VZ_342 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I’m in the process of making a generic cockpit and need an idea on how to make a real-world “Nose Wheel Steering On” caution light that will stay on as long as the NWS system is activated. Currently the NWS system is activated (SU-27) by pressing LtAlt + q, which is a “press once, it’s on, press again it’s off” operation. The momentary push button I’m using energizes a DPDT micro-relay (5v) briefly and it’s easy to simply add a second relay to activate the light...but the light will go off as soon as I release the button. My knowledge of solid-state devices is minimal, so if anyone has an idea how to keep the light on after activating (without using a separate switch, although that’s a possibility also) please keep instructions in simple and clear terms. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VZ_342 Posted June 27, 2018 Author Share Posted June 27, 2018 Looks like I’ll need a “latching relay” circuit, and will need a separate push button momentary switch to turn off the warning light relay. I’ll just place the “reset light” button next to the light itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
