Hello all
Thought I might put this one past the knowlegeable panel of electronic experts here.
I would like to discharge a capacitor once it gets to a certain voltage. I would like a near complete discharge (not supper picky, but the more the better) and I would like it to reset itself automatically (i.e. no 555 timers). I would like this requirement because the capacitor will be charged based on a variable speed rotor, and the timer would have to react to these conditions, which is way to dificult and impractical.
If anybody has any ideas, maybe a circuit that has an upper voltage limit that triggers it, and then a lower voltage limit that resets it....I would love to hear your advice
