigger. You also want it to be non-retriggerable. What you want is commonly called a Single Shot, One Shot or Momentary Interval timer. The timer is likely the centerpiece of your building blocks. As for audio - have the sound playing all the time and have the sensor turn on the amplifier.Īs for a motor dropping a ghost - that's going to be a little harder to find something that's plug n play. OR - and you said a smoke machine - you can plug that into the outlet directly. ![]() Wire it up to a multi-tap door bell transformer and you can likely get 8, 16 or 24 volts AC. Anything that can operate off of that power supply should work for the "TEST" duration. As for screwing a light into the end of it - screw one of those plug sockets that has two prongs. Could be on for maybe 15 to 20 seconds, not sure exactly, but there's your sensor and trigger. Well, there's a "TEST" setting that has quite a short duration while you aim the sensor. I know, I know, you don't want it on that long. When motion is detected it turns on the light for anywhere from 5 minutes to 20 minutes. Porch lights have them, but you don't want all that hassle, but some years back, don't know if you can still get this, but you screw it into the light socket and then you screw a light bulb on the end of that. If, for some reason, you are utterly displeased about something in this tutorial, or have a question, please feel free to leave a comment below! Not that we'll necessarily look at it or anything (we are American high-schoolers who did this for a good grade be realistic) but you are still entirely free to leave comments.Plug n play ? Well, as far as a sensor and a device that will operate a power source, first thing comes to my mind in the PnP realm would be an IR lamp. ![]() Note: We hope that this timer is useful and worth the time it takes to construct. However, if you wish to create something that would make the timer appear more like an actual timer instead of just an LCD screen, random components, and a bunch of wires everywhere on a breadboard, go for it! Let your imagination run wild!!! XD Note: We did not further decorate or design our timer for lack of time. If not, here's a valuable tip: Don't forget those semicolons! ) Copy it down word for word and read the comments, and you should be good. It is relatively simple and short, though it may seem somewhat complicated. Then, take a look at the code we included. If you are still having trouble, we encourage you to try your best and use your knowledge and intuition to figure it out! If you still encounter any problems or are confused by the jumble of wires and are not sure where a wire would go based on the diagram, refer to the pictures below. Follow that diagram perfectly, and you should be fine. It gives you a nice, easy-to-understand view of the wiring and placement of components. Next, take a look at the Fritzing diagram we have included. Make sure that you are able to attain each of these, for they are all crucial to the functionality of this timer. This project allows for you to have a beautiful, functional, efficient timer, embellished with LEDs and an annoying alarm-sound-making-thing (see also: piezo) for when the timer runs out.įirst, take a look at all of the necessary components. This is why we were inspired (and low-key forced) to create this wonderful project. Whether you need to make sure that your cookies in the oven do not burn, that your child does not spend more time watching TV than allotted, or that you can beat your friends in a burrito-eating competition and stuff as many burritos into your system within the time limit as possible (I don't know why you would do that, but you do you), timers are important in ensuring that you keep track of time in an effective way.
