LEDS Without Track Isolators
Michael asks readers:
“Is there a simple way to turn on an LED when a switch is moved using a standard atlas switch control, without putting in a large number of track isolators?















There has to be thousands of ways to do it ! Simple? Glue a small magnet to your frog tie and use a reed switch, when the magnet gets close to the switch it will conduct.
