LED Position Indicator

So here is the gig.

I hooked everything up, but the draw was too much and it nulled out the chip. I removed my set up and everything works fine again. I think that the relay is drawing too much because they are the large mechanical type. I think I am going to try some smaller electronics in hope that I can get the draw down.

I will try and keep everyone informed and post the pics of the old setup.

Assuming the stock 6-position switch is a single pole six position switch, you could swap it out for a dual-pole six position switch which has two separate sets of six position contacts that are electrically separate. Wire up one set to the chip, the other to your LED's. The LED's will then follow the switch setting.

Personally, I want to find a six button interlocked switch where you press one of six individual buttons for the program you want, and it automatically disengages the previous switch.
