Is it possible to get an input in Mame to trigger an ouput in LED-Wiz?
BadMouth:
I'll wire it back up to my computer tomorrow so I can test rather than relying on what I remember from a few months ago.
Nephasth:
According to your diagram, your diode is backwards. If you do have the proper 5v at the pin. Try wiring it up like the first example. If that doesn't work, move your SSR to the voltage side of the switch like in the second example.
Nephasth:
Also found this diagram, which would suggest wiring it up like example 2 in my previous post.
BadMouth:
Thanks. I'll try those. The diode is backwards because I don't know what I'm doing, which is one of the reasons I never finished it.
Would it make sense to have the switch ground both the relay and the button circuit, but with power coming from separate pins?:
That's all I got for tonight. I'll try and find time to hook it up tomorrow.
Thanks for the help. :cheers:
Nephasth:
I think doing that will complicate things. If wiring the diode up correctly doesn't change anything with the voltage drop, you've got high resistance somewhere, chances are in the switch. You shouldn't need to bring the additional 5v from a seperate pin, the voltage from pin 2 should be adequate (if there really is 5v there). If pin 2 isn't putting out 5v you might try putting in a DPST or SPDT leaf switch for the trigger, then you can pull the 5v for the relay off of a +5 VDC pin. That's the only way to control two ciruits of different voltages with one switch. If that's what it needs, changing a switch and adding a wire should be pretty easy. Personally I have a preference of mechanical relays over SSRs.
