Hi everyone, I'm hoping I can elicit some EE help :)

I'm planning on using the Constant to Momentary circuit listed on this site to fire up a computer I have hooked to my switched 12v source.  This would work perfect as is, but through much frustration I figured out that my inverter needs about a second or two to warm up before outputting.

So I'm using this design right now...

with the momentary 12v output leading to a relay that shorts my "On" button for my computer.

So my question is this: what would I need to do to delay that momentary output from happening for 1-2 seconds?

Awesome!  I'll give it a whirl... by the way, do you know which values I have to change in order to change the delay timing?

actually, do you know where I can get a MPSU-10?  I've been having trouble locating one or an equivalent.

cool, I think I'll use the 555 monostable circuit 'cause I'll be able to get all the parts from the ratshack :)

but real quick, I'm assuming that that diode is a standard 1N4001 & that round thing is the "motor"(ie, what I'm supplying power to)?

oh, and would I be able to use a .01uF cap instead of that 10nF one?

sorry, I forgot to ask before, what's the difference in the letter prefix of the timer chip?

radioshack has the TLC555 and the LM555, are these ok instead of the UA555?

I'd prefer to buy locally just cause its a little quicker, thanx!

micro 10-6 0.000 001

nano- 10-9      0.000 000 001
pico- 10-12     0.000 000 000 001
.01 microfarads x 1000 = 10 nanofarads
  10 nanofarads x 1000 = 10,000 picoFarads
so your answer is the Capacitor .01 is 1000 times too big.

The Timer IC is the same IC but Different Manufactures have their own Prefix at the beginning.

And the Diode 1n4001 or 1n4002 0r 1n916 it really doesn't matter which one it just protects the IC from spikes.
