Hello,

I'm hoping someone here can give me some assistance with this.
Here's what I need to do:

I need to replace a momentary switch with a toggle switch, but keep the momentary functionality. Basically, using an on/off toggle switch, when the switch is flicked to ON it will act, and then when the switch is flicked back to OFF it will act again. Essentially the circuit is open at all times except for briefly when the switch is flicked either way.

The reason why I want to do this is because the current momentary switch is being used in an application where there's a lot of vibration, which makes effectively using the momentary button difficult. I want to replace the button with a big toggle switch that's easy to work with, but I can't change the "destination" of the signal from the switch which is looking for a momentary blip.

Any suggestions on how I could build this?

Seems to me that a momentry toggle switch is what you are describing.
If you need it to operate "up AND down" momentry then a double throw momentry action with the outputs joined together.
