Design with Gikfun Multifunction Trigger Delay Time Module Switch Control in Cirkit DesignerThe Gikfun Multifunction Trigger Delay Time Module Switch Control is an electronic timing controller that provides a delay before triggering an event in a circuit. This module is widely used in applications requiring timed operations such as automated control systems, delay timers in lighting systems, and as a pulse generator for stepper motor control.
This circuit uses an Arduino UNO to control eight 5V relay modules sequentially via a pushbutton. When the button is pressed, each relay is activated for 150 seconds in sequence. Additionally, a potentiometer and a buzzer are connected to the Arduino for potential additional functionalities.

This circuit is a countdown timer system controlled by an Arduino UNO, featuring multiple pushbuttons for time adjustment and a relay for triggering an external device. The LCD screen displays the countdown, and the relay activates when the timer reaches zero. The system is powered by a 7.4V battery and a 220V power source.

This circuit features an ESP32 microcontroller interfaced with multiple flush switches and two 4-channel relay modules to control various loads. It also includes a SIM900A module for GSM communication and an AC to DC converter for power management. The ESP32 handles input from the switches and controls the relays, while the SIM900A provides remote communication capabilities.

This circuit uses an Arduino UNO to control a relay for powering a gong, with a rocker switch included in the AC power line. It also features an I2C-connected LCD display and real-time clock for potential time-based triggering and display purposes. The actual behavior of the gong and display depends on the implementation of the Arduino code, which is currently not provided.
Open Project in Cirkit Designer| Pin Number | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | VCC (Power Supply Positive) |
| 2 | GND (Power Supply Negative) |
| 3 | IN (Trigger Input) |
| 4 | OUT (Output to Load) |
Power Supply Connection: Connect the VCC pin to a DC power supply within the range of 5V to 36V, and connect the GND pin to the ground of the power supply.
Load Connection: Connect the device or load you wish to control to the OUT pin. Ensure the load does not exceed the maximum current rating of 10A.
Trigger Input: The IN pin is used to trigger the delay. A low-level signal (close to 0V) on this pin will start the timing sequence.
Setting the Delay Time: Adjust the onboard potentiometer or use external controls to set the desired delay time within the 0.1 seconds to 999 minutes range.
Operating Mode Selection: Choose the appropriate operating mode for your application by adjusting the onboard jumpers or dip switches.
Q: Can I use this module with an Arduino? A: Yes, the module can be controlled using an Arduino by connecting the trigger input to an Arduino digital pin.
Q: What is the maximum load I can connect to this module? A: The maximum load should not exceed 10A.
Q: How do I adjust the delay time? A: The delay time can be adjusted using the onboard potentiometer or through external controls if available.
Q: Is it possible to power the module with a 5V USB power supply? A: Yes, as long as the power supply can provide sufficient current and falls within the 5V to 36V range.
// Example code to control the Gikfun Multifunction Trigger Delay Time Module
// with an Arduino UNO
const int triggerPin = 7; // Connect to the IN pin of the module
void setup() {
pinMode(triggerPin, OUTPUT);
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
digitalWrite(triggerPin, LOW); // Trigger the delay module
Serial.println("Module triggered, delay started.");
delay(1000); // Wait for 1 second
digitalWrite(triggerPin, HIGH); // Reset the trigger
delay(5000); // Wait for 5 seconds before triggering again
}
Note: The above code is a simple example to demonstrate how to trigger the delay module using an Arduino. Adjust the delay() values as needed for your specific application. Always ensure that the Arduino's digital pin connected to the module's trigger input is set to HIGH to keep the module in a reset state when not triggering.
