    Default Need some help looking for a type of switch.

    I am trying to locate a latching rotating switch. A simple, turn one way it's on and turn back it's off. Anybody heard of something like that? Or where I can find it?

    It might be easier to rig up a miniature slide switch like you might find on a toy with a disk cover that pushes the slider based on how you turn it.
    When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.

    The problem is with most rotary switches. You rotate the switch the same direction to turn it off or on. I am looking for something that's bi directional. I want to switch between single fire and full auto on a prop I have using a selector arm..

    Sounds like a fire selector for something like an AR your best bet for something that functions in that way may be to rig a selector on the outside that closes one of two small limit switches inside the prop depending upon which way it is oriented

    That's what I am going for.. I am using a Blaster Core V5.0 The way the Auto/Single fire works is either off or on.. (It does work with a simple latching switch). So It doesn't use two separate switches. This is for a fallout style plasma rifle so I am trying to stick with "analog" style switches..
