Change button parts

[harupipapaZZZ]

The current button is a button switch with LED, can I change it to a normal button (tact switch without LED)? This is because the LED is not visible when you press the button and is cheaper to manufacture than using a button with an LED.

Can I use two regular LEDs and connect "LED_BUTTON_A", "LED_BUTTON_B" and "GND"?

Do I need to change the source code?

I am wondering if it is possible to use a thin tact switch instead of the specified waterproof LED button. The main body BOX can also be made thinner. (Isn't one LED actually enough?)

I belive this is possible and no need two change the code.

thank you

There was a long wait for the parts I ordered from MONSTER due to export procedures. It will finally arrive tomorrow.

When the parts arrive, I will try to make a temporary connection to check the operation.

My first version is working. I recommend reading all issues. What will be the usage for your MotoButtons? I will use it for MyRoute-App.

Mainly DMD2, but I also want to use ROADBOOK and music with R1200GS. I look forward to adding more modes.

The R1200GS has a large left switch area, so I would like to make it thinner if possible.

P.S. Do I need to press the chip reset button when updating? Is it not enough to just use a button switch with an LED? I would like to embed it if possible to make it waterproof.

We are considering creating the case using a 3D printer. If I come up with a good design, I'll share it.

It is still a prototype, Smaller with tact buttons and joystick

There are no waterproof caps for tact buttons on the market, so I made a mold out of silicon.

Cool, I like the tiny buttons. What buttons are this exactly? And how did you do the silicon covers?

ALPS tactswitch "SKRGAED010"

Based on this, we made a 3D drawing covering the entire switch and Print it with a 3D printer (UV curing for precision)

Put the finished product in a mold to create a silicon mold (top and bottom) Then pour the silicon into the mold and shape it. It takes a tremendous amount of time and effort.

This is a leftover from a previous project.

Since there are two LEDs, they take up a lot of space. It would be nice to have only one LED because it would make the design more compact.

Currently designing a vertically aligned body

I am not sure what the second LED is for. I know the LED on Zoom + indicates the 3 modes. Maybe Jon can answer this.

Hi, I've been quite busy at work, but I plan to revisit development soon. I agree, the LED buttons are a pain because you can't see the light when you press the switch. Since the LED is just a separate set of terminals, you can use different buttons and easily wire up a separate LED somewhere else.

Where did you find the joystick? Is it waterproof?
