pop,

My circuit has 3 switches, each of which control one color. The yellow
switch, for example, turns on the yellow bulbs. Same for red and green. Not
sure what you mean by saying: "Your schematic turns them all on at once".

He means that your red switch turns on all the red, yellow switch
turns on all the yellow, etc. That's not how baseball** works.

The OP needs 8 switches, one for each light.


**Unless you;re talking about speed baseball. Speed baseball is like
speed dating and speed scrabble (a game similar to Scrabble which will
be out this year. I think each player can only go once in a
round/game).

In speed baseball, the batter gets one swing and it's either 2 strikes
or 3 balls. On the second swing, if he gets a third strike he's out.
If he gets a 4th ball he walks. Or he can get whatever he didn't get
on the first swing. Then on the 3rd swing he either walks, fouls, or
strikes out. He doesn't get more than 3 swings unless he fouls.

The first batter to be out gets two outs. The next batter has to
either get on base, or he's out. If he's out, that half of the inning
is over.

OK, I made all this up just to fit the lightbox you have diagramed.
It might work as a game*** but I don't think it's the game the OP has
in mind.

***I think it is the same as regular baseball but having 2 strikes be
an out, 2 outs be a half-inning, and 3 balls be a walk. But I'm not
sure of that.

I agree Terry. I wish I could express it more succinctly. I drew up a
schematic and have attached it here as a .jpg file. This picture is
worth at least a few hundred words..... Hope it helps the original
poster and that he / she can download it.

When connecting "one switch and one light together" per the
instructions below, you actually need to connect the green switch's
unused terminal to the unused terminal on each of the 3 green
lights, then connect the yellow switch's unused terminal to the
unused terminal on each of the 2 yellow lights, and finally the
last switch, red's unused terminal, to the unused terminal on each
of each of 2 red lights.
Boy that sounds awfully complicated.

Umm, don't you want a separate switch for EACH light? Your schematic
turns them all on at once.
