Ensure you mount the footswitches on
the right side of the daughterboard.
It’s clearly marked. Otherwise your
ribbon cable connections won’t line up.
The boards are designed for a 7-way
ribbon cable connection between
them, but you can use any wire you
want. just make sure you connect the
correct pads.
LEDs
You should leave these until you’re actually boxing up the circuit. They don’t need to be in place for the
circuit to work, so plug it in and test it before you add them.
Pull them up through the PCB (short leg to square pad), and slightly bend the legs out so they don’t fall
back through. Position your daughterboard into the enclosure and lightly secure the footswitches. You
should now push the LEDs down through the PCB and located them into their holes in the enclosure.
Once done, tighten the footswitches, check the LEDs are still in place, then solder them in.
WHY IS THERE AN EXTRA PAD FOR THE ‘MORE’ FOOTSWITCH LED...?
Yes. You can use a bi-colour LED in there if you want, i.e. green for normal, red for MORE.
Use a common-anode LED.
