One pushbutton I want to hook it up to a powered device so everytime i press the pushbutton the electrical device operates, but i also want to hook it up to my ipac so that a button is activated on the ipac when the button is pushed........... can this be done so as not to damage the ipac with the electrical current driving the device

Ed_McCarron:

Depends.  The ipac needs to see a signal go to ground to turn its input on.  Perhaps use a small reed relay -- you could even use blocking diodes to prevent any backfeed -- and let that trigger your device?

they share difference grounds the device and the ipac      


Ed_McCarron:

Outlet?  As in 120v?  No.  No.  No.  No.

do not try that. as much as I'd love to see you fry everything I fear you might get killed, and while that wouldnt impact me much you're family may infact miss you.
