Hoagie_one:
Here's some pics of teh switch I built.
Trimoor:
Uh, Hoagie_one, I don't quite know how to tell you this, but if that little diagram of a diode you drew on the printout is what you used, then you wired it up wrong.

From the looks of your pictures, you have the diodes in backwards. ???

Also, you might want to put a strain relief on the cable.  Having it pull on a bunch of little wires is not good.

You can get a pack of 50 from radio shack cheaply enough.  Asking them to find diodes for you would still be faster than shipping. (but not by much)

You said you tested a few connections and they worked?  I wonder how that could be.
SirPeale:
I was gonna say, hey if it's working, then maybe he did something right.
