Hey, new here and i'm stuck with how to connect the MK111 relay kit.
This is my circuit. The VM136 is the same as the MK111
Short description of the project:
For this years Roskilde-Festival, my camp and i decided to go for something a bit untraditional for our camp flag.. a homing beacon that we can spot from far far away.
We are putting a 1 meter diameter white ballon on top of a 8 meter high pole, and at night, the ballon is supposed to be lit up by 5 x 12V orange LED's that should be "breathing" (fading up and down, or at least down!)
I started out looking through youtube, and found a lot of solutions with the 555 chip, but for me building all that was a bit out of my comfort zone. So i found a relay, so that i also can set the pause time and pulse time!
Now i only need to figure out how to connect this relay, and this is were i need your help!
Here's my schematics of my circuit
Parts:
1 x 12V car battery
1 x VM136 / MK111 / PMK111 Interval timer relay
1 x 500Ω Potentiometer (to change the strength of the LED's)
1 x 6800uF 16V Electrolytic Capacitor (should give around 3 seconds of fade time, but i might switch it for one with less Farads)
5 x 12V Orange LED's (they have a built in resistor in each diode, so ready to use on 12V DC)
And this is the connection issue i have, cause i really don't know where to connect the "LED part" of the circuit, to this relay.
I would really appreciate if you could help me on how to connect the relay to my circuit!
