Hello, this looks to be a great place to get some information on a project i want to built.
So here is the idea, i just dont know which way to take it, what the best components for the circuit are,etc. Any help would be appreciated.
I would like to be able to have two DC Electromagnets and be able to vary the ampere through them in as wide a range as possible.
For this purpose a lab/school benchtop powersupply source seems to be the best choice, right?
I would also like them to be on a variable timer, so that one is one while the other electromagnet is off, and then after a particular amount of time, i would like to turn the first magnet off, and the second one on. This particular amount of time should be adjustable from miliseconds (or smaller if possible) to a couple of seconds.
Will a 555 deliver this adjustability?
I really do not know much about timers,etc, so any help would be great. Schematics of a possible circuit would be cool.
Thank you all in advance,
