Hallo Guys,

For my specific requirement  (1-bit 400-600 patterns with display time interval of 5~10Seconds),  i need to use trigger connector(J7) to send  periodic triggers of 5~10Seconds to display patterns,  but i've no idea how the trigger can be economically generated. Could you please provide me some suggestions? Which Trigger can i directly purchase?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much in advance.

best regards,

Di

    Hi Di,

    There are several ways you can generate the periodic pulses. It can be as simple as simple hardware (555 timer) or advanced like a microcontroller. You may want to wait somemore time to see people responding to this thread.

    Fixed timer approach simple hardware - IC 555 timer in 'Astable' mode - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/555_timer_IC you can design a small circuit to do the need for you.

    Microprocessor based - MSP430 etc.

    Regards,

    Sanjeev
