 |
|
Hi All (again),
I am trying to integrate a single rheostat for use with both the RockRack switch LEDs and the Dynon Skyview. In other words I want to have the single rheostat dim both the RockRack indicator LEDs and the Dynon brightness with a turn of a single knob.
The Rheostat I bought is a bit confusing. I thought it would only have only two wires (one in-ey and one out-ey) and I would simply connect the in-ey wire to a fused 12 VDC source and then connect the out-ey to both the Dynon and the RockRack LED input spade.
This rheostat however has THREE wires.
The instructions have a “Simplified Hookup” but it states that this hookup is for “Incandescent Lamps Only”. Is there a reason why I could not use that hookup for the RockRack LEDs?
(Attached is a PDF of the instructions for the Rheostat)
OTHER INFORMATION:
The RockRack have an LED that illuminates when the switch is placed in the ON position. The voltage source for this LED can either be the output voltage of the switch itself (example: Turn the landing light ON and the power that goes out to the landing light is also tapped off to provide the power for the LED in the switch) or a rheostat with a controlled voltage can be used as the source of power for the LEDs to make them dimmable.
I have the Dynon part figured out…it has a “pin 25” that is a pin that looks for a source signal voltage and when it sees a certain voltage, the screens will dim to a user programmable brightness (example: If pin 25 sees 14 VDC then the screens will go to 100 percent brightness and if they see 7 VDC then they will dim to 50 percent).
I do not have the schematic for the RockRack switches so I will have to multimeter the spade connectors to see how to wire them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
..
Cheers!!!
