[ukvac] Tech: Leafswitches - How to...
hi..

After replacing some buttons on my UK Track N Field cabinet, I was a bit
dissapointed on how well the new buttons responded.

For all you who use microswitches.. you can skip this email as I only want
to use leafs on this cab.

Any way my question is this.. (how ever crap it might be)

Is there a correct or non correct way of installing leafswitches onto
control panels?

I mean, Is there an ideal gap setting like in setting up your spark plugs on
a car?

Ive always just popped them in and accepted how they respond.

Although I have seem them on ppls cabs, with gaps,bends,etc.

Advice?

I think thats up to you really .... what I do is bend the whole thing up by
pushing it towards the button, so that the button is basically being held up
by the force of the leaf switch pushing against it, then I get the lower
leaf and bend it back so that its roughly 1mm away from the top leaf, that
gives a very responsive press as soon as you touch the button.

The great things about leafs are that you can set them up how _YOU_ like
them
