Brain fart?

Hi,
  I'm having a moment of "Unclarity"...

can I use a SPDT in place of a SPST? and how do I wire it?? (two wires, one jump?)

I'm confused, all of a sudden simple things are way out of control..

Thanks

Yes you can.

A SPST switch essentially connects the two wires in one throw, and disconnects them on the other. With a SPDT, you have one more lug to make a connection on the other throw, and you just don't use it.

Thanks Jacob!  Mondays can be challenging, specially with sleep deprivation...
