Using a standard switch as a momentary switch
I have a very nice non-momentary switch I'd like to use for a computer
project. The obvious problem is that I need a momentary switch, not a normal one. Any thoughts on how I can go about this? I'm trying to design a circuit that would burst power when the switch is flipped for a short time before cutting itself off, but no luck so far. Google isn't any help either. Thanks a bunch |

Using a standard switch as a momentary switch
It probably would be cheaper to just use a momentary, but the switch I
wanted to use is a real antique, and it would be a shame to not use it. I have a working circuit using a 555 timer and a capacitor, I guess that's as good as I'm going to get. The circuit pulses 5v for about 1/8 of a second whenever the switch changes states, which ends up working perfectly for me. |
