Hi, I have a project that I am stuck on and would be really happy if I
had a solution.
I have two machines that both have footswitch controls (just SP/ST switches, no circuits, both pedals are the same) with 1/4" jacks.
The main unit turns on when the pedal is pressed and off when it's
released. The second unit turns on when the pedal is pressed and only turns off when it's pressed a second time.
At present I have to use seperate foot pedals for the two machines (a hassel). What I want is an adjustable splitter that accepts one footswitch and has leads that plug into both units. I want both units to turn on together when the footswitch is pressed. When the pedal is released I want the main unit to stop and the second unit to stop after a variable time delay (from 1-10 seconds). Also, if the pedal is pressed again before the second unit has stopped, I want both units to be on and the second unit's off-delay restarted when the pedal is released.
I've played with some circuits and relays, but can't figure this out. The voltage on the pedals is low (<24).
I need help!
Anyone know a circuit that could be a solution to my problems?
