Hey all,
So I'm working on a mod right now that has a lot of things that need to tap into the 5v on a DMG and I was hoping someone might be able to explain the best way to hook up multiple wires into the same lead. For example, I have two LEDs that I want to wire into the same leads as my backlight.
Thoughts?
Many thanks!

Since the solder point is relatively small, if you want to run out multiple wires, you can always run one single wire off the 5v+ point and then create a 'junction' at the other end, where you connect all the other wires. Be sure to use some hot glue/heatshrink tube or similar to avoid that join shorting with any other points on the board when you close up the DMG.

Wire them in parallel so the voltage supplied to each LED is the same
