Love My Switches 3DPT Boards

[maracarbonara]

Hey guys, I'm working on a procrastinator kit and I have a bunch of 3PDT boards from love my switches I would like to use up but I'm a little confused how to integrate it into this kit, particularly where to solder SW but honestly a little uncertain about the whole thing. Can I leave the LED off the main board and move it to the switch board? What would I hook v+ to?

3PDT Wiring Board PCB

Updated 3PDT wiring board now includes extra ground pads and is clearly labeled for beginning builders. Fits all standard 3PDT PCB and solder lug foot switches.

V+ to sw
Jumper the led on the main PCB
Only populate on CLR and jumper the other

Only populate on CLR and jumper the other

think you meant "only populate one"
was going to mention you could also put half your CLR value in one and half in the other to use both. or this is where 0R resistors come in handy

I have LMS's pre wired LEDs so the resistor is already taken care of. Just to make sure I'm following, I can jump the - from the main board's LED spot to the pad just below where CLR is marked? For the positive side it looks like it traces back to v+, so nothing else should be needed right?

If that's the case, you can install that led at any of the 4 CLR or LED pads, whatever is cleanest and easiest(mind polarity, whichever side goes to SW is negative, V+ is positive) then jumper the remaining 3 pads.
What happens at the daughter board/3pdt is the connection to ground is switched. The led is always connect to V+.
In your situation, the path is CLR, led pad, SW to V+, daughter board CLR, daughter board led pad, 3pdt switch, ground pad.
