i made a device very similar to this one and it worked fine ''but in the end i just bought the 'track clip pro' on its own for about £30 which i clip onto my headphones, and i use the freetrack software with it and a cheap webcam with the ir filter removed. it looks so much better now than before when i had the homemade cap, same as a full Track IR setup but at a fraction of the cost. Plus the track clip has a usb connection so no more changing batteries. Nice video for beginners CAT101st +1

@CAT101st thank you very much, i got them working :)

@Shibidibo The batery wire goes to one post. Then run a wire from the other to the LED's. Also the LED's can only thake power from one direction. Make sure you test as you go or nuthing will work.

@CAT101st one last question and sorry about this, but do you run the + wire from the battery connecter through both the pin holes on the on/off switch or just one? i just want to make sure i got everything right before i start this project.

@Shibidibo Yes Yes.. Sory about that I am building matrix brakeout boards for the Xkeys IO DIY matrix board. Building 10 of them and each has 128 diod's.
-
@CAT101st by the diod im guessing your reffering the to resister?
-
@Shibidibo The + goes thrue the switch then the diod and off to the LED's and back to the battery.
-
just so im understanding your video correctly, you connected the + battery wire to the switch and only mounted those to the pcb board, and took your long + wire and put that on the resistor correct? and just sodderd the two - wires together to complete the connection?
can i connect 3 led lights in 'series' through a usb power(5V)?
