Hey guys -
Im back and working on a new project! Im building on of the most useless machines ever! (http://www.instructables.com/id/The-Most-Useless-Machine/)
I went to my surplus electronics dealer and purchased two 3-terminal microswitches (bought 2 just in case one didnt work). Im trying to test each part individually before I wire the circuit together. Im having a bit of trouble with the micro switches however.
Ive attached an image of what I have setup with my power supply and breadboard, however the when the 3 terminal micro switch is in the mix, it simply doesnt work. Do I need to have all 3 terminals wired to get the switch to work? I was hoping the the terminal would work with just 2 terms. wire up (being in either on or off mode and the button switching it).
Thanks for any tips!
