Boteh Drive switches

Are the switches for the contour and presence mislabeled on the circuit board? My presence switch doesn't seem to do anything and the contour switch just sounds weird...
Any help from those who are more familiar with how the circuit boards are laid out would be appreciated!

The build doc asks for the special on/on/on toggle for contour, did you use that?
NOTE: Contour toggle switch must be Type-2 DPDT ON/ON/ON
100-DP6-T100B1M1QE (Long Shaft)

Taiway DPDT On On On Switch - Solder Lug - Long Shaft

Be confident in your toggle switches with the DPDT On-On-On switch with solder lugs and long shaft actuator from Taiway. Part number 100-DP6-T100B1M1QE.

Yep! The reason I think they're switched around is because neither control works like it's supposed to

Are you mounting the switches on the reverse side of the PCB?

You have to use Type 2, some think they can rotate it 180 degrees but that doesn't change anything.
From the face of the pedal with knobs, Contour on the Left, 3 positions. Presence on the Right, 2 positions!

Ok, I see. I must have missed that. Any ideas why the presence switch isn't doing anything either?

They must be interactive then, right?

Can you show good Pics of the finished PCB, Front & Back.

Another thing to keep in mind, Tayda lists their DPDT ON/ON/ON as Type 2 but it is actually a Type 1.

I'd post pics but my good camera is currently out of commission. That must be the problem, I got it from Tayda. I just ordered the right one one from Love My Switches so I'll report back once I get it swapped out. From the schematic, it looks like the presence switch is dependent on the contour switch working properly, so we'll see what happens when I fix the contour control. Thanks everybody!

Got it working, thanks everybody!
