Hi Folks
I'm handy with a soldering iron but have very litte idea about electronics. I have a device that powers off if a button isn't pressed within something like 30 seconds but I want to keep it alive automatically. Could someone please help me with a simple circuit that would activate a switch every second, five seconds, whatever? I have already established that just holding the button will not work. Someone suggested I do this with an arduino (which I have) but I would've thought that was overkill.
Cheers
