Hi There,
i have done some electronics work in the past, but i must admit it was all very hackish, (except for OBD2 LCD - Data Readout Tool - Digital Gauges - Home). Either way, i need to design a very simply circuit to switch some wires... here's the theory
I have a radio in my car. there are two devices (sirius radio and ipod unit) which use the same port on the head unit. they both can't be used at once. i want to design a simple circuity which will have both units connected to it, and at the flip of a switch change which unit is connected to the radio.
there are about 15 wires from each unit (same wires on both). So there is a lot of switching to be done, and obviously i would like to control this with one switch.
I'm not realyl sure where to start, i assume this would be done with some transistors.
Thanks for the help, and sorry for the probably very simplistic question,
Jordan
