Hi all. Please check the attached & let me know if I'm on the correct path.
I want to add a fuse status monitor to the ATX power supply panel I'm putting together (the BrakeFlashPulser Circuit is on hold while I get my test equipment built ).
I've spent many days reading about transistor switches, researching the web, etc. I know there are very simple ones out there, but I have a bad feeling about connecting across the fuse.
My thought is that the Green Led is lit as long as current is flowing thru the fuse & the transistor is cut-off by the same supply: when the fuse blows, the Green LED goes off & the PNP goes saturated by the 5V supply, turning on the Red LED.
Am I even close?
