Add-on nav Circuit Help NEEDED... PLEASE

ger_uk · 7th December 2007, 22:02

I'm in the process of my install and I'm using a creative zen as my mp3 player. I've soldered two wires on the Zen's on/off switch, but to turn it on and off they need to make contact for 2-3 seconds.

I've been playing around with 555 timers, capacitors and relays with no luck now for about a week, but I'm no electronic engineer. This is what i need

turn on ignition
>relay triggered for 3 seconds then off

turn off ignition
>relay triggered for 3 seconds then off

If theres anyone out there with an electronic background who can help, I'd really appreciate it...

Thanks, Ger

I think that shouldn't be to difficult. But I'm to tired now, I'll get to it in the weekend.
