After a few different circuits which I could never quite understand I have settled on one at https://www.mdpub.com/555Controller/index.html.
It uses a 555timer so The flip flop on 1/3rd and 2/3rds voltage seems to work well.
I have some different needs though.
It is for 12 Volts . I want it to control 24 Volt systems with 30 volts in, and a 48 Volt system with a 80 Volt in ,from solar panel.
This circuit switches a relay on when it gets to its peak setting.
I want it to control a Mosfet and turn it off when it hits the top setting.
I am asking for help to firstly convert it to Mosfet switching off and also suggestions how I might change the circuit to control the higher voltages.The lm78l05 can only tale 15 volts max and a lm78l08 is limited to about 20V I think.so maybe a 317 which can take a 36V max might be used or maybe an entirely different approach might be warranted?
All help will be appreciated .Thanks
