Hey everybody. I'm new here, and this is the first place on the internet I've come for help with this.
I'm trying to make a rather large switchbox because I've got a lot of electronics sitting behind my tv that I want to interconnect and such. So, here's a list of things
Output:
Input:
Additionals:
That's about all that I can think of...I'm hoping to make this all power-less switching, because that seems much easier to make for someone who knows diddly about circuitry. I just can't find a switch that can take 3 lines and route them to 3 lines. If you can tell me ANYTHING about this, please, please do ^^
This includes the basics, like how to ground etc. In the meanwhile I'm going to MS Paint schematics for the audio, since that doesn't seem as hard to pull off as the component video.
Thanks in advance
I'm trying to make a rather large switchbox because I've got a lot of electronics sitting behind my tv that I want to interconnect and such. So, here's a list of things
Output:
- Xbox 360
- ---Red, blue, green component cables
- ---L+R Audio
- ---Optical Audio
- PS2
- ---Component video
- ---L+R Audios
- Wii
- ---Component video
- ---L+R Audio
- PC
- ---VGA video
- ---L+R Audio
- ---Surround Sound audio (motherboard does all the channels. I think I may as well send this to the amp, but how? Optical?)
- ---Optical audio
Input:
- TV
- ---Component Video
- ---VGA video
- ---L+R Audio
- Monitor
- ---VGA
- Amp
- ---L+R
- ---Optical (I don't have an amp that does this YET, but I will...)
- Stereo headphones
- Other stereo device (my chair has speakers, sometimes I use it)
Additionals:
- Power switch to unplug EVERYTHING from the wall. Want to put this between the power strip(s) and the walljack, use it as a way to turn everything off and save power because of those "always on" devices, or for other purposes as of yet undecided
- Two headphone jacks so that no matter the audio destination is, people would be able to plug their headphones in and listen in to what's going on
- USB jacks that go to my computer and direct to a power outlet so that people can charge their stuff, or not have to crawl behind my tower to plug stuff in
- Power and Reset buttons for my tower
