zaceek Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Hey guys,I'm a newbie to this site. Been looking around and I think I've hit the jackpot! There is a wealth of community information here and I hope you lot can help me.I've been working on a lighting control system for my living room at home. I have a bunch of different lights linked to relays. I want to control them with momentary switches which "load" a preset for mood/ambiance, ie, "The Old Barry White" Setting and "Dinner and a Movie" setting etc etc....This is a diagram of the problem I'm having:Each Output from Component X goes to a different combination of relays via dip switches with diodes to stop feedback switching.I initially thought of using D-Type flip-flops as component X but it doesn't seem to want to work.Any help/advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated!!!SincerelyZac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Tsekenis Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Yes, this is the job for a Data type flip flop but you can wire other flip-flops to do that as well. Anyway, your thinking is right, you have probably made a mistake with your hardware. Can you post a schematic of how you would wire your D-flip flop? Whats V+?
