Soldering - Foot Switches
Insert and secure the first foot switch into the enclosure. You can use a 14 mm socket to tighten the nut.
All of the foot switches are going to share a ground connection. Run a short wire between the first two switches and solder the wire in place.
Continue this ground wire daisy chaining between all of the foot switches. At the fourteenth switch, run a longer ground wire that is about 4 inches in length. This wire will connect to the Pico 2 GND connection.
Each remaining solder lug on each foot switch will have a wire connected to a GPIO pin on the Pico 2. Start with the last switch with a wire that is about 3 inches long.
The wires that will be closer to the Pico 2 can be about 3 inches long and will gradually get longer the further away from the Pico 2. These should be about the length of the enclosure.
