A177.2 foot switch wiring

2013-04-30 by neal_beard_ahm

Hello all.

I'm making a double footswitch to use with my a177.2 module.

I have two NC push to break foot switches going to a TRS 1/4inch stereo jack out but was wondering how to wire it?

Looking at the a170 manual: switch 2 is tip, switch 1 is ring and ground is sleeve but which connections do the NC switches break/make?

I'm guessing that the tip and ring are wired to ground though the foot switches, with the foot switches breaking the connection when pressed?

Thanks,

Neal

Hello Neal,

a closed switch generates a low gate output, an open switch generates a high
gate output. Everything else depends upon the wiring of your switches with
the A-177-2 sockets.

Best wishes

Dear Dieter,

Many taking the time to reply in person.

My homemade footwitch controller is now all wired up and working nicely with the A177.2 - a great way to expand interation with my A100 system!

Regards,

Neal
