So I picked up a DPDT switch (because they didn't have any 3 of them same SPDT switches), and started the soldering.

I found out 7 diodes in series only drops ~3.xx volts, and 14 diodes will drop a 12.25v down to ~7.27V...

Pretty interesting..

Since I can't get 7V direct from the PSU because the controller will be metal-metal, so no grounding = nice shock..
