We have some extra units of the Arduino Shield. Please request it via contact@moddevices.com.

hey @ricardocrudo or @dwek… any thoughts on this (from a few months back)?:

plutek:

just noticing a small issue with the physical construction of the external footswitch…

to aid in my physical pedalboard mounting scheme, i need to remove one of the rubber feet. not a problem; just have to remove the bottom panel to undo the nut 'cuz the rubber feet use bolts rather than screws. when undoing the bottom panel screws i noticed that a lot of them were loose, and a couple wouldn’t thread out properly. then, when re-fastening the bottom panel, it’s clear that the screw-to-hole engagement is not tight and secure - they don’t screw in to a point at which they’re clearly tight and then stop. rather, you have to be very careful to only marginally tighten them or they’ll strip, and a few of them were already stripped.

inspecting at the screws, it looks pretty clear that it’s not the screws that are stripping, but rather the holes in the footswitch body. are you seeing this on other units?

Hi @plutek. Sorry for miss that. I’m adding your feedback to the manufacturer report I have done to evaluate the beta phase. Although it’s the first time this issue is reported we’ll let they know that the quality control need to be improved.
Thank you.

yeah, i think it’s always going to be an issue when the machine screws are threaded into sheet metal, as they are here. …should be threaded, thicker sections of metal on the main enclosure instead!
cheers!

Hi, are the arduino shields still available for purchase?
