Sorry I edited my post to take out the proxy sensors as they need more than 5V but if you have another say 12v or 24v power supply you could use them as you say the 2 wire one are more simple
Re: Help with proximity sensors
Ok I'm lost now, when I use micros switches I don't have a problem they work straight from home 1 and ground.
I was hoping that the plunge switch I linked to would do the same is that correct?

Re: Help with proximity sensors
Yes a simple switch will work fine without any other stuff attached. You could still use the proxy switches but you would also need relays.
Re: Help with proximity sensors
See that's getting technical to me pal, I will stick to the simple switch for now and do a bit more brain training on the proxy switches lol

Yes they will be fine
Re: Help with proximity sensors
I've gone for the push button ones. If I add a small LED between the switch would this light up to let me know it's touched etc but like the led on the proxy ones?

I would have to think about that as I have had a bit of a drink now but if you did you would need a current limiting resistor in series with it about 500 ohm you could always try it and see.
Re: Help with proximity sensors
I tend not to have a drink these days I always end up with parcels from eBay couple days later haha
