I'm trying to put together a simple diorama for my son's school
project and may have bitten off more than I can chew... my electronics
knowledge is basically zip but was trying to make something a bit
special for him. What I'm trying to do is this:
In a cardboard box that the diorama is in we have 8 animal figures
that will each have a LED beside them and then on the front of the box
beside the viewing window I want to have 8 on/off buttons each
corresponding to a particular LED in the model so when the kids press
the button labeled say "T-Rex" the LED beside the figure in the box
will light up. Kinda like the scenes you'd see in a museum display.
I was going to use a 9v battery and I do know I'd need to insert a
resistor from the battery before the LED's but was wondering if anyone
could possible describe the simplest way of wiring it all up.
thanks so much in advance,
regards
