Pico Crumble Wiring Question

[jdubzw]

Hey all, I'm pretty new to wiring and I had a question about the wiring diagram that's in the manual for the Pico Crumble. Here is the link to the diagram from the store (http://www.plecterlabs.com/Media/Doc/PicoCrumble-v1.06-GB.pdf).

Under the "General Wiring" section, it shows the switch leg connecting to the positive of the battery, which then connects to the positive of all 3 LEDs and continues to the board. My question is: does the sequence matter in which those are connected? For example, can I take the positive wire from the battery, switch leg and positive LED wires and just twist them all together, then go to the board? Or do I need to make sure the switch wire connects right to the battery terminal, then branches off in that exact sequence?

Thanks in advance!

Order is not relevant for those wires. It's generally easier to connect a single wire to the pad on the board, and have all your splices somewhere else. Connecting more than two wires to one pad on the NB is gonna be difficult at best.

Awesome thanks so much! That was really my hope - I was looking to twist all 3 of those together and connect it to a single wire that would then go to the board to make that part easier. I think I've tested everything about 50 times as I've moved along in the build since I haven't soldered anything before and I'm praying I'm doing everything correctly :P I realized yesterday I wired the LED pads backwards (I had the colored wires with the resistors going to the positives) so it's been an adventure moving along lol.

A standard resistor can safely go on either the positive or negative wire for your LED. Electrically speaking, it makes no difference.

The DynaOhm resistor for accent LEDs must go on the positive side, but that's the only real time that it matters.

Ohhhhh that's interesting... so, based on the wiring diagram, the resistor could either go on the negative wires to the board OR the positive wires headed to the battery? I guess at least I got more practice with soldering :)
