Yeah, he might understand how that works.

I was going to suggest a wind up oven timer..

In spite of my analog background I like the precision and stability of digital, but I've fallen back to complete simplicity, a single 555 Timer... that ought to make Slowman and Jerkin happy ;-)

Ahh! That clears that up. I wasn't sure if you wanted to build a pulse stretcher in 10 seconds, stretch a pulse to 10 seconds, or stretch a 10 second pulse to something even longer. ;-) Art
Excellent choice, and having the bastards grit their teeth makes it
even better! ;)
It was 34 in Ocala this morning.

You can't fix stupid. You can't even put a Band-Aid? on it, because it's
Teflon coated.
555, hilarious! Sounds like digital scared him off again.

To me it sounds like: "smaller, faster, better, cheaper." won.
I noticed no solutions of any kind from you, bigmouth, so I don't
think you have room to talk.
Yep. Digital was elegant, but required a clock (555 :-) and a counter chip and some gating. As a pure stretcher, all you need is the 555. The only thing pushing me to digital was that I didn't know I had some high value, high quality capacitors on-hand. Once I discovered those it was no contest.
Jerkin's "suggestions" would be laughable (as usual), thus his reticence :-) ...Jim Thompson
