Questions about building the pico-pedal #14

Hi,

I really liked your conversion of the pi-pedal into the pico-pedal. I have already ordered printed PCB's and parts to make one for myself, but I would really appreciate it if you could share some pictures of your build to help me figure out what goes where. I am writing this issue because I knew of no other ways to contact you. If you would be okay with sharing some pictures.

kind regards, Lex

Hi Lex I'm glad this has been helpful for you. I can take a picture but I'm not sure it will help much. Have you had a look at the PDF with the circuit schematics? In that diagram you should be able to see the link between the component and the PCB I'd. For example the U2 is the MCP3002 and so on. I believe this is also how I figured it out from the original schematics. I'll try to find the time to write a short readme and possibly add a picture of it. Unfortunately the project is in stand by for now but if you find improvements please create a PR.

HI,

Thank you for pointing out the PDF and the schematics. Those really helped! I read that you also added an I2C screen to the pedal. The reason I asked for an image was because I was uncertain how you wired that up and how it is positioned in the enclosure. I would really appreciate it if you would add a photo to the project just to clear those things up and to give an indication as to how a finished pedal looks.

Ah I see. Unfortunately the LCD is the one thing I did not wire yet. Just because the PCB I have has a bug (it is the very first version) and I did not want to waste components. If you look at the code there is also no support for the display yet. Also when converting the PCB for the RPi Pico I did not try to keep compatibility with the pi-pedal enclosure. The plan was to create a new enclosure to 3D print but I did.not get that far yet. If you want to use the original enclosure I suppose you would need to adjust some little things, nothing major I reckon.
