Hey everyone, I am going to purchase all my parts soon for a saber, the only think I am confused about is the wiring of the switch. I have attached a picture of what I think is correct but I could be very very wrong. If this does work, how will the switch function? Thanks.11927

If you wire it that way, the switch LED will always be on. If you want it to turn on and off with the blade, run it off of NO1 along with the blade LED.

I would do it like this

Ah i see, so the dynaohm resistor will make sure the led in the switch doesn't burn out?

Yeah, you don't have to use a dynaohm, you can use a regular resistor but dynaohms make life easy. Just make sure you don't put it in backwards ;)
