New to the group and relatively new to electronic circuits, so please be kind!.
I purchased 50 bistable DPDT latching relays for use with my model railroad the other day. They are to be used as a latching power switch to activate a 12v stall motor which in turn drives the points/turnouts. The circuit digram called for a 10 pin relay (two pairs of pins power the two coils). What arrived [from China] is an 8 pin-- the two coils share the same pins.My fault for not inspecting the product diagram.
Attached is the circuit diagram -- is there a simple way to still use these relays?
Or should I abandon the project and go back to using a DPDT toggle switch (on- on) The whole idea was to just use a simple push switch to toggle the motor one way and then the other, and the LED indicates the route!
