Simple lamps circuit

[Romano]

Hi dear friends.

I am a beginner in electronics. I am trying to make a circuit with the following characteristics:

Please, see the gif attached.



Functionalities

1 - when switch 1 is activated, lamp 1 flashes and lamp 2 remains on, even after releasing the switch.

2 - even if switch 1 remains pressed, lamp 1 does not flash again and lamp 2 remains on.

3 - If switch 1 is pressed again, lamp 1 does not flash again and lamp 2 remains on.

4 - Switch 2 resets the system, allowing switch 1 to make the lamp flash again and turning on lamp 3.

Could someone help with this project? I need to learn how to do it. If it takes to many time to do, would like to pay for any help, project or lesson.

Thanks, dear friends.

What's your starting point?
The switching seems ok. What do you know of switches?

There is a time element involved, as one seems to flash.
What do you have that might be able to change with time after being turned on?

You basically have to create a state machine, which you have in essence in words.

Then either translate that into discrete logic or a processor.

Question have you ever written any programs ?

Hi Naren, thanks by the answer!!!!!

I know almost nothing about switches. I have already used simple switches and switches with two positions, but I’ve never combined two different switches. I think I can assemble a thee way switch in the wall, that can allow me to turn off a light bulb from two different switches, that’s all I know about switches.

About the time. The lamp 1 needs to stay on for 15.6ms. No, it does not need to be changed after the project is assembled.

Thanks, my friend.

Hope you are referring to low voltage lamps here.

Microcontrollers were made for such things.

Arduino forum would be a good place to start, along with some basic gear, clones micros are fine.

Suggest you stay well away from mains power.

Hi, Dana, thanks for the answer!!!!

No, I have never done it. I thought about to read a little about Arduino, but I thought it would be wiser to ask here before, once it could exist a switch with this functionality, avoiding me to need complex circuits. I would like to keep it as simple as possible.

Regards, thanks!

Hi, Bluejets!

, No, we are talking about 1,5v circuits with leds, .

I will check the Arduino Forum. Thanks!

Consider doing this project first with LEDs as lamps first, then get advice/learn
how to wire up a lamp to mains, and use relays to manage switching them on/off.

Not good advice given the Op has admitted they know next to nothing about electronics let alone mains supply.

Hi, Dana.

It will be a led project. Is there relays that could perform these effects? Witch should I type on Google to find information about these relays?

 

[Romano]

Guys.

How much it would cost me to have a circuit project like that? Someone could do it? It will be powered by 1,5v batteries.

 

[danadak]

What tools do you have, a vollt/ammeter, a soldering iron, a breadboard......?

 

[Romano]

Yes, Dana. I’ve all the tools needed at disposal. But, I really need the schematics.

 

[Bluejets]

And the Arduino forum said....???????

 

[danadak]

Is this a student exercise ?

I suggest using Arduino Nano or Uno board. You would hook up leds
to port pins like this :



Use a R of ~ 170 ohms.

Then use mBlock to code the Arduino.

Here is a training video -

Try making this post on Arduino forum and specify that you'd like to use and Arduino board.
