Need Help Wiring Battery to Switch with Buzzer and Light
Posted: Sun Apr 05, 2009 2:15 pm
Trying to wire from Battery holder to a switch to control a buzzer and a light. 6th grade science project - cardboard lighthouse.
Hello and welcome to the forums!
I did a little searching, and here is a pdf file with a simple wiring diagram for a lighthouse: http://www.google.com/url?sa=U&start=4& ... 4_2ChJ4aeQ I hope that works - I searched for "cardboard lighthouse".
I don't have a wiring diagram editor on the computer I'm currently using, but if you need more help, I'll try to upload one later today.
Essentially, take one wire from the battery holder and connect it to one terminal of the switch. The other switch terminal goes to what you want to control. If the voltage requirements of the light and buzzer are the same and match the battery output, connect one terminal on the buzzer and the light together and connect to the switch output wire. Then connect the other two terminals of the light and buzzer together and wire them to the unused battery holder wire.
Let us know how it works out. You might upload a diagram or picture of what you've tried so far. Thanks!
