I'm currently in the midst of housing a BYOC Confidence Boost in a PPP pre-drilled enclosure using the Madbean standard wiring diagram, but my enclosure has no hole for an LED and, as a result, I need to skip it. I would also like to drop the battery clip. How would I go about evading these two things? I'm kind of green at this, so diagrams are welcome (though not necessarily required). Thanks!
That's fairly easy to do.
No LED: omit the red wire going to the 4k7 resistor, omit the resistor and the LED, and omit the (is is gray?) wire going to the switch.
No clip: just leave off the black and red wire of the clip.
That sums it up nicely. Just to clarify: the red and black wires are attached to the battery clip when you buy it, so it's really just a case of leaving it out. You could easily add one later if you wanted to.
BYOC is a great place to start. My first build was a BYOC kit and I'm sure that's true of many people around here. Welcome to the addiction!
The pot I picked was ill-suited, my 3pdt switch wiring was pretty dodgy, and I had to troubleshoot some grounding issues, but the advice helped! Witness:

(I have vague plans to name all of my builds after 30 Rock, Simpsons, and Seinfeld jokes.)
Excellent, I'm glad it worked out. You should post pics of it n the build reports section and make sure to include a gut shot, so we know it's not just an empty box! ;)
