Thanks for the info, the diagrams straightened me out. All wired and working perfectly, Already have a few self-built CD units.

For some stupid reason I just couldn't wrap my brain around the 3-way and I already have some 40+ route controlled (diode matrix) switches, but it's beena while since I wired all that up.

Thanks again.

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.

I have a 3-way switch with 2 solenoid switch machines and I can't remember how to wire the 3 buttons with diodes, any help out there?
