LED latching switch and R.I.C.E. port?

[blkmorgan]

Hey all,
So I got my 1st batch of parts for my dark jedi saber in and had a few questions. 1st, I got this switch: http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/16mm-Anti-Vandal-Latching-Red-Ring-Switch-P465.aspx , and it has 5 prongs on it. Its obvious on what the neg and pos prongs are for but the other 3 are marked NC1, NC2, and C1. Which of these 2 do I use for the actual switching part and is one a ground? Also is it okay to snip the prongs shorter to make more room. They almost touch the opposite side of the ID even when in the Activation box. The 2nd question is I got this R.I.C.E. port: http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/35mm-RICE-Port-Style-1-P658.aspx , and it has 3 posts. The bigger one I'm sure is the ground wire but which is which on the other 2. The gold colored post is marked as 2 and the silver is marked as 1. Which one is for the Rx and which is for the Tx on a prizm 3.5 (which is the board I'll be using as soon as they are back in stock.). Thanks

To answer your RICE questions, the store has a picture of which pin is which, and the manual tells you how to wire it up.

To answer your switch question, look at this thread:

10765 Based on the link you gave me would this set up work?

Cool thanks. The 5th prong threw me when I opened the package for the 1st time.
