SX-350 Illuminated Switch Wiring

[DrBeaker]

Here is the back of the switch I wired the lead marked - to one of the switched leads. Lets call this the "jumper"


I then prepared a wire with a 100ohm resistor and some heat shrink. the wire end goes to the + on the back of the switch.
The resistor goes to the positive lead to the battery and the sx-350 board.

Using a multi meter I tested the sx-350 switch leads and found the one that is ground by using the ohms setting and the batteries negative point and attached it to the non-jumped point on the switch.
The other sx-350 switch lead goes to the jumped switch point.

If you want the LED brighter use a 47ohm resistor.....

This is for making the switch light when you fire as opposed to continuous? Got components coming for my first build of one of these and figured I'd try an illuminated switch.

Yes that is correct....

I would love to see a finished picture or two of how this came out!
