Thanks for the help.
Its for a motor controller (someone elses), once the motor moves back the original position I want it to repeat (by pulling the strobe signal low). I have tried the attached circuit, the output signal works fine but when I connect it the strobe signal is stuck at about 14V. I am sure that the internal circuitry of the motor controller is charging the cap and will not go low.
Looking back now I see that I should swap the resistor and capacitor, so the strobe is tied to the resistor to ground?
With firewalkers solution: wouldn't the PNP transistor blow up since the cap is initially 0V, it would exceed the Veb of the normal PNPs?
TerminalJack505, will try this later, what simulation software are you using?
