I want to mod a electronic button. I need it to pulse power to it.. forcing it to go on and off fast. any help?

I can use any tool you need for this… I know a bit about electronics… I just dont know what you need or what thecircuit is for this… any help would be soo greatly appreiciated

A "momentary action switch" may suit your purpose.

PS, LeAnne has some options too. Really fast "pulse power" may require more sophisticated electronics. Measure the pulse width in milliseconds or even nanoseconds for some applications.

Mechanical – use a common relay wired up like a door bell – it will click on and off very fast – you can slow it down with an rc circuit.
Solid state – use a 555 chip to pulsate the output.
