Hello,
I need a switch that when physically triggered with robot arm it cuts the power of a 12v circuit for 1 or 2 seconds then it goes back to normal again.
Anyone can help me find a switch for that?
Thank you
Google time delay switches. Commonly used for example to turn on a light with a button for a period then turn off. You would need to "invert" the function but that only needs a small relay or transistor.
Thankyou
Note that most time delay relays are usually pretty expensive since they are used for old-school industrial circuits. You can find programmable timers pretty cheap on Alibaba. I used to sell those through my website.
Building your own time delay switch with an arduino clone would be a useful project. Many of these time-delay relays were also controlled by basic 555 timer circuits.
Thank you. I found some programmable timers.
Can your robot's controller not do that?
What controller?
Anyway, all is good. All working.
Then please flag the topic as 'solved', so people don't waste time checking to see if they can help.
Thanks
I don't see how to flag the topic. You do it.
looks like you figured it out.
