Can I use daughter board with this pcb?

[Svenson007]

Hey guys I’m working on my first dual pedal with order switch. I want to keep both switches uniform. One pcb is pedalPCB so it’s straight forward with the daughterboard. But this coda effects one doesn’t have a “switch” hole. Can I just run two wires from the ground lug on the coda effects pcb ….. one goes to ground and one to switch on the daughter board?

Thanks

Not familiar with their boards, can you post shot of complete board

You'd be better off with a daughter board that includes the LED, you could wire it off the PPCB board, but incorporating the LED and it's CLR, will be a tad bit more challenging

Yeah that would be helpful. But in my situation it’s either use the pedal pcb daughterboard or wire it old school. I wasn’t sure if Switch and ground essentially do the same thing. The reason I’m hung up on using the pedal pcb daughter board is that this is my first time wiring a pedal with an order switcher pcb, and the diagram below is what I’m going by. So if I wire that circuit old school I’m not very confident in straying from the diagram below.

Here's a wiring option for you, that shows how to connect an LED

Oh thanks man. But to be honest wiring the LED isn’t really what I’m worried about. I’ve done plenty of wiring up different pcb’s and vero etc. It’s more wiring to the order switcher pcb without following the above diagram, because I can’t use the pedal pcb daughterboard due to the different pcb hookups from coda effects. I wish they were both pedal pcb so I could follow the diagram exactly.

But thanks man. What you linked is a different way of wiring that I haven’t seen before. Might have to try that at some point. Cheers

Your ins/outs to the order switcher would be the same regardless of whose daughter board you use, but if you want to use the PPCB, you'll wire ground to ground, switch to LED Cathode, LED Anode to CLR to Power

Sweet thank you. I accidentally ordered 3pdt foot switches without holes through the lugs. So that’s why I’m so hung up on using the board haha.

Hmmm I’m not sure I see what was edited?

Looks the same to me no?

I work mostly with A/C current so that switching on the ground side with DC always trips me up

 

[Svenson007]

Ahhhh yes. LED Anode to CLR to Power

Strangely… earlier on in my learning I wired straight from dc Jack to anode…. And put the CLR on the cathode side to the stomp switch and it’s still working……. I wondered about this ever since…. If the current is being limited does it matter what side the CLR is on? I’m sure it does, it just made me wonder…..

I’m still fairly limited when it comes to correct electrical theory obviously haha.

I just like to make racket and twist knobs I try though.

Yeah DC current is ass backwards to everything I've learned

I'm pretty sure with DC it can go on either side

Just from my personal experience it seems ok (from my mistake). But I still tend to stick with what I’ve seen as a convention over and over, even if I don’t see a reason to. Maybe people just figured one rule for both (ac/dc) was the way to go. No confusion etc…
