Seeking help with a circuit design
Reply #24 –
I suppose an easy way to control when the circuit shuts off could be to drive a 555 at 1/60 Hz and have it drive a 4017 decade counter. When output 9 goes hi, 10 minutes have elapsed. Or if that frequency is still too low for the 555, chain two decade counters (output 9 of the first one supplying clock input to the second one) and drive the 555 at 1/6 Hz (pulse every 6 seconds).
