Got the electrics in, little issue testing the circuit. Like so:
View attachment 700576View attachment 700577View attachment 700575
Does that mean I need to wire in parallel? in what way? I am absolutely a novice at this part; I've never soldered a single thing so this will probably end up wirenutted together like everything else I've done with batteries and LEDs.
(note also there will be multiple LEDs, so how should those be wired themselves, series or para?)
I just want to have all this down pat before I open the barrel up.
Note: Cutting the center hoops yielded very exciting POWs as the metal's tension was released; that was a hell of a thing!
Looking at your diagram, if black is negative (-) and red is positive (+). Starting from the battery, negative to negative on the motor. The position on the motor should be connected to the negative on the led. Then the positive on the led should be connected to your switch, which is then connected back to the positive on the battery. That should be a proper in series wiring (I'm a novice myself). Is that how you have it wired? Do you have enough power to power the motor and switch at same time? Can your wires you're using handle the load?
