Pedalboard build : best practice for encoder and switch breakout?

Standard 12mm hole SPST momentary (non latching to off) foot switches you can get from any guitar FX pedal supplier. They don’t light up but if I want to add an LED light to each I could, but with no mechanism to toggle them based on GPIO activity, I haven’t added them.

Retrofittable led lights here:

Sorry I was looking more at 16 grid buttons.

Just ordinary low profile 24mm dia arcade buttons. Seimitsu PS15’s IIRC. No they don’t light up.

What a nice work, @PunkPrincess! Big Congrats!! I can’t wait to hear your noize … :face_with_monocle:

Thank you. It sorely needs a case which, when this is signed off as done, will lead me into buying a Desktop CNC router (why I backed away from the pedalboard idea)

Will you use it on stage …?

Better yet, tune the router pitch to a MIDI keyboard, so you could actually play it! That would be so useless and so cool…

Building a few other sound devices while I waited for the CNC machine to arrive. Now here, been learning feed rates and bit types and materials next so cautiously moving ahead, but I did prototype the top of my Zynthian enclosure in 3mm ply as a sort-of proof of concept.

I do like the bigger screen,

This is great… I also built a teensy midifighter. I originally did it a few years ago and now it’s due a refresh. 3d printed parts are waiting somewhere between Europe and the UK at the moment. Updates soon :wink:

Keep up the good work!
