Hey, if you think you have enough time, I could send you a 555 timer and some parts to make an oscillator. If you wanted I could assemble it all and just leave some wires for you to connect everything.
YAY guess what!? i tried the oscillator 9v battery and the buzzer and it worked didn't even burn out the oscillator!!!! but it was going very fast is that because i didn't limit the current?
(yes that was a bone head move if it didn't work but hey life is about taking chances^_^ )
NOTE: i am not sure if i should add the capacitor or not and if i do what size? i have 100:mu:F 10:mu:F 47:mu:F and assorted ceramic pack i got from the source. and the resistor is just an approximation of what i might need i didn't set it in stone.
Sorry to say this, but there probably isn't an easy way to slow down the oscillator. Unless it is a circuit and not a specific part, then you could do it. If it's just a simgle component, the onyl way you could do it is using some divider IC's.
Hmmmm...thats odd. Does it keep doing that? Otherwise you may have damages the oscillator.
Also, if you have a couple resistors, capacitors and 2 transistors lying around you could make a simple multivibrator circuit that could provide the pulses you need.
2 of each kind of resistor up to 3.3mhm: and a bunch of ceramic capacitors (tested them on a Ohm meter and they didn't seem to work is that because they are capacitors or are they broke) and i have a bunch of npn transistors (scraped from an old CD player) so those simple parts i have just not specialty ones like oscillators and ic's i only have a about 15 from an old power supply(haven't looked for a data sheet)
NOTE: all my parts outside the resistors and capacitors came from a mac centris 610 that i took apart thats my electronic store
