jcbenson12 Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 Hello all! I am brand new to electronics and have been learning on the fly. I am hoping to take advantage of some of your knowledge to help me figure out how to design a circuit for this project. The circuit will have 3 -12 volt LEDs, a 5 volt fan, and a switch. This will all be powered by a 9 volt battery. I plan to wire the fan and the 3 LEDs in parallel. The switch is really throwing me off, however. I've included an image of the instructions for the switch for reference, but I am not sure how to set it up so that when engaged the fan and all three LEDs come on. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bidrohini Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 The LEDs are 12V LEDs, right? If you use a 9V battery, I think the LEDs will not turn on properly. You may just see a faint glow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcbenson12 Posted February 22 Author Report Share Posted February 22 Thank you. I may switch out the LEDs to something requiring less voltage. Although if it just means they might not be as bright, I may stick with them as I only want a dim light on this project anyway. Thank you for your insight. Wiring the switch into the circuit is what I am mainly having stuggles with. Any suggestions there? I figured out how to wire it up when in series, but parallel is throwing me off.

jcbenson12 Posted February 23 Author Report Share Posted February 23 Harry, my friend... YOU... ARE... MY... HERO. That is exactly what I was looking for. I need to practice this stuff so I can do that on my own. It seems so simple when I see your rendering, but I was stumped on it. Thank you.
