Thank you, sir. I will most likely just take a loose wire from one of the two screws and and drop it right on a GND from the the front panel header. Seems easy enough and if I pull a little bit by accident the plug just pulls off the header and no solder point breakage.
In my Cube build I have the LED working like a regular power LED - in fact I just have two wires going from the two pins on the mobo header's LED terminal to the LED pins. After re-reading your wiring diagram I am interested in making it glow brighter in a proximity situation or at least giving it a try. In your original picture of the two ends (cathode and anode) and your soldering - you said that the end on the right (the one on the round side of the metal plate, the one on the side near the center opening?) is the pin to which you made the solder connection, but the picture makes it look like there is a little brown wire touching the other pin. Could you confirm that the the pin I want to solder the resistor to is the one that when looking straight down on the switch is the one that is on the side of the semi circle side of things. Also what kind of resistor do I need to buy? Thanks in advance.
I figure my flattery allowed me one more question
Edit: I completely forgot - as both of my Cube switch using build have on mobo power (Intel NUC and Intel DH61AG) I do not have a pico PSU from which to tap into pin 16. Is there an alternative for me? Say from the front panel header on either of these boards?
