Im thinking of making my own xbox holder with LED's lighting up a clear XBOX logo. However... I have no idea how to work electronics.
My aim is to have a number of LED's on a linear route through the holder, connecting to this [url]http://proto-pic.co.uk/metal-push-button-momentary-w-green-led/?gclid=CKmst4OSubQCFW3MtAodGmMAww[/url] and being able to plug into a wall socket (UK). Could anyone point me in the right direction of how to go around this or give me any advice?
OvBs posts in the Electrical Engineering thread may help you!
Look around these pages: [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1207850&page=18[/url]
But basically you need a 5V DC wall adapter, a latching push to make switch (pretty sure the one you posted isn't latching (i.e. the switch only completes the circuit when you are holding it down, which I assume is not what you want) and then LEDs in series with 470 ohm resistors in parallel.

Good luck!
