hello.
Totall noob here. I know how to solder and could tell the difference between a resister and a capacitor, but have no idea how to connect them together properly and or choose correct specs.
I'd like to make a small circuit that switches on for maybe 0.5 second and then waits maybe 5 minutes before switching on again. If these could be adjustable and/or randomised that would be even better. Ultimately this would result in a physical movement and I'm guessing the simplest/ cheapest option would be for the circuit to switch on/ off a small electric motor (but let me know if there are other options). Ideally running from a small cell battery (button)(1.5V).
any help gratefully received! Or point me to the right place.
Julius
