The tactile switches have 4 contacts. Does anyone know how to wire these? Any diagrams?

Use a multi-meter. Some tactile switched have two contacts for Normally Open (NO) and two for Normally Closed (NC). However, some are usually NO with two pair of contacts to operate two circuits. I do not get my switches from the store so I can not comment on which style they have.

Use either pair of 'legs' on one side or the other. If you have your LEDs wired, and resistored, you can use them with your battery to test your switch. This is really crude but if it Helps..... 14228

What are you wiring them to? (soundboard or stunt saber)
