[SOLVED] power and reset pin setup

[mantinziza]

I have a Hero Maximus 10 that I'm switching over too due to an unfortunate cmos accident, I think? Well I'm looking at some on/off/on spring toggle switches. Any way, I'd like to set it up so the upflick is, power on, and the downflick is the reset switch. However there is only 1 negative out on this toggle switch. My common sense tells me that I could wire into either the reset or power or both at that point without issue....... But my other sense tells me that the manufacturer wouldn't design the power/reset negative pins separately for a reason. I would love to see if any one has expeirence or knowledge to the matter, ty.

You have the wrong switch.
You need a Momentary DPDT.

Ty that will work much better than trying to use what I got laying around. 😀
