Power and reset switch - Githubissues

thejpster commented 4 years ago

We should fit PCB mount through-hole switches for power and reset.

Reset is an off-mom and only takes a small amount of current (100mA should be OK).
Power is an on-off (or on-on) and needs to handle at least 500 mA. Our expected maximum current is 100 mA, and our PTC is 250 mA, so this gives us some margin.

The power switch will go next to the USB connector, moving the MIDI ports down. Ideally we'd get one that fitted inbetween the end panel and the mounting screw.

The reset switch would either go at the back or at the front, depending on what fits.

FYI, I'm saving the front-left corner for a future two port USB A connector stack.

Have ordered a couple of PCB mount right angle switches (like the C&K PHB2UEETS1A) to test. I'll then decide whether I want them on the PCB, or on flying leads.

PCB mount seems fine.
