It's on now

I was hesitant about making a SEQ because of the buttons, but I just found what I need in the scrap pile! Woo, buttons and panel mount midi connectors! Looking good now!

I want scrap piles like that too... Damn!

Anyone know how I can get an eagle library for something like these? I think it's going to make my life easier if I make a PCB.

Live dangerously and use vero like the ancients of yesterday did.

Well, I was going to, but I realized that if I were to make a 4x8 (or more) grid it will max out the vero that I have available to me. But I have some blank copper-clad that would be larger and might work better.

really?

This is what I used... cheap too.

There are some switches like that in the eagle Switch-misc library. I have the same or similar switches taken from old 911 call center equipment that I am using for my seq. I started on the vero board but I am currently working on a pcb. I got halfway through a 4x8 matrix board before I decided it probably would be easier in the long run and more reliable to make a pcb. I would have needed two of these for the entire Button duo led matrix.......I don't remember if that library is a stock library or one I dl'ed from cadsoft, and I think there were some other switch libraries with similar. Mine were Schadow switches and the lib I used was not a schadow lib, but there are many clones of this type of switch.

[napierzaza]

my switches are schadow to, thanks, i'll look for it

EDIT: do you know the name of the plug in? I didn't see anything that sounded like the module you mentioned.

ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/eagle/userfiles/libraries/switch-misc.lbr

And all the libraries on the cadsoft site are here:

Enjoy.

Weird, I had it installed already, I guess it's default in this version. Thanks for the link though! Very helpful.
