Thread: I had planned to use a MWS buckpuck, but ...

    I have adjusted your diagram. There were a few issues with it.

    DynaOhm for the accent LED in the switch is the green box. No resistor is required for the main LED, since it's being controlled by the BuckPuck.
    We all have to start somewhere. The journey is all the more impressive by our humble beginnings.

    Thanks! First time dealing with a buckpuck, and it proved to be a bit of a puzzler. I appreciate the help.

    Oh, hey - just noticing something: The positive and negative LED wires are swapped from their actual positions in the buckpuck. Would that change anything in this layout? My guess is everything may be still correct positionally, and I may just have those two colors in the wrong place.

    Just be sure you're connecting pos to pos, and neg to neg. The color of the wire doesn't affect its functionality, it just helps you keep things organized.

    Great, I had a feeling that was the case. Another thing ... is the Dynaohm directional? If so, I'm a little unclear how it should be pointed. I'm thinking the negative (out) should go toward the switch.

    By the way, I'm experimenting with using a circuit board with copper traces to cut down on the wire splices. Thought it might neaten things up. I'll take a photo and post it for any thoughts.

    The DynaOhm is directional. The "in" or + side connects to the battery or recharge port. The "out" or - side connects the the positive leg of the switch LED.

    Alright! Here's what I have going on. You can pretty much see where everything leads. Any thoughts? I'm still wiring the illuminated latching AV switch.
