Hi
I recently made a circuit, ran into a problem. It's not huge, the circuit still runs well but I would prefer to iron it out.
Basically, I have a key switch, + voltage goes to a panel mount Voltmeter and the - from the voltmeter goes to a Green LED. The - connection of the Green LED goes to the middle connection ( for voltage) on the Rotary switch.
2 connections are used on the Rotary, No1 connection runs straight to ground (- wire).
No2 connection runs to Small Toggle Switch which goes to the + of a Red LED. The - from the LED connects to my - wire from the Rotary switch.
(I am sorry I cannot provide images, apparently by images are too large for the server to handle, if you have any suggestions as to where I can dump the images for you to see, please tell me and I will get right onto it!!)
Now this is my problem:
I turn the key switch on, Rotary is in the No1 connection, Green LED is LIT.
Move Rotary to the Right to No2 connection and the Green LED Turns off until I throw the Small Toggle on to turn on the Red LED. Also at this stage, my Voltmeter is not reading any voltage.
Please can anyone tell me how I can Re-Wire my circuit so that the Green LED is on before I can turn on the Toggle switch and how I can rewire it to gr my voltmeter to shoe voltage whether its at No1 or 2 connection.
Thanks.
