AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around using 555 timers to control a valve by either opening it for a short duration or activating a switch to push a button. A simpler solution is sought that would allow a single 555 timer to trigger a button press. The idea includes building a monostable circuit to generate a single pulse. Additionally, grounding the reset leg of the timer is suggested as a way to enable repeated button presses. A tutorial on ladder logic is recommended for further understanding.

I am trying to set up some 555 timers to either:
1 - open a valve for a short period of time and then close it
2 - activate some sort of switch that will push a button to open the valve

it will be much more simple for me if I could find something that will push a button when triggered by a single 555 timer.

also, with that situation the pulse would just have to be run once and a simple monostable circuit could be built.

to have it push the button again all I would have to do is ground the reset leg, right? thanks PF

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
