I was messing around with calibrating my 3D printer today (pro tip: pressure advance is a miracle) and while I was waiting for the test prints to print, I decided to replace the tact switches in the MPC 1000.
I really should have replaced them when I was in there the first time, but they gave every outward appearance of actually working. Oh how foolish I was to think that they would be reliably functional.
Luckily there's not that many of them and they're pretty easy to get to.
I also took the opportunity to swap in some diffuse LEDs now that my jumbo pack of diffuse 3mm LEDs came in.
This is most certainly an improvement, though it's a little hard to appreciate on camera.
The yellow and red buttons down here saw the biggest improvement from the diffuse LEDs.
The illumination is much more even, despite the camera making it look cartoonishly bad.
Anyway, replacing the LEDs and tact switches went well, thankfully there weren't too many of them to go through.
And with that, the unit is one step closer to being fully refreshed.
Though the pads themselves are misbehaving a little, so stay tuned for that I guess.
