Prodigy with lighted switch?

[mEtoke2]

Hey CaSH, since the USB Passthrough is getting a "Lighted Tact Switch," will the Prodigy also have one? Let there be light!

I believe he said in the video that the LED made the Prodigy too big so it was chopped.

Hey Ross,

We ran in to a couple issues ...

Most tact switches (easily available) can't push up to 7-7.5v ... Lighted ones especially and most top out at roughly 5v. What we found odd in the lighted tact switches is that they don't pull voltage (up to 2v) like most LED's. At this point, we are still going unlit for the time being. We are looking at alternatives for V2.

Yup, that was the #1 reason ... however, that was a separate LED, not a built in LED Switch!

Thanks for the info Steve.
