Posted - Nov 21 2011 : 6:50:31 PM Hi all. I have been trying to figure out a time delay using a 4011 IC using the equation supplied on this site with the circuit also. When using the equation R1*C1*0.85=T for a 20 second Time and 5K Ohm pot as R1 I am getting 4.7pF but it is not working. Can someone please double check my calcs for the value of C1. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers
