Just another monostable 555 timer question :D
I have a 555 monostable circuit with a relay attached to + and pin 3.
I tried attaching it to pin 3 and - but it didn't work. Anyway, its very temperamental and keeps going that when you push the button it will stay on for about 2 seconds or less, and sometimes it stays on just for the time the button is pushed.
I was wondering if it was the battery, but i was planning to connect a 9V plug to where the battery should be. Would this be a problem and blow the chip? If it would how could i fix it?
So yeah, my two questions:
Can i use a 9v powersupply instead of a 9v battery?
Why does the relay not stay on for the 15 seconds (ish) that it should?
Thanks for your help :D
Edit:
On the relay i have a motor. When the motor circuit is turned off the timer circuit works fine, but when i turn on the motor, the timer does not function correctly. The only way the two circuit are connected is by the relay
