OK - Not gonna beat around the bush - I am a complete novice!! (but not ID 10 T error either)

What I am trying to do (and I must add for as little money as possible) is simply put either a delay in a button push. Let me explain a little better

I have a momentary button wired to light A and from light A it is wired to light B.

When I push the button, light A and B illuminate at the same time. What I need it to do (the simplest way possible) is to hit light A, then hit light B - this could be a 1/4 second delay - I don't care, I just need them to illuminate in order rather than simultaneously.

I am not really using lights in this scenario, just felt it was the easiest way to explain what I am trying to accomplish. I basically want to be able to push a button and have action A happen, then a split second later have action B happen.

Any help or guidance would be appreciated!!

Thanks

You could try a parallel RC circuit delay. According to the equation: T=RC where T represents time, R represents resistor, and C represents capacitor. Make sure you complete all the values, so if I have a 10k resistor make sure you have 10,000 in the equation.

You will need a transistor, an electrolytic, a few resistors, a relay and 2 diodes. Are you able to get these types of components?

blueroom - I wish I could simply buy it, and yes I have a shop right around the corner from me - I actually might just take it there and see what they say - might be easier

I guess the problem with me stating I would do anything and that I knew nothing, is I will not be able to recognize a good solution so if you agree with someone else here, please say so!!

Thanks
