    Ahoy folks, I am looking for detailed wiring information on the Battler's Connection test switches. I am specifically looking for details on how to connect these switches to both the new multi-C control boards and the XR-4 cruiser firing board.

    pictures here, different angles show all connections. I think there are semi-clear instructions on BC's website

    There will be two leads that go from switches to the multi C (three total wires, 2 black 1 red). The positive is redundant so pick one (either is fine). one lead will go to the gun output (one red and one black to one XT-30), the other one goes to 'T-SW' or something like that (for test switches, one black to one XT-30, no red)

    Also these. You can run the positive through the test switch board (like shown in my build post linked above). Maybe i will update these pictures to show the multi board connection in the future

    for the cruiser board i think you just run the negative through the XR-4 board, split positive separately.

    If you have the two test switch, don't solder the bridge between the two switches. run the negative for each gun from XR-4 to test switch. run a separate negative line from test switch to battery. run positive from battery to test switches, and then from output of test switches to solenoids (pos and neg).
