Hi All, first post here, i have been told the forums are helpful here!
so i’m going to try and make a touch less soap dispenser from scratch. i can have sheet metal cut and folded elsewhere so that is not an issue.
the issue is source the correct components… you have to understand i am a Mechanical Engineer… electric=magic to me.
i am going to run in on 4 D batteries so voltage is 6V? for a mechanical guess?
i will need a peristaltic pump which i believe i have sourced (link below, if not others very similar)
(aliexpress.com/item/New-DC- … 000f9f89-0)
but i will need a timer also to set how long the pump runs… again i’m getting really confused trying to fin a timer but again i think i have found one which would work, does anyone know of a cheap option? (see below link)
(timers.shop/Multi-Functional-5V- … _p_12.html)
but before all of that i need a hand motion sensor… these are harder to find than you think! the only one i keep finding are for lights and i’m assuming if they have a dimmer option they will be no good for just simply sending a signal but i have found one which is just an on/off function(link below)… could it be used? is there anything else i could be using to make this all easier for me?
