Greetings all,
    I have looking at digging into switching options via relay bypass, etc, using microcontrollers. I saw the Coda Effects post, and this has further sparked my interest. I was curious if anyone has had any luck with sourcing a PICKit 2/3/4 starter kit. The link to Amazon appears to be dead and some reviews of the kits on there seem to point toward Chinese knockoffs.

Has anyone had luck with purchasing a PICKit programmer recently?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm sorry to hear that, Brian...my thoughts go out to you and yours.

Not dense. I was confused by the data sheet as well. Nothing jumps out at me on how to select between the effects. The smallbear video showed some breakout testing board that I haven't seen anywhere on the Accutronics website.

Their documentation is slightly off in terms of the pins for Out1 and Out2, but i think that part is negligible.

Still not sure how to switch effects; unless of course...no it can't be...they are all running at once?!?!!?

By the gods!!! A tap temp chorus's'ing plate-reverberber!!!

This is great! I'm coming out of pedal building slumber, and was hoping to up my graphics game as well. I'm glad I caught this thread quickly....something is in the air...

Hey there, it has been a while for both of us.  I've never compared the IRF520 vs BS170 sound. But I would let your ears be the judge; if it sounds good, it is good.

Ahhh yes, I will have to learn the lingo

As I discovered and tested late last night, I can use a pair of 1776 opto-tron optical bypass circuits to function as the 4pdt with LED indicator (somewhat addressing the 5PDT issue).  I will still need to test out problems with debouncing using the CMOS set-up but for right now, the problem has been addressed.

Best regards,

Hey everybody!
   I hope you are all doing well.

I'm working on a design which requires a 5PDT footswitch to operate properly. I'm not aware of any switch, so i am looking at CMOS solutions for switching. In particular I was looking at the old GeoFex article based on the CD4043 and CD4013 as a way to incorporate as many SPDT's into my design as I need.

However I noticed that with the "Normally Open" momentary footswitch, that sometimes it will switch back and forth rapidly at what seems to be one click.  I'm looking for something a little more reliable...Does anyone have any suggestions on how to use CMOS for switching, or is there another alternative?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated..

All the best,
   Bradford

I dig it!

Shit man! get some rest and relaxation in; i hope you have a speedy recovery.

Best of luck!!! this sounds like a good transition, quality of life is very important!
   

very nice indeed!

But, I also never give up completely on anything so I've got that going for me!

You're amazing, and we all appreciate your work very much!

Heh, im totally glad you caught that!!!

Yarp, screenprinted them!

I used to have a thread up about screenprinting but it was lost in the crash a year or so back. Im in the process of moving and have recentlt become re inspired to craft again, so ill work on a process tutorial.

Whew!!!
It's been a minute, but after the passing of my cat I just haven't been that motivated to create.  I've been trying to get back into it, but as I move forward I need to get ride of some of the pedals I've built. 
Based on user feedback, I modified the sunshine reverberation to include a volume knob (HUGE MOD I KNOW RIGHT?!?), Any way I thought I would share


Heh not dead yet...

Thanks!!! This is really helpful
