But, I had all these materials laying around already in my studio.<BR/><BR/>Plus, the whole thing took like 20 minutes from start to finish.Michael Unahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00892245585845664961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984603174491421612.post-70311295010089428692008-03-22T01:04:00.000-05:002008-03-22T01:04:00.000-05:00Cool device.<BR/><BR/>Have you considered using a relay and a purely electronic circuit instead? It would reduce the chance of the device failing from a mechanical fault.<BR/><BR/>You could use a simple transistor-capacitor oscillator, or you could connect up a wee PIC or AVR micrcontroller (which would allow you to do a lot more stuff, if you wanted).TrollyHerdsmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10007381375927923741noreply@blogger.com
