LED control idea
cholin:
How exactly would you do that? My idea was just to use one switch with 2-3 selections. Mine would just be simple wiring, and one switch.
Is there any way you could perhaps make a schematic or something simple?
ShinAce:
How are you going to wire up the led's for the 'game' function?
cholin:
I was going to connect them directly to the mircoswitches. For a switch to activate, you press the button right? So I will wire them to the button so when it's pressed, a circuit is complete, therefore, a LED will be lit.

I could be wrong, but I don't think microswitches draw enough juice to power an LED (20 milliamps or so are needed) You're planning on wiring an LED in parallel with the microswitch, right?
Seems like the "flash" would be too brief to see very well. But if you try it, please post the results.
cholin:
Well I can't really try right now because Im in the planning stage, but using transistors or something, Ill draw the actual power from a 12v computer connector. When a signal is passed through the microswitch, it will allow the 12v to pass to the LED. Gonna be one hell of a circuit! Either way, cant try now because 1) Im still planning 2) I dont have parts until I plan and get cash 3) I dont have a job because im still in highschool :)
