Hello, friends. I recently decided to try installing an optical theremin in the cavity of a Les Paul copy I have. The chip and battery fit fine with plenty of room to spare, however, I'm not very experienced when it comes to wiring it back up properly. At this point, I've managed to get only 1 of the 2 humbuckers to work while running it through an SPDT toggle switch and the theremin chip. The chip is very simple. All it has is wires for the 9 volt battery and output wires which I wired with the pickup wires to the SPDT switch so that I can toggle back and forth between the pickups and the theremin. I've clearly failed at this and would be super appreciative is someone could help me understand where I messed up, or even better, direct me towards a schematic of some sort.

Thanks ahead of time!
