Title: How do I Illuminate a panel switch title.
Post by: chelseaboy on April 24, 2014, 02:10:10 AM
Does anyone know of a tutorial on how to illuminate a switch panel title.
I.E. when I throw the switch, the ON title would light up.

Can you show us the switch?  Light specs are important

Are you using any type of Interface card?

I have a leo bodnar BU0836X card and plan to use a basic on-off toggle switch.
Not sure on the light specs. I tend to review a number of different ways of making a panel then teach myself how to do it.
Might go down the led route, having just purchased an electronic breadboard.
Ps thanks for the fast response.

Hi Daren
i would look at going down the double pole road with the toggle switch,
one side to switch the card for emulated input to the pc
and the other set of contacts to switch a separate circuit for a basic led with resistor circuit powerd seperatley

can do you a wiring diagram if required

have fun

Hi,
If all you want to do is light a Led when switch is closed just wire according to attached
file.
