absf, which side of the button?

Also, I used these color wires and "coordinates" on my breadboard, so feel free to refer to specific colors or points.

absf, GopherT, my thanks to you both! Your selflessness and patience (in addition to attention to detail) is rarely found outside of close friends or family.

I can now move on to my next task.... Adding a lithium ion battery, charging circuit, and QI wireless charger. Any experience with those?
