How to Use an Electronic Timer:

Each year, utility bills seem to increase to the point that you have to consider adding "rising utility bills" to the other two inevitable in life--death and taxes. Even with the invention of such money-savers as florescent light bulbs and energy efficient appliances, that monthly bill always seems to be more than the year before. When it comes to trying to conserve energy, there is only one sure-fire way to cut costs--turn everything off. The only problem with that is remembering to do it. Luckily, technology has your back. To help you conserve energy, here is how to use an electronic timer.

• Step One: An electronic timer works similar to the way a programmable thermostat works. The difference is that the timer is turning an electric device, like a lamp, on or off rather than the central air-conditioner. Your first step in using the electronic timer is to set the timer to the current time
• Step Two: Once the current time is displayed, you should then press the button labeled, "program."
• Step Three: Usually, the first program to pop up is the one designated for turning the circuit on. Input the time that you want the circuit to be energized. When you enter the time, be sure to specify AM or PM. Refer to the manual to see which button to press to move to the next step. It is usually the "program" button but each timer is different
• Step Four: The next step is to set the time for the circuit to turn off. Input the time that you wish for the circuit to be turned off
• Step Five: Some electronic timers are more elaborate and give you the option of multiple settings, so in essence, you can have a lamp turn on and off a few times during the evening to give the illusion that someone is home

How to Make an Electronic Countdown Timer

• Having an electronic countdown timer on your desktop can be a convenient way to keep track of big events. Whether you want to know how long it is until the weekend or until your wedding day, a countdown timer is your constant reminder. You can make an electronic countdown timer using simple programming software. And with just a bit of patience, you'll be counting down the days, hours, minutes and seconds.
• Start your copy of Visual Basic and make a new document. Click "New Project..." on the menu found to the left of your screen. Select "Windows Forms Application" and click "OK" to finish set up.
• Double-click "Button" from the "Toolbox" window. This will insert a new button (Button1) into your project window. With your mouse, adjust its position and placement if needed.
• Double-click on "Timer" from the "Toolbox." This will insert your timer control to the work space. Adjust the placement if needed.
• Double-click the "Label" tool from the "Toolbox" window. This will insert a display window that will be used by your timer. Adjust the position if needed.
• Double-click on "Button1." This will open its "form1.vb" module. Find and select the input field for "Button1_Click." You will input the coding to control the timer's interval and countdown. Set it to one-second intervals from the base time of 15 minutes.
• Click on the tab named "Form1vb [Design]" found near the bottom of the window of "Timer" control. Under "Timer1_Tick," select the input field. Add the code that will check if the countdown is finished and display how long it has left in the countdown display you added in Step 4
• Return back to the main project window and save the file. Click on the F5 key found on your keyboard to activate the code. Use your mouse to click on "Button1" to start the countdown
