Hi All, New to the board, and new to electronics. I have done the basic make an LED light on a bread board, no real hardship there but here's what i'm after:
I have a prop gun (a 9mm 45. pistol) Its an airsoft pistol i've modded to look real.
Long and short i would like to have an LED inside the gun just underneath the chamber. Now i would like to use 10mm High Bright LED. I have it working off of 4 AAA batteries. I plan to use the original Battery plug in the gun as the power source hence the 4 AAA instead of a 9 volt.
I am using an 150 OHM resistor in sequence with the LED and it works perfectly.
The problem i'm running into is i need it to "Ease on" when a small button is pressed. now the button cannot be held either it needs to be pushed and ease on it self and stay on untl the button is pushed again.
It also needs to fit in the gun so the smaller the better.
I am a newbie so good break downs would be helpful.
Thank you in advance.
