I have an old momentary switch with a ring light, and I want to use it with a Crystal Focus 5.6 board so that the ring lights up while the saber is on, but off while in sleep mode. I assumed I would one of the accent LED pads, but I don't know what to connect where. I found an unhelpful diagram on a site that sells a similar switch, which I'll attach here along with a photo of my actual switch.Attachment 18125Attachment 18126Attachment 18127

16mm Anti Vandal Latching Blue Ring Switch (thecustomsabershop.com)
To keep it as basic as possible.. use C1 and NO1 for the actual switch wires.
I’m not sure that the 5.6 had sleep mode, or that you’ll be able to turn off the switch light when the saber isn’t running.Quote:

I know the OP said momentary but it looks like a latching one to me.
Tim, you might be right! I don't have the original packaging. I will test it.Quote:

But though I wired up the LED to the first accent LED pad on the CF, it didn't light up. I need to check the settings on the micro SD and also make sure my bridge is actually bridged and the other wires are solid.
