So I setup a 555 timer to drive a CD 4027 which drove a L 293D. With the 555 running at 6 sec the 4027 switched at 12 seconds and the L293D follwed that. I investigated 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 120 seconds and found the best results can at 60 switching. "Ole Bob" "
Bob, Not sure who you are replying to, but either way, could you explain, preferably via a circuit diagram, just what a CD 4027 and L293D are, and what they do? Is it the "all solid state using a motor control IC for the output" you mention in digest #1121? In thinking a bit more about it, seem to recall that there are published details of Bob Beck's "Blood Electrifier" circuit that includes a square wave polarity reverser which reverses 4 times a second - should be readily adaptable. regards, Kevin Nolan ken...@optusnet.com.au
