Another Electrovibe…

The guts are ugly… I will eventually clean it up. I’m just happy it works! The ring leds were not kind to work with on this build. The clearance for the edge of the pcb to the edge of the foot switch is virtually zero so I had to adapt entire housing. But I got it. The speed switch is red for the red knob and blue for the blue. Bypass is blue on red off. I maybe should have gone with green on but it didn’t match my color scheme.
I thought I ran into an issue because after I housed it and out the knobs on I plugged it in upside down and the light was just solid inside… I took it all apart and tried to figure out why only to eventually realize the intensity knob was turn all the way down when I put the knobs on… all the way down equivalent no modulation….

Very fun build. The always-on bypass LED would throw me off (my ears wouldn't).

How did you connect the breakout boards to the main PCB? It's really the only step that throws me off. For my build I was thinking of using pin strips but I don't know if the footswitches would fit the enclosure then.

I used clip leads because I bought 2mm spaced pin headers and the correct ones weren’t going to be here in time. Pin headers will work as well though.

I used headers and they fit without a problem, I just had to go slow and make sure they lined up because a. I drilled my own holes and I'm sure I'm off here and there b. I wasn't using normal 3pdt switches so I needed to make sure they weren't going to ground out and still fit. In the end it worked but I don' know if I would use the breakout boards again. There great when they work but if you have to trouble shoot you might as well just start with a new foot-switch because you cannot see under them.
