Please log in for more thread options Hello The basic circuit I am using is at this link: http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a60/phil54/lm555circuit.jpg The resistors are set at 470k and the caps are .1 uf. This gives me a 10Hz pulse. Here is my problem I need help with.I am wanting to use this to pulse the neg.post of a ignition coil to groundcoil to ground.,( to cut ignition in and out to add it shifting).Now my problem is this circuit pulses positive. I can soldier and put things together but when it comes to designing something like this I am lost. Can someone give me some help here. Thanks | ||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Standard way to connect a coil to an output of a (logic) IC. Values of R, D an Q depend on information you did not provide. It is not even clear to me how the coil should be connected so I draw the "standard". -------+------------Vcc | | | | +--+---. ,- | )|( | )|( D - +-' '- ^ | | | +----+ | R___ |/ from 555 --|___|-----| Q output |>

P.S. you mite want to have a small cap from the - side to common other wise, you mite be seeing your tranny in semi after life land. there are other ways like, not allowing the tranny to go into cut off? etc... -- Real Programmers Do things like this. http://webpages.charter.net/jamie_5 | ||||||||||||||||

So Jamie,exuse my ignorance,remember I am a boater not to much of a electronics wiz. I use a npn transistor connected to the +vcc of the lm555 with the collector connected to the neg.post on coil? Any suggestions on a particular npn transistor that would be heavy enough to handle the switch to ground? Jamie wrote: > pranthony@hotmail.com wrote:
