Re: Maybe a dumb question
Thanks for the replies. I want to make sure I understand. I want to put an LED into a circuit that is a passive circuit with a potentiometer and a dpdt pushbutton switch. Currently, the circuit simply goes throuugh the switch, with one route as a bypass for the signal, and the other through the potentiometer. I would like to add an LED so that when the signal goes through the potentiometer, the LED would light and when it goes through the bypass side, it would turn off. Can I put the LED in series with the pot and have it light? It doesn't have to be bright. I just want a visual signal to know when it's on and when it's off, and I'd rather not have to add additional power to the circuit.
Thanks again.
