    555 timer TRIAC flasher

    Thanks a lot, it works now.

    555 timer TRIAC flasher

    The zener can also be placed after the diode, right?

    555 timer TRIAC flasher

    I meant, if it matters whether it is live-referenced or neutral-referenced

    555 timer TRIAC flasher

    Does it need to be neutral or live referenced to trigger the triac correctly? Would a non-polarized cause any issues with the circuit?

    555 timer TRIAC flasher

    I made this circuit that is just an astable 555 powered by a capacitive dropper with the output connected to the gate of a MAC97A6 triac. The load (a dimmable LED lamp) does flash, but it never fully turns off, how can I solve this? The triac gate voltage and current seem to be fine.

    Relaxation Oscillator Help

    Little output on the secondary. What kind of waveform is it supposed to produce? Isnt it something like this? (I currently have no oscilloscope)

    Relaxation Oscillator Help

    Speaker is 9 ohm Transformer resistance is a short circuit

    Relaxation Oscillator Help

    It is relevant, when you connect a speaker you can hear 60hz mains frequency superimposed with the high frequency tone the circuit makes. For some reason this is not the case with the 12v transformer.

    Relaxation Oscillator Help

    Its a hobby thing I was first running it with a 12v wii power brick, now im running it with a 12v transformer and a half wave rectifier. I changed because the SMPS introduces noise to the circuit

    Relaxation Oscillator Help

    Why can it work with a speaker (wich is a coil) but not with transformer (also a coil)

    Relaxation Oscillator Help

    (The cap is 2.2 uf and the LED is replaced with speaker)

    Relaxation Oscillator Help

    I made a 2n2222 oscilator (the super simple type) it works with a speaker, but i tried to power a ferrite transformer with it and it seems it stops the oscillation. The transformer has 20t on primary and 310t on secondary, i wanted to use it as a fluorescent lamp instant starter. I dont get...

    Driving Transformer Help

    the transformer has a ferrite core 30 turns on primary 250 on secondary (new version has 20 turns on pri and 400 on sec The primary is 1 mm wire and the sec is 0.1 mm

    Driving Transformer Help

    I made a small transformer with 30 turns on primary and around 250 turns on the secondary and I want to know how to drive it. I thought I could drive it with a 2N2222 oscillator like this one Could I just replace the LED with the primary of my transformer? What effect would this have on the...

    Photoresistor

    True, it changes resistance when exposed to light. To get it working you probably need a transistor and some other components like in this schematic.
