My basic need is to actuate a 5v DPDT relay with a spst momentary switch so when the spst is pressed, the relay is in one state and when the spst is let go the relay returns to the other state.
I know very little about relays but something tells me it can't be as simple as supplying voltage across the coil. Is there any particular type of relay I would need for this. I'm assuming it would be non-latching. Supply voltage would be 9v so I would probably need a 5v regulator.
I know I could use a momentary DPDT switch but size is an issue and the spst switch is the right size.
