Anyone know how to wire up an LED toggle switch with a Bodner BBI-32?

The product description states that it includes "5V power for illuminated switches or extra LEDs" however I'm not sure how the 3 connectors of an LED toggle switch will be connected. In most cases the additional prong goes off to ground but I just can't fathom this out and think I've tried almost every possible permutation of wiring (I've obviously missed the working configuration lol)

The image below shows the 5v connectors on the left hand side of the board ...but I'm lost. Also, does a toggle switch that is classed as 12v need a 12v supply to work....or would 5v still light up but possibly not quite as bright?




Any assistance appreciated.

Thanks for the find Sokol, I might be wrong but I think that toggle switches with an integrated LED are cabled differently to your diagram.



I'm often finding that as soon as I incorporate the additional 5 volt power from the Bodner board is crashes out the USB connection which is obviously pulling the 5v from the USB port.
