FV-1 USB Dev SPDT switch question

[Jbanks]

I don’t think the build docs for the FV-1 USB version is out, so I want to make sure I have the correct SPDT switch. It should be a SPDT On-Off-On version correct? I believe this is the same as the previous version.


Also, anybody else want a place to chat for FV-1 development/coding/basics? It would be nice to have a dedicated thread to FV-1 show and tell.

Thanks in advance!

That's correct, SPDT On/Off/On.

I'll create a forum category for FV-1 stuff, been meaning to do that for a while now anyway.

That would be awesome!

Sweet. I think that’s a great idea too! Hopefully I’ll have mine wired up today or tomorrow.

Good lord, that was a LOT harder than I thought. The square part was super easy, I drilled a 1/2” hole and used a triangle file to flatten out the hole. Overcut it a smidge but good enough. Now for the disaster part, the SPDT switch so that it puts the USB as close as possible to the enclosure wall. I forgot about the screw channel in the corner!! So all my measurements kind of fell apart after that.

Way too many drilled holes later, I got it close enough, and even that is still about a 1/4 inside the enclosure, but still usable. I need a little mini plate to cover the hole. I do like the placement so I can kick it left or right with my foot to switch modes.

But it works and sounds great. I’ll post a build report once I cover the hole and put knobs on it. Sounds awesome with the D3lay EEPROM thrown in for testing.

I like the robot. I've had to make adjustments to enlarge switch and pot holes in a case because I did not allow enough room for the screw mounts in the inside corners of an enclosure.

have you been able to modify some programs using spincad?

Honestly not yet. I had some issues running it on Windows 10 and didn't get back around to messing around it.

I’m going to work on editing/modding stuff next. Spent a long time reading different software and styles. SpinCAD sounds like one that comes up a lot.

Yeah much easier to use with graphical interface. But I guess it depends on how well you are versed with programming languages.

Almost none, unless HTML counts. Lol. But it’s a good place to learn to start. It looks like there’s a fairly small vocabulary of code and commands (less than a 100??), so it should come together with some practice and lots of YouTube and forum reading!
