Dec 22, 2022 at 22:56 | comment | added | Sophie Swett | @Hasman404 Ah, I didn't realize it was a limit switch. I was guessing that it was a toggle switch or something, where you could effectively turn it into a NC switch by turning it upside down. | |

Dec 22, 2022 at 17:35 | comment | added | Hasman404 | @Tanner-reinstateLGBTpeople thats a fair point you're right. I will adjust the resistor match whatever coil current is necessary. The switch i have is a NO limit switch so there are just 2 contacts. Are you thinking of a spdt? | |
Dec 22, 2022 at 17:33 | comment | added | Hasman404 | @winny What drives the relay? Do you mean the coil? The regulated zener voltage once the switch is closed. | |
Dec 22, 2022 at 14:35 | comment | added | Sophie Swett | Could you use a NO switch and just relabel which position is on and which position is off, thereby turning it into a NC switch? By the way, how much current does your relay need in order to operate? If it needs more than 2.8 mA, then that resistor will prevent it from working. You might need a much smaller resistor, like 100 ohms or something. | |

Dec 21, 2022 at 21:26 | comment | added | winny | Sure, but what drives the relay? Can you hook into that signal? | |
Dec 21, 2022 at 21:19 | comment | added | Hasman404 | @winny The signal is the switch being closed. Once a NO switch is closed, i'd like the RC- and RC+ to become 'open' and that would activate the charger. | |

Dec 21, 2022 at 17:11 | comment | added | winny | What's the signal used to turn it on in your application? Can you just bridge RC- and RC+ with a wire and let it run? | |
