Re: Help with simple circuit

You actually have four functions that are necessary:

Off
Nav Light On
Strobe On
Nav Light and Strobe On.


Think about it.

Off is obvious

Nav Light On when flying in darkness in cloud. Strobes induce vertigo when
you are in IMC, but the nav lights by law have to be on at night.

Strobe On would be daytime use when you want to be seen but not keep a $5
lamp burning for no good reason.

Nav Light and Strobe On for VMC at night when you need not only nav lights,
but to be seen at a distance as well.

NOW the problem complexes itself up, but shouldn't be a problem with a few
well chosen capacitors and a simple counter.
