The time can be set with a potentiometer between 1 minute and 1023 minutes, about 17 hours. A pushbutton starts the time, turns on a relais and the timer will turn off the relais when the time is elapsed. It can be switched to seconds for a shorter time period (17 minutes) e. g. to boil eggs, also easy to forget about. The ATTiny15 is using an inte

rnal oscillator only and needs a calibration for a 10 ms high pulse on PB1, so it is necessary to write a good calibration byte to the OSCCAL register, which is in the beginning of the program OSCCAL_val= 0x6F. It`s a bit of trial and error until the 10 ms are set for your contoller but is should be done. The total time is not extremely accurate because we can`t use a quartz, but for a battery charger I think it is good enough, the batteries don`t mind a few minutes more or less. However, time setting with a potentiometer is quick and easy. If 17 hours are not sufficient and a longer time is required it is possible to change the value of cnt_cmp = 100 ; 100 * 10 ms = 1 second in the program to e. g. cnt_cmp = 200, which will double the time to 34 hours. Depending on your application the time can also be much shorter, change cnt_cmp accordingly. Any high to low transition on PB4 will start the timer, even a LDR could be connected to PB4 to make a light switch which turns on for the preset time when it is dark. It will turn off even if PB4 is still low and then waits for the switch or LDR to go high again. This also prevents a false trigger when the time is short and the button is still pressed. It is quite flexible and can be adapted to many applications which need a timer.
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
