| Nov 13, 2022 at 21:14 | comment | added | Edenia | @Transistor Ah the light should stay until pressed again, for best results. To be honest now that I think of, it is not a huge restriction per se.. But push buttons and transistors sounds like something cheaper than Arduino, but also relatively simple so it is in the middle | |
| Nov 13, 2022 at 21:11 | comment | added | Transistor | @Edenia, was it LTSpice? You can try it on Tinkerkad using transistors. They just won't latch and the light will turn off when you release the button. | |
| Nov 13, 2022 at 19:42 | comment | added | Edenia | That looks promising! Something like that was in my mind too, unfortunately I cannot make a simulation in tinkerkad due to the lack of support for thyristors. There was a professional software that could do that and everything else, but I forgot its name | |
