Hi all,
Sorry for the noob question but does anyone out there have any pics of how they accomplish this in their builds?
I understand where the wire goes to on the 3PDT but it's the actual joining of the jack>wire>resistor>LED that I don't quite get in terms of the actual soldering and placement. Do I just stick the resistor and LED in the chain so it literally goes:
9V jack > wire > resistor >(wire) > LED > wire > 3PDT
I'm just in the middle of my first build and am worried things hanging about in the enclosure and shorting on each other if I have a resistor floating about.

Cheers in advance

Liam
