Before I begin, I think it is important to know, I can read a schematic and solder proficiently, and I haven't studied electronics or built a circuit since '98. That being said here's what I'm tying to do.
I'd like to build a circuit that switches a load on/off dependent on the current being drawn by that load. Here's the practical application. I have a DC computer charger in my truck (hardwired) that draws on the system even when the computer is not being charged. I'd like to have a circuit that will disable power to the charger unless a load above x amps is being applied.
I believe this is an easy circuite to build, maybe only a couple of components, but I have no idea where to begin... I should have paid more attention in electronics class in HS
