Micro Switch For Continuous Servo Limit Switch And Lights

I'm adding a periscope to my R2 and after reading a bunch of posts on limit switches, I want to know if I understand what I need to do. I've done no coding, just wrapping my mind about how to do it. I will need a switch at the top and bottom. I plan on using a micro switch on the top and bottom. From what I think I read is, I have the signal wire...
