I just made this circuit up. It has no purpose at all. Just made it to learn about zener diodes
Is a zener diode (all 4 of them) good in this circuit. I have 4 push buttons that I would like to light just a simple led up that corresponds with that push button. It seems to be working ok, but I cannot get the LEDS to be completely "off" or when I hit some buttons, some LEDS come on half way. Im assuming it has to do with the value of the Zeners I am using. I am using 1n5233 Zener for all of them. Im assumming those values are wrong.
But what I would like to happen is that the LEDS are completely off, and then when I push switches 1, 2, 3, 4 only that LED lights.
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks Guys
Mike
