The Petit Crouton has a built-in driver that will control the current for the led's without the need for resistors. The current is adjustable via R.I.C.E. or on the SD card.
(( I will make these changes.))
Also, where the manual says to bridge the pads for the on board power extenders, it does not mean you bridge them together like you have drawn. You only bridge the pads together for each power extender separately, and then you use the appropriate resistor in-line to the white FoC die on the Rebel.
((Only the pads are bridged....they are not bridged together its only "labeled" to describe the pads are bridged...I can remove the lines.
The switch led you have wired to the FoC1 pad isn't going to work, either. That needs to be wired to one of the accent led pads, like the secondary switch is in your diagram.
((Ok I will make this change))
Unless you plan to remove the power regulator from the board, in the 3.7volt hack as described on page 33 in the manual, you are going to need a 7.4volt battery pack to power it.
