Can 5vdc be used instead of 12vdc.

Is it possible to do this with a 5vdc supply instead of 12vdc. Of course with different values.

I'm trying to use a port pin that has about 400ma to drive the circuit. I want to switch a DPDT relay momentarily with the 1 second hold time.


This is the circuit in question from another post. (Thanks goes to KMoffet)

"If I answer this Question I will be able to draw my diagram I want to review"




Thanks again, kv :)
 
Yes, that will work on any voltage as long as the relay is suitable.

What kind of port pin can supply 400mA?

Mike.

Mike.

It's a mixer that we use called Clearone. In this instance I'm using pins 1-3-5 which are activated by momentary contact to ground which are all in parallel this turns on 2 Ceiling omni directional Mics and Mutes the professor or vise versa with the second press .

I can program a second function in combination to pull down one of (2) 3904's inside the units. Activating the 2 seperate port pins pulling down there 5 volt supply's for relay's or other devices.

I'm limited to only 2 ports with 5 volts. But, I may be able to Employ a 3 unit into play to gain 2 additional 5 volt pins (I would like to use some of the voltage for Led's so I'm not sure where I want to go with this yet.)

I'm hoping to do a simple relay circuit in combination with 2 cd4013's circuit for an on-off master relay with a 12v supply to lockout other students while someone is talking. This will be useful because I can keep the relay noises in the room with all our Technical Operations equipment.

Do you think this is a good reliable circuit ? I know that de-bounce is a concern.

I found out. I can drive my port pin high and it will give me a pulse instead of the constant 5vdc. I could then set the port up and with a relay as the momentary contact to energize the circuit above.

I want to build the above circuit for each student so I can lock out other students until the person using the Mics are done.


Thanks,kv :)
 
I'm interested in this circuit to but I don't get 0v vs 12v.

+12 I understand to ground. Is 0v lifted or floating ?

Thanks, kv :)

This is what I got so far. I've (not) included the power supply's for the latching relay circuit and most of you would probably would do this with a Pic. This over my skill level. If I have a stable circuit design I can build it.

Stu 1 pushes his button the port pins fires the momentary contact.

1. Momentary relay closes.

2. Master opens closing out other students.

3. Stu 1 relay closes, allowing for reset.

The Master relay is part of a circuit "ericgibbs" designed for me. Which btw is in two rooms with 4 Giant LED's and 4 control circuit boxes(Thanks Eric :D:D:D).

When I get done with these rooms and there completed. I plan to take some Pics.


Thanks, kv :)

I don't think you can drive a 5V/200Ω relay with the CD4013. They can sink and source only about 2mA. The relay will require pull 25mA @5v.

That's funny I was originally going to use your circuit with 4700uf cap and 1k resistor which had the 200ohm relay I missed that thanks.

I have a relay that I've had success with so far.

I think it's a mosfet.

Edit:Edit: nte-R74-11D1-5

Edit: It won't be driven off the cd4013 it's source is the port pin from my mixer Parallel Port. It uses a 2n3904 400ma.

Here is a new Diagram with the change driven from the port pin 5v supply.

I don't see the difference in the two schematics. Am I missing something?
And what is relay RL1, on pin 13 if the cd4013?

Thanks ken. :)

Your not missing anything I am. I picked that diagram and it's not designed to support the relay. I really didn't think anyone was watching so I thought I could re - draw it without anyone noticing. :D

So, I'm going with the diagram Named Toggle Switch No.1 it's from one of my post's above in the post chain.;) It looks easier and has the veroboard Layout too!

I'll draw up another one hoping to make it better to understand.

Thanks,again.

While sequence is happening a microphone is un-muted

Sequence :

1. Stu 1 pushes his momentary contact button at his desk.

2. Db Port 2 pin fires from the mixer to momentary contact.

3. Momentary relay closes RL/DPDT.

4. Master relay opens locking out other students.

5. Stu 1 relay closes, allowing for reset.

Student asks question or finishes statement.

6. Stu 1 pushes his momentary contact when finished at his desk.

7. RL/DPDT closes - RL 1 opens as well and "Master relay" closes.

Ready for sequence to begin for another Stu 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 Circuit board.

kv :)

Edit: Keep in mind the Microphones are 2 ceiling mount omni directional Mics.

I breadboarded this and it works.

I'm about to build it and begin to test it with a couple of circuit boards together to see if I can find any glitches. Afterward I will build 12 of these per room.

In the future I would like to perform this with a Pic or pics or Large Microprocessor.

Question : 12 inputs / Maybe 2 outputs = lockout all inputs allowing for 1 input to be performed at a time.
