Hi,
I have a tricky puzzle that I'm having a bit of a tough time figuring out and thought I would present it to you guys to see if there is someone here that is really good with logic. I've spent about an hour on this so far (mind you, it was very late, so my brain may have been scrambled).
I have a switch that has 3 positions and three terminals. In the middle position, the switch is open. The other two positions switch the middle (common) pin to connect with either of the two other pins. I am trying to create an override switch for an output that would be neutral in the middle position, ON in the top position and OFF in the bottom position or vice-versa. I am obviously using rules to accomplish this.
If I can figure out how to set it up so that it's shorted in the top position, closed in the bottom position and open in the middle, I should be able to get the output to behave the way I need it to. So far I have not been successful in arranging the switch positions the way I'd like them to be. The middle needs to be neutral because otherwise I will turn the output on or off as I adjust the switch to the neutral position.
Thanks for your help! Diagrams would be very helpful!
