How do you make a 0/7/12v switch with....

[Bboy_Jon]

Ok my deltas have 2 wires and then a 3 pin connector. So how do i make a 0v/7v/12v switch for it? I get the switch but how do i hook it all up. I also wanna hook up a bi color led (blue and white) so its blue at 12, white at 7 and off at 0v

so how do i hook this all up?

You want the 12v and 0v connected for 12v
The 12v and the 5v for 7v
The 5v and the 0v for 5v.

did u not read my post man?

i got a delta with 2 wires, red and black and they use a 2 pin, which i replaced with a 3 pin. Its a 120mm 130cfm delta so i think it would need 12 v so i dunno

how many legs does the switch need?

Don't get angry man, he was just helping.
It would be a lot easier if you just got an adaptor and did that.
The switch would need 4 legs i beleive, one for eaching setting you want.

yai have adapters, i was using them to connect them to my psu, sucks though cuz i went through the trouble of extending the wires and switching out the 2 pin connector with a 3 pin

but even so if i get a 3 to 4 pin adapter, im still only using teh 12v line and 1 ground, the 5 and the other ground wont be in use cuz i only have 2 wires

the red wire on the 3 pin IS the 12v correct?

[squasher]

Im not sure about that, but it will be a lot easier if you just get a 4 pin adaptor, then do it the normal way.

[Bboy_Jon]

even with an adapter it would only be using the 12v and the red

ok anyways, how many legs/leads does the switch need?

im going to be using a bi color led

do i just do this?

that doesnt turn the fan off though

The fan will be off if the switch is in the center position (assuming the switch has 3 postions).

[Bboy_Jon]

with that same schetmatic right?

[SB911]
