So, second order from madvapes and it was a great choice again! Lots of extra little goodies tossed in the box!
The real question is... Where do you solder the PCB switches. I see a positive and negative next to posts, then below each theres another. Is it just solder the negative, and the matching negative to the post below it. Or do I solder all four to wires?

Thanks in advance!

Find the switch at madvapes and post the link. Or post a picture. Chances are you only use 2 but which two of the 4. So what switch you using would help.

And you mention PCB. What mod you making the 5 Volt?

If you have a meter you could set it on ohm to check the switch post. Touch each probe to a post and hit the button. If the meter jumps those are the two. If not keep one probe on the post and move the other to another post and hit the switch till it jumps. This will show you what two post to use.

Ok got this figured out. That`s if it is flat on one side like I`m thinking it is from the pdf info found here on this link.

See the diagram PCB Layout about 3/4 way down the page. Looking at that you can see the solid contact sides of the switch you would want to use any one of the two contacts from each side.

I couldn`t help but do my own diagram here. So by looking at the flat side of the switch you want that to be the contacts to use. Hope this helps.
