Also writing code for an echorec

 

Okay, this might be a stupid question. but how exactly do you write code for delay pedals?? I doubt I'd ever be able to do it, just interested.


I guess making your own pedals is like being a farmer who never has to go to the grocery again.

Spin semiconductor came out with a kindaDSP thing a few years ago called the FV-1. It had a moment in the spotlight, but I think it had kind of died off from the DIY scenes I have seen. I'm still getting my mind around the code, but it isn't too bad. Besides soldering 28 SMD pins, it isn't bad and, at this point, there isn't a lot of supporting circuitry. This is one of my first coding projects, but I've geefed around with an arduino too.

How are people drilling their holes?


I make precise drill templates, use a punch, make pilot holes with a dremel, enlarge using hand drill with a Unibit, but I'm STILL getting some "wander". I just can't get the hole to be EXACTLY where I need it to be. Do I just have to get a drill press?

I'm using industrial double-sided tape in that one, yep. I dont think it's coming off anytime this century.


for designs with bigger PCBs I bolt it to the back plate, though that makes it a wiring hassle.

I know the answer is "use photoshop" but I don't have photoshop and even if i """ACQUIRED""" it I'd have no idea where to start...



How do I make my decals? I know how to print and transfer them; just not how to do it on the computer!

Well, just """acquire""" it (ie. download the 30-days trial from their homepage) and play around with it. You should be able to get something usefull within a day or so. Until you can buy a brainchip with all PS skillz, you have to learn it by yourself. Or get GIMP, it is the freeware pendant to PS.

Basically, find a graphic you like on the pedal and add some text to it would be the quickest way to get a decal design idn_smilie.gif
