Hi guys,
This may seem like a pretty easy question. I have a project I have been working on, and I wanted to add a fancy switch and led to it. The main circuit of it requires 12v and I have 8 AA batteries in it. When adding a led I chose a red 12v flashing led from Jaycar. When I soldered it in in series, I was only getting 6v to my main circuit, instead of 12v. So I thought " stupid me it needs to be in parallel."so I soldered the led in parallel, but when the switch is turned off, the flashing led flashes.
Any suggestions guys how to get 12v to the main circuit with the led working properly.
