fd-8 footcontroller inconsistent

I guess you either made some error when soldering a resistor in viewtopic.php?p=28194#p28194 or there is something wrong with the pedal itself. I'd suggest you to measure voltage on the tip in open and closed positions when connected MegaDrum.

Also, make sure that AltIn in Pedal settings and the HiHat impedance switch position are matching.

The resistor is soldering between the tip and the ring of the jack that is pluging in the input of the pedal.
AltIn and HH impedance are matching...

And did you measure voltage?

And did you measure voltage?

No I've to, I'm at work at this moment. Can you tell me how I can do that with a voltmeter?
Thanks.

You just measure voltage between the tip (signal) and the sleeve(ground).

Could you please just tell me on what switch I've to put the voltmeter

Put it into 20V range.

Put it into 20V range.

I get : 0.44

In both open and closed positions? In that case something is not right with the HiHat controller or the cable.
Do you read around 5V between sleeve and the ring?

Rectification :
Between Tip and Sleeve open position : 0,28 (around)
Between Tip and Sleeve close position : 0,17 (around)
Between Ring and Sleeve open position : 4,73 (around)
Thanks

etween Tip and Sleeve open position : 0,28 (around)
Between Tip and Sleeve close position : 0,17 (around)

This is a very small difference. I suspect something is wrong with the controller. Disconnect the pedal from MegaDrum and measure resistance between sleeve and the tip in open and closed positions.
