ok i have a question for you okr gurus. I want to make a vv out of this but i want to put a 3 way sliding switch it in and a display i want the switch to be up fireing, down atty off set voltage, and middle everything off is there a way to do this and if so can you show me a drawing of how i should wire it?

Not sure what "atty off set voltage" is (difference between B+ and reg output?). This uses SPDT (with center off) to show B+ vs regulator output (atty) voltage or display off.

It's also doing the Low Voltage cut-off thing and using a tiny switch thru a zener to the enable pin on the regulator instead of a big high amp horn switch. So, If you're not doing that then you'll have changes to the top left corner.

no the part number for the button is 529PB-ND i can see it fine but others cant see it through the link for some reason
what i would like to do with the switch is: when its in the up position the display and the 510 connector are both powered, when it is in the middle position i would like everything off and when it is in the lower position i would like the display and the okr unit to be powered in order to change the voltage setting without the 510 connector to be powered on

OK so this switch really doesn't need to connect to the display at all. Hard wire the display to the regulator output.

In the top position you want to connect Battery to regulator input and reg output to 510
In middle Battery is connected to nothing.
In bottom you wanna set your output voltage 'no-load' ... hmmm, so bottom connects battery to reg input but breaks reg output to 510.

Right? If so, This needs to be a high amp DPDT switch with center OFF then.

Battery and regulator output pin go to the two center lugs of the switch. One side of the switch will be battery and the other will be 510.

On top lugs (switch up) you wire from battery side of the switch to the regulator input pin and on the reg output side to the 510 center pin.

On bottom lugs (switch down) you wire from battery side of the switch to regulator input pin again (so you can just jumper from top lug to bottom lug) but don't wire the anything to the 510 side to leave it un-powered.

Now if I did this right the 510 is powered only in the up position but the regulator and display are on in both up and down positions.

Now one of the real 'knowledge guys', AZ_Java, Willy, somebody check that for me... this is off the top of my head w/o a pencil and I usually have to schematic everything to get it right.

To cut off power to the regulator also in the off position get a TPDT to give yourself another set of contacts for the battery feed.

DPDT = Dual pole Dual throw
TPDT = Triple pole Dual throw

Why will my wiring on the DPDT not work? IF I understood his requirements then the meter is on anytime the reg is on so no need to switch the meter.


PS: Anything ever come from that machined 510 connection u were building?

This is how I wire mine, gives me four readings Batt/static and load and atty/static and load. Center position meter off, I don't like the glare having it on all the time.

for the life of me i can find a dpdt with a momentary on , here is a on-off-on switch that would work though MS23BFW01 NKK Switches Slide Switches
Look for switches for flashlights. I bought one that was dual slide and mom pushbutton. My regular comp got a blue screen so I can't look up where right now.

He wants the switch to also fire the atomizer along with the voltage meter then in the down position to just fire up the Regulator and meter and leave the atomizer off. So it needs a certain kinda switch to do that.

Here is a quick schematic i made up excuse the gettoness of it

EDIT: Should point out i agree with Skip on this for using a DPDT switch as per what the poster asked for.

I also thought he would want a setting that the meter would be off. Made that mistake on my first meter installation and the cycling meter was very distracting and annoying flashing all the time. Also you are only getting out reading on the regulator to atty and not battery readings. Might as well get full use of the meter if you have it.

The meter is off in the off position of the switch. Just gave him what he asked for. Personally i wouldn't want a slide switch firing the atomizer , But each to there own.
