nice work

what is the button cluster (4 arrows and OK) called ? - I have tried to find one with no luck, don't know the correct name..

These took a long time to find when we were working on the controls for the pedal but I eventually found two suppliers, one was Farnell and the other is RS components

Thank you.Also after compiling its showing only 1kb size of the hex file.Is it correct.Please let me know.

Yes 1k hex file size is correct.

Hello, just discovered this thread and have a couple of questions for Ice-9

Are the boards for FV-1 still available at OSHpark? I searched for them but there appears to be only the
SKRM riser.

And, re the Nebula, will you be making the patches from the FV-1 available for the Nebula, and from Gold Mine too?

What a great resource this is - thank you for  a very enjoyable few hours reading it through - and several side threads too.

As someone who has played guitar for over 50 years and never ever gigged with a pedal board (only ever a single pedal or a single multi-fx unit upto a POD HD) I am now enjoying building some pedals for inspiration and wondering if I should go with board as they are so much fun!

I DO like the way multi-fx allow you to switch patches with no fiddling with knobs, though. Any chance you can retro fit a midi input for the Baby Blue and Gold Mine? 

Best regards

Cliff

Hi Cliff, the FV-1 pcb is still showing in my OSHpark list so I am not sure why you can't find it. To be honest it could do with a few updates/improvements which I will see if I can do and re upload the project board to OSH park.
At the moment I don't have much free time after the release of the Blue Nebula pedal I am working 7 days a week to just try and get Nebula pedals built.

The Baby Blue and the goldmine are pretty much crammed inside of the small box so no way to add midi control to these.

I will try and update the pcb for the fv-1 project and place all the files here, but it may take a week or two.

Thanks for speedy reply - I guessed you'd be busy being midwife to a new brood 

I'll check OSHpark again.

OK found them now - I was searching on Ice-9, but they all show up when I search FV-1

Cheers

Great, I'm glad you found them, I still may do a MK2 version of the project with some updates and possibly add another potentiometer so that it will have 3 FV-1 controls and a separate level pot with the dry signal being totally analogue.
It may be best if I start a new thread for a MK2 as it is quite difficult to find everything in this thread as it has grown quite large now.

[cliffsp8]

In that case I'll look out for the new thread on Mk2 version. In the mean time I need to get some more practice in  SMD soldering and find out more on FV-1 programming. I've done a couple of ATtiny and Arduino projects and some C programming and I'm looking forward to this.

Cheers
Cliff

Hi Mick...

A couple of questions:

-Do you have plans to release an Mk2 in the near future?
-Do you still have any PCB laying around with SMD ICs already in?...

I would like to start playing with the FV-1 in a stompbox form, but SMD is kind of freightening to me....

Another alternative I'm considering is to get an EHX holy stain and modify it... but I would prefer something smaller.

Hi Mat,
1. near future yes,
2. None of the original boards left i'm afraid.

QUESTION -  I will start a MK2 board this week, but how about we throw this open to suggestions on what to add to the specs. board layout, enclosure size, off/on board hardware etc. Although open to any suggestions I won't be adding micro/lcd automation to this one.

Thanks Mick for the answer...

Then I will sit and wait for Mk2(and participate as much as possible in the thread)

Yes you can use a 1p4t switch for 4 effects or for 8 effects use a 1p8t switch. you need to make a resistor ladder between each switch position and also one resistor at each end to ground and 3.3v. Then use the common to connect to the PIC input.

Thanks Ice-9

there is the possibility to buy only the etap2hw files so I can record my pedal?

Hello guys, I really want to start with digital stuff, but I seem to be an idiot who can not find FV-1 anywhere

Can you point me to some sources, like farnell and so on?

Or can you give me full name of this chip?

Thnx

[slacker]

There's a list of distributors here http://www.spinsemi.com/distributors.html
