fonfe Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 i havent a clue what to actually call this, as i am very limited to my electronic knowledge but im going to have a go at learning!! what im after is shall i say a "12volt pulse unit" so that if i connect it to a battery it will send constant pulses to whatever i connect it to.can someone tell me what to call this "thing"!! as i dont know what to call it and therefore i dont know what im looking for on the internet and so therefore i cant buy one! :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotwaterwizard Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 How fast do you want these pulses to go?How much Current do you want it to handle?There are several names for it .Multivibrator, Flip-Flop, Timer, Astable, Pulse Generator, Inverter, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fonfe Posted October 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 i want it to pulse about 2-3 times a second, and be able to hold about 30amps max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotwaterwizard Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Here is one such circuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fonfe Posted October 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 now this definatly shows me up! ???because i only half understand that!! what im trying to do is create a constant pulse to an automotive coil which will create a spark. the coil charges and discharges only when a pulse is sent to it so if i hook it striaght up to a battery then it wil only charge/disscharge the once. whereas i want it to do this continusly. what type of "pulser" should i be looking for to achieve this? -i set myself this as my 1st electronic project as i figured it would be relativly simple....but im starting to struggle :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
