I'm a physics major so I should be able to figure this out... but electricity was never my best subject... I'm more of a kinematics guy. Anyways, the project below is something I'm working on with a friend and can't seem to figure out
The circuit needs to have 5 switches, each connected to a light, presumably LED. It can have any number of batteries, relays, gates or anything else, as long as it does the following. When the first 4 switches are thrown, their respective lights turn on. But the 5th switch (whichever of the 5 it happens to be) is thrown, that light does not turn on. More or less, it's a way to determine which operator had the slowest reaction time... kind of. I've played with gates and circuit boards and I just can't figure it out. Ideas?
Thanks.
