I am extensively upgrading a 4 I have had and flown for years and have a particular thing I am wanting to accomplish, but unsure of the method. I am familiar with basic relays and wiring, but I am not an electronics whiz!
I have a homebrew smoke system that I previously operated via a toggle on the panel. I am now installing a Mac stick grip and have one button unused. I would like to utilize the single normally open momentary contact button to both turn on and turn off my smoke pump. I understand a relay and toggle, and assume there is probably a "latching" relay that I could use with the momentary contact of the switch to turn on the pump...but how can I do this to also turn the pump back off with a momentary contact push of the same button??
I would appreciate any ideas/advice from the experts!!!
Thanks,
Charles
