First off,

you have to connect your switch to either the J3 or J4 connection interface.
This is just a connection and will not provide power for your led.

You will connect your led to the J2 interface. J2 has 5 volts of power supplied.

To set up your led, you set it up like this;

On J2, Pin #1 has 5 volts supplied all of the time, dont use this.
Pin #2 is the ground that you will use for all of your LEDs.

So, the first led would be connected as;


Pin #3---------->Resistor------>LED---------Pin #2 (ground)

a second led would be conected like

Pin #4---------->Resistor------>LED---------Pin #2 (ground again)




Use the I/O confiquration;


Hope this helps.
