As the stands are getting close to shipping, thought I'd put a few pics up for those doing their own wiring. I've been told (by a student) that this is a simple parallel circuit, I've tried to take some pics and those with more electrical knowledge that me should have no problems.
To start, take the 2 pieces of included wire and hold them up to the holes where the LEDs fit in, mark the wire and strip a small bit away at each of those parts:
Now put the LEDs in through the holes. The longer piece is positive, solder the red wire to the longer end, and the black wire to the shorter end:
Put a bit of electrical tape between the wires so they don't touch and short out. If you have any issues later, this is probably where they arise from:
Continue that for each of the 4 LEDs. Then solder the resister to the end of the red lead, then cut a small piece of excess red ire and join the resister to the switch. Solder the black directly to the black end of the 9 volt adapter, then the red wire from the 9 volt harness to the switch.
When it's all done, tape down the wires and install the switch.
