[amsat-bb] Add Switch and LED to ERC-M

[John]

Hi Vincenzo,

You'll probably have better luck (and indeed a more accurate response) if
you contact the ERC mailing list, as the designer himself is on that group
and answers questions very quickly.

The list e-mail address is "Easy_Rotor_Control at yahoogroups.com" so you
should be able to find the actual list by searching for that on Yahoo's
groups site.

73,
John (XLX)

Hi folks,

please I need an help.

I own the ERC-M KIT that I use to track the rotators.

Unfortunately it does not have a switch to switch in ON and OFF and also 

A LED to see when it is on the ON or on the OFF position.

I would like to add them but do not how to do as the Power connector

is soldered on the printed circuit.

Anybody please can point me how to solder the switch and the LED

And where to solder them?

Also do I need a resistor?

If yes which value and where to put it?

Thanks for the help.
