I would like start by saying I've visited this forum over time and it's helped me greatly. That said I am not quite a beginner but definitely have a lot more to learn.
My current project can be purchased on Amazon but it's not exactly what I want so I'm planning to make my own system.
The project uses a RFID system behind my dash bezel in my old truck to "activate" the push button start system.
The system will use a single standard momentary push button on the dash. It will have four "modes."
Mode 1: Accessory power
Mode 2: Accessory power + ignition/run
Mode 3: Ignition/run + start
Mode 4: System off (to include reset of RFID biased relay
So push once for acc and push again for ignition. But if you press the button a third time it will turn off the system. Only when the brake pedal is depressed will it activate the start mode. Which I would like to be able to do once I set my fob near the RFID reader. This way I can get in, place my key fob, depress brake pedal, and press and hold the push button to start the truck. At point of release from the start mode it would need to have acc and ign/run active at this point to keep the truck in a running state.
I have explored thoughts of using flip-flops, biasing relays, momentary relays, and still I haven't been able to get things straight in my head to function the way I would like.
The complete system is using 12v dc. I would like to stay away from microprocessor control and like the idea of a modern system in a vintage truck using analog controls to accomplish it.
Any and all advice is greatly appreciated
