Alright, I'm going to try and take this a step further. I thought that seeing as how I'm using the CAPS and NUM LED's anyway, I might as well make up a modified LED board from Oscar's LED Driver Board diagram. The only problem is, I'm still electronically challenged. Here's a drawing of what I've got so far. The idea is that when the IPac sends the Scroll Lock signal, the relay sends 12V. I was about to finish this diagram when I had a major brain-fart. Where does the 5V go after it passes through the relay? And does the rest of this diagram make sense to anyone? Edit: I shot the 5V out of the relay into an LED just for the hell of it (kind of makes sense in my tiny brain) |

I put this thing together last night- only problem is, I'm a little worried that I wired the relay completely arse-ways so I don't want to test it out until someone says it looks right. Can anyone confirm that the above diagram should work? There was a wiring diagram on the reed relay's package, but it didn't make any sense to me; so I'm a little worried that I might have the 5V going into the relay where the 12V should be and vise versa :'( |
