    You could possibly try testing the LED on the switch using a x2 pack (and standard remote batteries.. 1.5v x2 = 3v).. 3v shouldn't blow out the Tcss (green) av switch led. This way you can isolate your issue and deal with potential issues separately.

    You can also speed your feedback time along by snapping a quick picture of the wiring or issue in question and posting it (from dropbox // photobucket // blah blah). I've found these guys can spot an issue far AHEAD of time (you just have to ask them)..

    They all want to see your project succeed. At the Tcss forums is a looooong line of true jedi (or sith) builders, and ALL have been where you sit.. Struggling with some issue or another..

    So don't let it get you down.. The HARD part is what makes it worth it.

    Indeed. A picture of your wiring will be very helpful for us to diagnose your issues.
    We all have to start somewhere. The journey is all the more impressive by our humble beginnings.
