Hello,
My circuit design experience is extremely limited, and I've done a ton of searching but can't seem to find what I am looking for.
Some background: I have a diesel generator that is started by tapping a momentary start/stop button, and stopped by the same action.
I am trying to control it remotely via my off grid inverter, however the inverter just puts out +12v while the generator is supposed to be running and then cuts voltage when it is supposed to stop.
I am trying to come up with a relay or circuit that will take a constant 12v and when it is applied make a momentary contact (to start the generator) and then when the voltage is disconnected it makes another momentary contact thus shutting down the generator.
Any advice or direction is much appreciated.
Thank you
