My intent is to use an Apem IPR1 series pushbutton connected to a relay. A SoundOff 5" rectangle 1400 lumen LED floodlight will be driven by the relay. A button palen for labelling the button will be ordered from Front Panel Express.

Diary

• August 3, 2010
  
  • I still need to order some wire, and some resistors for the LEDs in the pushbuttons. I'd prefer wire that's good for at least 105C, if not higher.

    The relays, relay bases and fuseholders arrived from Eastern Beaver.

    

• July 29, 2010
  
  • The relays, relay bases and fuseholders shipped from Eastern Beaver.

• July 25, 2010
  
  • I created label panels in Front Panel Designer. They're 23mm x 35mm. The pricing for 1 is about $20. That's with 1.5mm aluminum, black anodizing and filled engraving. I can fit 2 of them on the display panel, and 3 more between the steering column and display panel.

    I ordered relays, relay bases and fuse holders from Eastern Beaver.

• July 23, 2010
  
  • I poked at Front Panel Designer a bit to see what it'll cost to have aluminum panels made to identify pushbuttons. I need to do a real design with actual dimensions, but the price looks to be reasonable.

• July 22, 2010
  
  • The Mouser order with the IPR1SAD5-LOS pushbutton arrived. The picture on the left is the pushbuttons, the picture on the right is the Tyco/AMP sealed Mini Mate-N-Lok 4-pole connectors.

    

• July 19, 2010
  
  • The Mouser order with the IPR1SAD5-LOS pushbutton should arrive on Thursday 7/22/2010.

• July 17, 2010
  
  • I ordered some of the parts from Mouser. They didn't have the 2-position connectors in stock, so I left those off of my order and will get them elsewhere.

• July 10, 2010
  
  • I started creating the parts list for the rear work light.
