I'm sure there is an easy solution to my problem, but I very little electronics background and don't yet have a breadboard to even experiment on. In fact, it was only two days ago that I learned a 555 doesn't need to (or can) be programmed by a computer to use.
I want to make a buzzer that will go off for about two seconds when a push button is pressed. I'll figure out the capacitor and resister needs in the future, right now I'm concerned about how to make it work at all. The switch I will use this for is normally on.
Can I use http://www.kpsec.freeuk.com/images/555mono.gif" , but with the trigger taken out (solid connection) and the push button where the reset is? Or does that not allow the capacitor to charge correctly to buzz when pressed?
My other thought was to have the push button connected to a Flip/Flop and have that connected in the "trigger" spot of the above diagram.
Would either of those work? If neither work, please just tell me that (don't post a solution, I want to learn to fish, not be handed a fish) and I'll try other things when I can get a breadboard to work on.
Thank you
