Especially when price and usability are the main selling points. So what should you do when it’s time to turn around and make that project of yours run on a battery or solar? Sure you could try to hot-air that regulator off, or you could jerry-rig a relay. Or, use a 555? Ugh, the options aren’t that great.</p> <p>The <strong>Adafruit TPL5111 Reset Enable Timer</strong> is a stand-alone breakout that will turn any electronics into low-power electronics! It will take care of enabling & disabling your electronics using a built in timer that can vary from once-every 100ms up to once every two hours. Basically, the TPL will set an enable pin high periodically, adjustable by potentiometer or resistor, and turn on your project’s power. It will then wait until a signal is received from the project to tell the TPL that it can safely disable the project by setting the enable pin low.</p> <p><a href=„https://www.adafruit.com/product/3573“><img src=„https://cdn-blog.adafruit.com/uploads/2017/08/3573_kit_ORIG.jpg“ alt=„3573 kit ORIG“ title=„3573_kit_ORIG.jpg“ border=„0“ width=„779“ height=„600“ class=„img-responsive“/><br/></a><br/> We also have a <a href=„https://www.adafruit.com/product/3435“><strong>TPL5110</strong> breakout</a>, which rather than setting an enable pin high/low, connects and disconnects power. The <strong>TPL5111</strong> breakout is best when you have an enable pin you can control, the <strong>TPL5110</strong> is best when you are able to ‘break’ the power input line to place the <strong>TPL5110</strong> between the power supply and Vin.</p> <p>Usage is easy. First, set your desired delay but adjusting the on-board trim pot: all the way to the left is once-per-100ms and all the way to the right is once-every-2-hours. Then, connect VDD up to your 3-5V project power supply, and then your project’s enable pin to the Enable pin. Finally, select a signal pin from your project to the Done pin. In your project’s code or design, just make sure that it sets the Done pin high once it is completed with its task. That’s it!</p> <p><a href=„https://www.adafruit.com/product/3573“><img src=„https://cdn-blog.adafruit.com/uploads/2017/08/3573_quarter_ORIG.jpg“ alt=„3573 quarter ORIG“ title=„3573_quarter_ORIG.jpg“ border=„0“ width=„780“ height=„600“ class=„img-responsive“/><br/></a><br/> While the TPL5111 is running (but the remainder of the project is de-powered) the current draw is about 20uA (according to our Monsoon Power Meter).</p> <p>If you want to turn the device on by hand, you can also activate the TPL by pressing the onboard tactile switch (or wire your own switch to the Delay pin) See? Your power problems just got solved!</p> <p>Comes as a fully assembled breakout board with a TPL5111 chip, all components on-board, and some header. A little light soldering is required to put it together for breadboard use.</p> <p><a href=„https://www.adafruit.com/product/3435“>In stock and shipping now!</a></p> <div class=„ctx-subscribe-container ctx-personalization-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix“/><div class=„ctx-social-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix“/><div class=„ctx-module-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix“/> <hr/><div class=„af-blog-adv“> <p><a href=„https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjF7R1fz_OOXWHQhEVEI5Jqf18TQRr5Hu“>Check out all the Circuit Playground Episodes!</a> Our new kid’s show and <a href=„http://adafru.it/subscribe“>subscribe!</a></p> <p>Have an amazing project to share?
