Well heres my problem, im new at electronics so i will start out like this. Im using a ninevolt battery to turn on two leds at the same time (easy). What i need is to syncronize the second led to turn on a fraction of a second later then the first one, but by turning on the same switch. Any ideas? Thanks...
Hi teebaum can you tell a bit more about your circuit.After th switch is pressed the first LED lights up & the second LED turns ON after a while.Do you need to stay like that?or how are you going to switch OFF that?or you don't need to switch off?Are you using a push button or another switch?
What exactly are you tring to do? If you want an LED to turn ON and a second LED to turn ON a fraction of a second later I would use a microcontroller.
If you want an RC delay on the second LED? To make it look like it came on later, that is fine as well..
But if you do not know what a capacitor (CAP) is "and" you have it working "(easy)" with a 9VDC battery (you better know what a resistor is).
I know what a capacitor is, i just didnt notice the acronym. I have an okay understanding, but what size capacitor would you recomend for this short delay.
