Paragon with LED footswitches - help!

[Grubb]

Hi folks, quick question. I'm about to build a 1590BB Paragon but I planned it out for LED footswitches without considering the secondary board that comes with the Paragon PCB. Can I wire up 2 LED footswitch boards to the main PCB easily enough instead of the secondary board? If so, how? Thanks.

Short answer: Yes, it can be done.

Follow up question: does the LED footswitch already contain a current limiting resistor?
- If YES, jumper R14 and R26, wire the red (anode) to the + trace of the LED and the black wire (cathode) to the - (ground) trace of the LED.
- If NO, keep R14 and R26, wire the red (anode) to the + trace of the LED and the black wire (cathode) to the - (ground) trace of the LED.

Note: In both cases, you will need to wire your offboard footswitches for IN, OUT, GROUND, and LED (-) to the main PCB for this to work.

Thank you, that's the part I'm asking about
