Pro Race and button adapter wiring question
« 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?

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

Hope i can help with this scheme.

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.

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.

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
