Look audioguru, I'm not meaning to sound rude or condescending because I don't have a leg to stand on, but do you know what I want this circuit to do? How would you propose I set it up if you think this is the wrong way to go about it?
Just to make sure, the reason I'm using a transistor to short its power source to ground when the inverted circuit is selected (therefore removing it's power source because that circuit feeds the LED's power. And its power source is removed in the presence of a low charge from the base pin), is because I want that circuit to go off when the circuit that is connected to it's base goes on. So as the main controlling circuit fades out via an LED controller, the other fades in. Also the reason there seems to be 2 outputs from each dpdt which go to ground, is because one isn't ground. The way the LED controller works, you just put the ground wires from any circuit of LEDs you want to control to a point on the chip, which in turn connects to ground. Now if I'm having a circuit which is inverted by the circuit connected to the controller, I'm pretty sure (along with the admins from a forum that made this chip, though strangely they haven't had to think of this use before) that it would mess with the operation of the inverted circuit. So one ground point is actually a mosfet led controller (the gnd point that all 3 circuits are connected too). I'm using an npn transistor to remove the power supply from the LED's by shunting it to ground before it touches the LEDS (removing its source just like you said). Also I believe if you have a 12v source flowing straight into a low power npn transistor the only result will be a lot of smoke (hence the 80ohms resistor). It's essentially 3 separate circuits 1 controlled by the chip, connected to all the sets of LEDs, and 2 circuits for each of the secondary sets, which are directly controlled by the first through an inverter. And the dpdt switches the power source and ground points together. Without complicated mosfet controllers which is overkill for this circuit (and I wouldn't know how to set them up) I can't see any other simple way of doing it with any less parts. If you have any problems or dislikes of the way I'm doing it, or can simplify it to use less parts then please offer a constructive design or an idea to replace it with. But it seems to be doing exactly what I want in a circuit simulator.... every part has a function.So what's the problem?
