I want to construct a simple blinker system for my gas scooter (of the goped
style somewhat). The lights will be mounted to the rear of a custom built
trailer. So here's what I'd like to do. I want a center-off 2 way switch
[on-off-on] at the handlebars for switching between the lights. The main
thing I'm concerned about is how to make the lights blink. I'm thinking
maybe a car blinker part might work. The power source will be either a large
6v battery or a cluster of 1.5v batteries in a holder to add up to 6v-12v
(depending on how much voltage is required for the blinker; I think 12v
though).
[power 6v/12v] + ---[switch]==[blinker 1 with + connection]==[left]
[power 6v/12v] - ---[switch]==[blinker 2 with + connection]==[right]
Just to clearify the diagram, it would be a single switch for both lights
with 3 positions, on-off-on, not a single on-off switch or each light. So
does anyone have any idea of this would work?
