Hey Kama, how’s things with you? Been thinking about our old forum and as this is the only contact I have for you I thought I would say hello 👋 Hope you are still alive and well and tinkering. Hope to hear from you soon, Dave
Hi Dave. Long time no talk! Things are good here, don't really mess around with RC anymore but still have all the stuff. Maybe someday I'll pick it up again. I'd assume the micro t forum is gone? Haven't been there in years. Hope your are well, great to hear from you! Geoff
+Graham R Dyer Thanks for the comment! I ended up in my final design using a 10kΩ resistor and a 100µF electrolytic cap. This gave me a nice and consistent delay. HTH!
I have same issue...it chatters like crazy and i can see sparks in the relay....could it be a bad transistor causing this? It is a 12v relay and when i measured voltage at the supply i do get 12v but on the other end of coil where the transistor is i only get 6v....could transistor be bad causing this issue?
@@kamaka71 Hi dude I did it but it does not work is it possible that i wired wrongly wrongly? here's I do: I connect the capacitor +ve and -ve together with the relay's power source input and the 10kOhm resistor to relay's negative output in series. If you can share me something graphical to mrloveholic@gmail.com it might help cause I 'm maybe a bit noob to figure it out. Hope u can help Thanks dude,
Interested in your solution. what size of capacitor and resistor did you use? I am assuming you are using a 12V dc relay. The video isn't totally clear how this is wired across the coil of the relay Thanks
Hi Derek. I used a 100k ohm resistor in series and a 1 uf capacitor in parallel with the relay coil. Basically using an RC circuit as a buffer to the relay. When i made the video I used annotations to explain what was the problem and explanation. RUclips has gotten rid of those annotations so the video doesn't make much sense. Apologies. If you have more questions, just let me know.
this solution is not very correct. you are trying to move the sensor quickly after putting the RC across the relay. do it slowly up or down the chatter will come back
gave thumbs up 100%; why thumb people down when you don't understand?! don't like because you dummy?!!! Look what he does and the solution : adding a resistor he rises the voltage hence stopping the relay chattering ...great

kamaka71 Great to know you are well! Can you find me on Instagram so we can catch up? I am Hondapants in there :)
Thanks for that, This will save me some mucking about.

Yes thanks for that, that may be good for the coop.

Can u share me the schematic I have the same issue controlling relay negative triggered tap to car dome light. Thanks
I used a 10 k ohm resistor in series and a 100 uf capacitor to ground. Hope this helps
@@kamaka71 let me try this first i just need to shop 10k ohm resistor the 100uf caps i have it. Let u know the result😃

Derek, my reply was incorrect. I used a 10k resistor and 100 uf capacitor
@@kamaka71 Thanks. Just to clarify, is the resistor and capacitor in series and both then paralleled with the relay coil
or the resistor is wired to the feed both the relay coil AND capacitor

+Patnaik UC It worked for me, my final design had been working properly for over a year now. 10kΩ resistor and a 100µF cap.

This brief video is a waste of time
