Confused on hooking up lights

(1/1)

mickey:
I’m having trouble trouble understanding the wiring of the lights to the LM4-S-G. In looking at the diagram in manual and I think I wire one end of the lights to the 5v+ but does the other end goes to one of the light outputs with resistor there.  The part that I’m confused on is the purple wire.  Where does it come in?

gregeusa:
I think the purple wire is used as a chuff trigger on steamers

Yes.

The purple wire is an input. This can be connected to a chuff trigger on steamers as Greg mentioned. On non steam it is unused as Ring hasn't made it available for any purpose on a diesel or electric etc .
