Novice in need of help. I want to control a 3 V (2AA) electric motor with 2 +/- sec on and 50-60+/- seconds off. Know that I should use a 555 for control. Found a project at **broken link removed** that is a 555 controller. Was thinking about switching the capacitors and resistors to C=200uFd, R1 to 15,000 ohms, and R2 to 400,000 ohms, and hooking the motor up to where the lights would connect. I was also told I will need a power MOSFET.
Will this work? Are these reasonable Capacitor and resistor values (just plugged values into calculator until I had the right timing)? If I need a Mosfet, how do I size?
Thanks in advance.
