I do want to use an outside power control, the toggle switch, but the guy in the instructable wrapped the red wire around the brass heat sink and then soldered the black wire to a component on the other side of the momentary switch. I'm trying to figure out where he soldered and why since our...

I'm assuming the two contact points on the sides of the momentary switch. The instrucable tells me to wrap a red wire around the heatsink and a black wire to the surface mount component on the opposite side of the switch, however. What would be the reasoning for his logic? I'm a complete noob...

**I'm terribly sorry for double posting but time is of utmost importance thus I need the highest possible chance for someone to see my request.** Hi guys, I'm following this Instructable (Step 9) Laser Spirograph on building my first spirograph and I'm completely lost as to where I have to...

Hi guys, I'm following this Instructable (Step 9) Laser Spirograph on building my first spirograph and I'm completely lost as to where I have to solder a wire to the "right component of a surface mount transistor" to bypass the switch and allow me to use a DPDT toggle switch instead of the...
