Is it possible to have the MK111 as a single pulse timer? I only want it to pulse for 3 seconds once without repeating after the pause period. I thought perhaps if I jumped one of the capacitors this might do the trick. Any help or I’ve wasted the money (not much) and the construction time (quite a lot).
Thanks
The required modification is quite big. Basically you need a different circuit.
We’d recommend MK188. Also available assembled: VM188.
Many thanks for the quick response. The MK188 is significantly more expensive for some reason and prices itself out of my project. What about extending the pause to several hours by swapping out a resistor/capacitor?

Hi,
The heart of the MK111 is the 555 timer chip
You can find a lot of information on the internet about this and other circuits for the 555.
You may want to look at the K2579 as well
Thanks. I’ll look elsewhere.
