Afternoon All,
Ive just purchased the following items for my STE:
Item 0010 Toggle Switch
0048 STE Dual TOS 1.62/2.06 Switcher kit along with the rom
The switcher board has a jumper for changing TOS versions, the board has 2 solder points named GND and SEL.
The toggle switch has 3 legs; lables above each leg are:
Left leg : ON 6A, Middle Leg : 125, Right Leg ON AC.
Which legs on the toggle switch do I connect to GND and SEL on the switcher board ?
I'm assuming that one of the legs on the toggle switch wont connect to anything and is not needed.
Thanks
Toggle Switch

Re: Toggle Switch
Thank you.
Does it matter which leg goes to GND or SEL on the switcher ?

Re: Toggle Switch
Think of the switch as a jumper, when it's on then its like having a jumper fitted, when it's off its like no jumper is fitted.
In reality you only need a 2 position switch that is off/on to make this work.

Re: Toggle Switch
Thank you, that is what I thought but always worth checking...
Using the same theory then, it does not matter which leg of the switch goes to GRN or SEL on the switcher board ?
Given it does not matter which way round the sleeve goes on the jump pins as it just connecting the circuit.

Re: Toggle Switch
As long as you use a middle pin for GND or SEL, then neither side of the switch can go to the other wire...
