Step Two: 555 IC Circuit

One of the hardest steps...

Now we must make a circuit which gives us the ability to send a signal to ground @140hz, 35% duty cycle.

The way it works is pretty simple, in first gear- the shifter sends a "input 1st +12volts" which then goes and uses transistors to "turn on" the two solenoids used for 1st gear.

a 555 timer IC then takes these two solenoids and sends them to ground (thus working the solenoid!).

The solenoid useage per gear goes as follows:

Gear

Solenoid

1st

L/R & 2/4

2nd

None Needed (limp mode= 2nd gear!)

3rd (direct gear?)

2/4 & OD
