Title: Pro Race and button adapter wiring question
Post by: mr.w on June 02, 2013, 04:55:07 pm: I have received my Pro Race and from what I can see everything is working, but my question fals on the button adaptor and a safety toggle switch that I have, the switch is from ebay

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Flip-Safety-Cover-Blue-Led-Car-12v-Toggle-Switch-BS1-/170711139955?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27bf2d4673

my question is there a way to wire up the switch and have the LED work at the same time with the pro race, I believe the last time I tried to wire this switch up with a Leo board I fried a portion of the board.

I figured that much but I wanted to know in relation to the Pro Race/button adapter, is there 12volt on the board. Ideally I would like to be able to use this switch as a On/Off switch and have the light turn off and on. so as a basic toggle, but the switch itself requires voltage to power the light correct?

Post by: mr.w on June 04, 2013, 08:46:30 pm: OK so what I can understand is that I wire up the switch as I would a button and add a separate 12 volt source to the "+" terminal and have the ground from that 12 volt source ground elsewhere

In the relay i put 5v, 24v... because i don't know the voltage of pro-race. if works with 12v you don't need the relay.

Post by: mr.w on June 05, 2013, 03:25:29 am: boy I am getting in over my head i think, Sorry H.Guedes, that didnt help at all. cant figure out your scheme, I guess my question would be if I wire up my switch the way Jarden suggests with a separate power source for the light.

Post by: H.Guedes on June 05, 2013, 03:47:57 am: My scheme is pretty clear.
When you turn on the switch you put 12v out (A pin) and turn on the led. (for the led turn's on need 12v "probably a led and a resistor")

Like you said, you fried a part of the board because probably work's with 5v only and you put 12v on it.

Srry for bad english
