Question about cutting off a switch output...


Recommended Posts

Posted

I'm putting together a simpit roughly based on the SU-25. I'm using a salvaged keyboard's matrix and a lot of momentary switches.

 

However, I want a way to use regular on-off toggles, not momentary switches. I need this mainly to control a pair of relays to activate (for example) Left Control + Space ("LC+Sp"). A momentary toggle works great, but I'd like to be able to use the rotary switches on the weapons panel as designed, not as a rotary momentary.

 

I do recall an Arduino that does this sort of thing--a toggle switch applies a voltage to a pin, and the output of the Arduino sends a pulse to activate (insert whatever here).

 

I understand simpler electronic stuff (relays, switches, resistors, LEDs etc) and will be using the simpit as a learning device...but in the meantime, can anyone help with the Arduino question?

 

Thank you!
