I have started designing a basic cue light system for theater or TV use.
Basically what I want it to do is have 1 master station and 4 outstations. When a red button is pressed on the master station, the outstation lights up with the same colour. Then when I press the green button, the red light turns off, and a green one turns on. So far I have a working prototype with 2 buttons and 2 LED's, but when the green button is pressed I have no way of turning off the red LED.
The main issue is finding a way to stop the red LED from receiving power when the green button is pressed.
Both buttons are latching, and have their own 12v LED that is switched with them, both LED's are 12v also and connected in series via an audio/DMX cable(3pin) with pin 1 as green+, 2 as red+ and 3 as neutral.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you
