Definitive Diagram for illuminated switch/recharge port/MR board?
I am going crazy trying to find a wiring schematic that shows how to set up a MR board with a recharge port AND an illuminated switch. I've found several different versions but they don't seem to be the same and some are really hard to decipher. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I've got the recharge port wiring down, but once I add the illuminated switch to the equation I get a bit....lost.

Well, The illuminated switch is just like an extra accent LED.
and then the switch is wired to the switch leads...

All you need to do is run a wire from one of the negatives on the board with the appropriate resistor and then just back to the pos.

Shadar,
Thanks, I'd seen that, but found it too hard to follow. All the lines leading all over! Most likely that is a reflection on ME and not YOU.You should see the diagram I tried to make for myself. It looks like someone gave a monkey access to photoshop.

Ha ha no worries, even I had a hard time following that one.... And i made it
I usually just follow one wire from board to component and make my own diagram....

I think I've got it now and will try this weekend.
Just to confirm one thing - I need a 68 Ohm 1/4 Watt resistor on the green illuminated switch if I am using 4.8 volts, correct? Does not matter if I place that on + or - ?

technically no, it does not matter but since electricity flows from neg to pos i always put it on the neg

doesnt electricity ply positive to negative? its just the electrons flowing backward?Originally Posted by Shadar Al'Niende
