How to Build a Robot - The BeetleBot v2 ( Revisited )

Step 3 The BeetleBot v2 ( Revisited ) - Mouting the switchs to the battery holder

The SPDT switchs position is the new twist in this design.

You are going to cross the antenna so that nothing can get stuck between a chair leg like the old design.

Glue them together like in the picture. Hot glue will do.

[bat_wave]

one of my SPDT switches has a click sound when I press it but the other doesn't...does this mean my spdt switch without the click sound is spoilt?

[robomaniac]

was it making noise before? Are they the same brand? Do you have the terminal connectors installed on the switch when you test? remove everything and test again. Be sure that the metal lever press against the body. Some manufacturer switch make noise some don't ( very little noise ) The best way to test this, it to use a multimeter between N and NO or NC and see if you multumeter "beeps" when you press the switch have fun!
