How to use an Auto-Switch

Just a few tricks about the auto-switch :)

This demo is simple ! Don't worry :)

Diodes

we see here the auto-switches used as diodes. It's means the flow can only go one way. 

On top left, we observe the current don't go to the right

On top right, we see the power don't go to the left

Bottom, it's received power from the bottom and left, and let the power flow to the right

Avoid current "back flow"

Top Left, in yellow, it's an auto-switch who will blink once, when you push the button. It just here as a test to show the difference between the yellow and blue circuits.

Top Right, in blue, we have 2 auto-switches. Why ?

The first one is connected to itself, which mean it will stay ON even after you press the button. The problem is the power will flow back to the button, and then to the other light ! (the left one).

To avoid this flaw, we install another auto-switch (in green) to receive the power (left), the tick from the button (bottom) and it go up (right). This way, adding a diode, the current will not flow back to the rest of the circuit.
