AAA Stunt Wiring

[greywolf520]

Sorry for the cross-posting, (I've been discussing this in the customization board) but this is a purely technical question at this point.  I could use some wiring assistance.  I've been doing some research and reading the 101's but I'm still a NewbTard when it comes to basic electronics, and I really don't want to burn anything out.

These five things are all I have to wire:

1. Your basic green single LED that came standard in the saber;
2. Your basic quad-AAA battery setup that came standard in the saber;
3. A single resistor that came standard in the saber, off the black wire coming out of the battery pack (I believe).  It's labeled with a capital M inside a box (I assume to be a brand or makers' mark), followed by "3W," and on the next line "2 • 0 Ω 5%."

4. A new Momentary to latching converter 4.5-20V from TCSS,
5. A new Illuminated Green AV momentary switch from US.

It's been said I need to purchase an additional resistor (or a buckpuck?) for the Illuminated switch.  I'm assuming that means a single resistor on the circuit won't regulate the current to both LED's.  I'm also assuming what I need is available at Radio Shack.  What would I be asking for / looking for?

Assuming a purchase of another resistor, how would I wire together those six things?

I have some tutorials that might help you:

I highly recommend purchasing a DynaOhm 20mA regulator for the illuminated AV switch.  It is like the buck puck for the illuminated AV switch world.

So the AV switch runs on 20mA, and the saber LED runs on 700mA (or up to 1000mA if you want to overdrive)?

All right, how about this:

Besides the fact that I can't really read circuit diagrams, here's what I know pretty much for sure so far.  Anybody mind whipping out the old MS Paint and drawing two or three red and blue lines with plusses, minuses, and arrows?

I got this from a guy on facebook:

anybody see any major issues or gotchas?
