So how does that work if you have to "click" in order to "mouse click"?

IR Pens / What is Wrong With My Momentary Switch?
« on: April 26, 2008, 12:51:23 PM »
I have my homemade IR Pen hooked up like this:


Positive (AA battery}+--(resistor)-----(switch)----------(IR LED)-\
        |                                                                           |
Negative---  -----------------------------------------/

Everything works...kinda... my light is always on except when I push the momentary switch then ig goes off. What the heck did I do wrong?

I purchased this pen from Amazon also which already has an IR LED in it. The pen is VERY uncomfortable to use because the button is on the back. I think I feel Carpal Tunnel coming on!
