I'm building my first stir plate. Got everything together and a few wiring schematics. I'm running into an issue with wiring in my on/off rocker switch. For reference here is the schematic I was using:
My problem is that wiring schematic has three contact points on the rocker switch. My switch only has two and they aren't marked. See:
I tried wiring it up last night and it seemed to work, except I had them wired backwards (fan ran when it was OFF and did not run when ON).
Side note: I need to snag another wall wart for power. When I got it wired up last night I noticed a tad bit of smoke coming out of the power supply. It could just be that I had it wired incorrectly. If not, no worries I've got plenty wall warts lying around.
