Im looking to make a setup that 2 micro switches hook to & will alternate both of them?

Question

im looking to find an electronics solution to my current predicament-i am looking to get or make a setup that hooks to 2 microswitches (that used on paintball gun e triggers) & hook them both up to on switch that will activate them one by one and not in sync. (as in-when the main switch is pulled-it sends signal to switch one-then when the main switch is pulled again it sends signal to switch 2-and then with another pull it will activate switch one again)-so if you pull the switch 10 times-5 of the times switch 1 will be activated and 5 of them switch 2-but set one after another.

--------basically i want to hook 2 switches to one but when the switch is depressed not both will fire-they will alternate with each push of the main switch----

i know this probably isnt the best description but if you can help me id greatly appreciate it!

Answer 1

sounds like you are wanting a stepper switch. The company I use all the time is Digikey.com Great free tech support and they do have a web site. I would recommend calling them 1st and then looking up the part number they spec for you. This will ease your pain a bit and narrow your search down a couple hundred. There number is 1-800-digikey. If they don't have such a critter, it probably doesn't exist

Good luck
