Re: power on delay using a 555 chip

Chris,

The interesting part is that when i connected the output of the power
supply (using microchip's design) via a 3K9/2W resistor to the gate of
the triac (bypassing the 555 altogether) it worked perfectly. Is it
that i should have connected some resistance in series (say 820ohms)
with the output from the 555 before applying it to the triac?
