getting there

[747sim]

Slowly getting done with my panel but I need to know how to wire a toggle switch, and a rocker switch. I have several drawings but each one is different, they will be used for lights just incase that is important

Hi there,

The two tabs on a toggle switch are usually just make and break, (open or closed depending where the toggle is). The centre pin on a rocker switch is usually the common and the switch will make contact with an outer pin depending where the rocker is.

Pretty soon you'll be wanting a multimeter - pop down to your local radio shack and grab a cheap digital type. Put it into continuity testing mode, pop the probes onto your switch terminals and when the switch is in the right position to make a contact, you'll hear a beep. Once you get past a certain point with pitbuilding you really need a multimeter.

Or a couple.

ok but how do I wire it, I have no idea which contact is supposed to be wired to the interface, any diagrams?

Hi everyone again..

I've had this idea of building an instrument,which mite be difficult for me....

The instrument I want to build is from the 747-100 model..

It's the Delco Carousel IV-A Inertial Navigation System like the one in the concorde and the 747-100 or 200 model I think.Because i've always been fascinated in building things especially,after seeing and reading about all these incredibly smart people outhere designing some very hard instruments.good on use.

I so want to make this unit badly,but know idea how and where to get tech specs and manual for it and can it be done for FS9 /FSX simulation Software?

I hope someone outhere has any idea on the design of this unit..Please write back ASAP.

best off luck...to everyone in the prosperity .

already replied to your thread about this matter, the book has everything in it, from diagrams, Electronic schematics, PIC code, and a step by step documentation. Really, you need this book

does anybody have any wiring guides for toggle switches I'm trying to get it done today but i have no idea how to?
