Soft push button using latching switch
(1/2) > >>
jiko:
Hi,

I am planning to convert my wall switches to push buttons so I can use them in my smart-home system. I came across to EEVblog #262 - World's Simplest Soft Latching Power Switch Circuit, but I need to do the opposite. Is there a schematic that uses passive only components to convert a simple SPDT to a momentary push button?

Thank you for any input.


Edit: Every time the switch changes position an active high pulse of 3V and duration ~500 ms should be fired.
mikerj:
You need to describe how you want this to work, e.g. do you want a pulse of fixed duration every time the switch position is change changed, a pulse when moved to one position but not the other, do you want active low or active high pulse, what voltage etc..
sokoloff:
Why restrict yourself to passives only? That rules out a whole bunch of solutions that may be beneficial.

Sounds like a homework assignment.

Hi mikerj,
