I need a digital power timer that will come on every 5 minutes for use in time lapse photography. Any ideas?
Posted on Sep 01, 2009 under Digital news and reports |I am making time lapse photos of plant flowers under a microscope. I don’t want to run the lamp the entire time I will be making the video since it will burn the bulb faster and dehydrate my flower. I’ve looked but couldn’t find a digital power timer that would allow you to toggle between on/off at relatively short intervals. I would like to turn the lamp on for 20 seconds at 4:50 until 5:10 and the use the camera’s time lapse function to take the picture every 5 minutes.
Any ideas? Thanks

If you can build electronic circuits, you could build a simple 556 timer with a relay. You should be able to get all of the parts you need at a Radio-Shack store. But if you can’t solder or do electronics it might be kind-of hard. You can e-mail me for a circuit if you wan’t to try it.
It’s pretty simple but it sounds like you’ll be switching 120V for the light, so it could be dangerous.
Here is a link to an industrial controls co. that probably has what your’e looking for:
