    Bistable Multivibrator

    Hi All, After a long hiatus (this project got put on the back burner as I was getting frustrated as to what to do next) I've decided to continue trying to get this circuit to work as I want it to. Per Harald Kapp's recommendation, I put an x2 capacitor (2.2nf) across the contactor coil (one leg...

    Bistable Multivibrator

    Hi All, Thank you for the replies. I was messing around again with the circuit last night and I had removed the power feed to the electrical contactor I'm using post remote switch. (I'm using the remote switched relay to power a high-current electrical contactor). When I removed the power...

    Bistable Multivibrator

    Hi Folks, Newbie electronics geek here. I've been slowly dabbling with micro-electronics and decided I wanted to attempt to build a single switch/multi-location on-off controller for the air compressor in my garage. Perhaps a bit overkill, but that's me! In order to make this work the way I...

    Newbie - Need some help w/ switching relays

    Well there's an entire control system Volkswagen uses to control the windows which is why my use of the factory switch is going to require unconventional wiring. I was hoping to utilize the factory switch not just for the aesthetics and ease of replacement as well if it breaks down the road. The...

    Newbie - Need some help w/ switching relays

    I had thought about removing the resistors and doing it that way however the resistor is an internal pathway inside the actual switch. I will have no way to tap a wire into there and through the harness. There just isn't room in the switch body to get a wire through without ruining the integrity...

    Newbie - Need some help w/ switching relays

    Hi Everyone. It's nice to be here. I'm attaching a quickie schematic I had drawn up. The switch schematic you will see is the internals of the VW switch. Unfortunately the center contacts (shown in green and cyan/blue) of the switch are what I am referring to the inputs and are common across...

    Newbie - Need some help w/ switching relays

    Hi Folks, I'm Albe, a noob to the forum and sort of new to the world of electronics. I'm familiar with the basics of the basic components, wiring, schematics and soldering. I've done work in the electrical field and overall a jack of all trades; master of some. I'm having some trouble...
