Who has the most handsome gut shots?


#1

Who can provide the most beautiful pictures of pots / switches wired nicely with header pins / connectors for me to emulate? Do I want to twist the three conductors to a pot or use shielding?

For a moment there, I thought you were seeking a collection of photo's of beer guts. LOL :grin:

Is there something you are looking for here ?
A certain neatness to aspire too, setup options etc ?

I'm not very neat, but more than happy to help with setup options..

I am looking to have 9 pots, a 10 position rotary switch, an expression pedal input, reserving 4 gpios for cv cuircuits later on. What are the best connectors to use on the circuit board? I have a 40 pin male header pin connector that i was thinking of using with female connectors crimped to wires soldered to the adjusty bits. Vdda and ground need to be shared with them all, what is the cleanest way of breaking those out into multiples? Would shielded mic cable be better to shunt noise to ground? What is best practice, or does it matter?

I'm using one of those prototype pcb boards to connect all my VDDA & GND together.

9 pots, x 1 analog input each. = 9 analog inputs
10 position rotary switch = 1 analog input
expression pedal = 1 analog input
1 VDDA
1 Ground
There should be a few positions available on the Axo to have all 13 side by side.
And there are plenty left for further mods.
A 13 pin male header.
A 13 pin female something to connect to male. I'm not much help with this one, my local electronics store is crappy with this so I salvage parts like this from throw aways.

You will find the details on how to wire the rotary switch here..


It works a treat, I wired up 8 footswitches the same way.

If you want to keep in neat and tidy, you could use some ribbon cable, or shrink rap wires into groups etc..
And yes, prototype pcb board and help keep it all organized, neat work @janvantomme. I usually cut mine down to only the smallest size I need, but something larger will also give plenty of room to make extra mods later.

Thanks for the pics and descriptions.
