Hey everyone, I have a very old pillar drill press from 1981 (Draper). It has a green on and red off button on the side. I wondered how I can take power from the drill press when the green/black button is pressed and turn it off when the red button is pressed?
Even better, how could I connect a three way switch so that I can turn it on and off manually, as well as having a position for automatic.
I'm really struggling to implement the design, I have mocked up the parts of the wiring in the hope someone can describe what else I need to do/include or can annotate the following image:
I have added a diagram for the button, including behaviour of pressing each part. The idea is pressing I will turn the light on constantly, pressing II will turn the light on when the motor is active and O will turn off the light completely regardless of motor state.
