Hey,
New NOOB here. I want to make a timer circuit, that I can waterproof, to control the on-off cycle of a 12 volt DC, 3 amp or less motor.
It is the aerator pump for the livewell of a fishing boat. I would like to be able to have the pump come on for 30 seconds-2 minutes, then shut off for about 5-15 minutes.
As far as waterproofing, I intend to seal it up in silicone caulking or some such material. Even though it probably won't get wet, it is in a boat and the possibility always exists...
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
BTW, I know a little something, something about electronics, but only as a dummy.
Please, dumb down your explanations, although if you link me to a circuit diagram, I can follow that pretty much OK.
I would also like to keep the whole thing under 2 inches square, if possible.
