Trying To Make A Circut, so that.... Options

[sk8ermike6789]

i want a circut, so that when i press a MOMENTARY switch once, a few leds will turn on, and when i press it again, they will turn off, n e one know how to do this??

[dank42]

just add the switch on the positive wire
thats what i did for one of my clear cases so i can have it light up
green or red
then i can change the hd activity from
blue to red

dam edit::::::
didnt read your post correctly
my switch isnt a moentary switch just a simple on/off my bad bro

I remember doing a circuit like that in Basic Digital Elec. It's called a JK Flip-Flop with J and K tied to positive. You'd need 4 nand gates if I remember,

2x3 input nand gates and 2 2 input nand gates.

search for J-K Flip-Flop. Both J and K inputs should be tied to positive, and the CLK to your switch.

I believe this could also be done using simple transistors, but I don't remember that far back.


Why would you want this though? an push button On-Off switch is much-much easier (and cheaper).


Edit:
This variation of the JK Flip-Flop is called a T Flip-Flop (for Toggle).
I found a sample structure:

The structure is :

disregard the term "Clock edge" since that will just be the signal from the momentary switch going from GND to Positive then back to GND

wow thats more complicated than i thought
