Greetings :D Thought these might be interesting. Simple to use, simple on the outside, not so much on the inside;

You will more than likely find quite a bit more in the way of stuff on the otherside of the PCB that you have not removed from the enclosure. Loopers like this are so cheap to buy and to do as DIY would cost a hell of a lot more in time and money and size. :hmmm:
It's fairly straight forward, if you want to start it , press start. You can work out the rest of the controls for yourself !

No silicon heaven ? preposterous ! Where would all the calculators go ?

I'm curious, anybody know a way of re-writing the control code on these ?

Yeah, you grab it via jtag or using micro probes, decompile it, rewrite and flash it back into mcu or external memory.

Not sure if anyone can do anything with this schematic, but maybe it is good for learning. I acquired a broken one and it seems like the MCU no longer works, they want like $70 for a new PCB. Before I post this, is there a marking on schematics indicating the source, don't want to out the person that gave them to me.

What format are the files? JPG can save author information in the metadata, but this can easily be erased and resaved.
If you're extremely paranoid, you can always screenshot the images, then it would only show you as author.
But really, unless your friend put their info in the metadata of the files, there's no worry. If its a file made by the manufacturer, it won't show it having had passed through any one else's hands unless they edited it.

If you see anything that would indicate a source let me know. Here it is.

Thanks for posting.
All the property fields for Title, Author, etc are blank. There's nothing showing who created it or anything.

Not much that you can do with it but hopefully it is useful for people fixing pedals.
