I missed Sunday school snacks  Over slept to make it to the service in time,I am going to try to make it to tonight's service my phone is getting blowed up wondering where I am!

[mikel7829 90]

Anyone have any recommendations for diodes?

I want to provide a switch to power my carputer but not fire up the rest of the car. Figure if I directionally isolate the incoming power that is off the ignition then I can just add a direct switched wire to the battery.

I know I can just buy a diode off Amazon and wire it in, but thought maybe there was a prettier solution from a wiring perspective.

[Tirefryr 1,742]

So you want to switch it on/off via the ignition switch?

[///M5 2,833]

That is how it switches on now. Sucks for troubleshooting since I have to start the car or put it on accessory. I'd like a switch I can just flip to turn it on, but don't want to power the whole accessory power chain in the car.

[Tirefryr 1,742]

I see now.  You don't want it to backfeed.   Any diode that can handle the current should work.  Personally, I'd find a small switch with a set of NO,and NC contacts,so when you switch it, it open the circuit which elimnates the need for a diode and assures the circuit is open.

Ok, now I feel stupid. Nice. That eliminates me accidentally keeping it on too.

[///M5 2,833]

Any SPDT ought to work, I hadn't thought about using it backwards lol.

[Tirefryr 1,742]

Yep, that'll work too.

How are you going to connect it. I can't put together how you can eliminate accidentally keeping it on.

[///M5 2,833]

If I use a SPDT switch then the computer will either be powered on 100% of the time or by the retained accessory power. The only time I'll use the switch is when the car is off. This way to shut it off I have to throw the switch so it'll go back to the RAP power.

It is just the "remote" on I am toggling, not the actual power. That is connected 100% of the time.

Sean this is the only picture I was sent from the steam show. This is my pap who is 97 years young on his tractor and my uncle behind him. I hope when I am 97 I can do what he does.

 

[///M5 2,833]

Walking at 97 would be great.

We just buried my Great Aunt this week. She was more of a grandma than an Aunt. Made it to 102 though which is nutso. At 97 she also was mobile. Still mowed her own lawn at that point.

We miss you Audre!

Sorry to hear that, but to live to that age would be awesome. Just imagine what she has seen.

Pap gets around good and still drives. Believe it or not before he started shrinking he was 6'11" and had to duck walking through normal doors.

[///M5 2,833]

6'11 and alive at 97? Nice, i have hope!

Bring on the 49'ers
