I've found some schematics, but I still need some help. What types of components should I get? What values (such as resistance and voltage) should they have? This is what I have come up with so far: -555 timer -electric motor -mini prototype circuit board -resistors -batteries...

Even though it does seem useful, that kit is a little over the project budget of $50. Any oher ideas?

I am really not sure what kind of motor. Any simple motor will work just fine. Like I said, I am new to this kind of thing. I am just expecting a motor that will turn and axle when current is sent through it.

I am looking for ideas on how to make a motor run for a certain period of time, but I do not have much experience in circuits. The design is to have the system start at the push of a button. The design can be mechanical or electrical. As of now I am wondering if there is a device that will...
