Especially if the board is etched, rather than breadboard with jumpers . . .

We could make a prototype board (no silkscreen or solder mask), or, one with both of those. The first one would be pretty low-cost. I'll run the numbers, but, it's all based on quantity. I'm thinking only 10 or 25 would be appropriate.

How many boards are needed? 4 or 2? Does the $10 to $20 include a full kit, or is that per board? I would think at least 2, 1 for each side? I would think that anything under $30 shipped for a complete kit would be fair. That is just basing it on the $20 parts cost.

Two boards would be required. I have not mentioned a price yet. The boards would definitely be the highest-cost items as they would be custom and low-volume.

Yeah sorry i saw the 10 -25 and thought it was price but then re-read and noticed that was quantity. Thank for the clarification on how many boards are needed.

I am into doing the work myself to keep the cost down. I am ok with driving to the store myself and saving some money.

I almost posted the bare-board pricing, but, remembered that I can't, per the forum rules. PM if interested.

so here is the block diagram for use with a MOSFET/TRANSISTOR. i got it from the same website as the OP. the only issue i've had so far is finding a P-type MOSFET. i've gotten the circuit to work with a small PNP type transistor but have yet to find one that can carry the AMP's required by the bulbs. 90% of everything at radio shack is NPN or N type which is backward of the way the light is supposed to work. IE: it comes on first and then shuts off after the time out. still working on it. if anybody has suggestions, im open...

Looks like this PNP will work, but you may have to heat sink it.

I think the relay will work also, you just need to add a transistor to the output of the 555. Let me give it some thought and calculations and I will get back with you guys. |

how about a relay with a coil current rated at 30mA which is under the 200mA output of the 555 timer. not sure what relay the OP used which may have had a coil draw over the rated output of the 555.
