Here's my latest project, although I'm still fighting with software fine-tuning. This pedal is mostly for guitar playing in the park, something small I can throw in my pack.
The original is an MAudio wired foot pedal. It sells for about $10. I kind of like the metal and the size but you have to make a few mods to use this for Bluetooth.
- I replaced the simple wire contact switch with a microswitch
- Removed the output cable
- Ground down a post and glued in a dual AAA battery holder
- Installed the Bluetooth circuit board
- Ground the nub of the power (formerly polarity) switch down to half its height so that the power wouldn't accidentally get turned on.
- Installed an LED in the back to indicate pairing
- Cut an opening in the top of the pedal for the BluRays to escape
- Replaced the original top tread with a thicker rubber one (because of the new hole)
Except for that, it's the same as stock.
