Looks cool. Be gentle with that circuit board.

Looks nice.

Yeah that why things are more difficult and i went with the smallest switch i could find. Basically i'm just gonna solder the wires on at a right angle with a little heat shrink tube so nothing comes in contact with the circuit board. Its a tight fit but if it doesn't work....well...on to plan B.

Technically speaking, that's not "Ohm's Law". That's actually Joule's law with Ohm's law substituted into it.

Ohm's Law is I=V/R

SUCCESS!!!

I'm pretty sure it was my spotty solder job on the first switch.

Took my time on the new SPST switch and soldered my wires on at 90 degree angle. Tested it before installing and all worked. All is reinstalled and works great. That was fun working in the garage when its 102 outside.

Thanks to everyone that threw some help and advice my way. Just feels good to create something custom and clean!

Hey! It's my old nemesis "RednDrool". Still attempting to practice your "Electrical Engineering" skills I see. Well keep at it grasshopper. And one day you too may become a Sensei

Rednroll

Yep, I can only dream of becoming a self proclaimed Sensei like yourself, who suggests using a Triac, which is an AC component in DC switching applications and who tries to make himself sound smart by saying "use OHM's Law" and is actually describing Joule's Law. At least, give credit to the correct scientist. That's the difference between someone who is actually an Electrical Engineer with an education and some electronics hack like yourself. We actually know what we're talking about.

Actually ohms law is E=IxR. Electrical engineer would know you dont use v for volts it E For electromagnetic force which is the correct term for voltage.
Just saying if you are gonna correct someone at least be correct yourself.

hey!!!! one of my threads is getting interesting!
