  • I hope you have a damper diode across the solenoid coil, or it has one built in. When the power is removed from the coil it can act just like a car coil and send damaging voltage back through the circuit, eventually frying the 555. A standard 1N4001 across the coil, opposite of the supply voltage polarity, will protect everything.

  • Good point... I think this SMC solenoid has a built in diode, but if it doesn't I will add one. THANKS!

  • where can I find more information about your 555 timer circuit?

  • Search Youtube for more videos showing the 555 circuit. Also search the web for a 555 timer calculator. It is very easy once you get into it. If you can't solder, you can still do it with a bread-board. GOOD LUCK.

  • @PR0CRASTINAT0R whats your opinion on the Prop-1 controller?

  • @mortarlover123

    I have never tried a Prop 1, but I have aways wanted to.
