Hi Guys,

I have order the Sword board from kate (i love it) but the mode button is to short.
I know that Kite wright on his Github that he know its to short en there is a solution, you can order it on ali express.
But i dont want to wait 6 weeks.
We have in holland Conrad company, if i order it 1 day delivery.
But the problem is i dont know what kind of switch it is.
Ali express dont give any informatie about that.
I see a lot of switches.
Most are 12V is that okay?
The switch need Normally open function like this?

I am having problems understanding your questions.

First, you are asking what size you need for the mode switch, right? I believe it comes with 6x6x6 or 6x6x5 switches. You will want a longer one so maybe try 8 mm. You can also buy a set like this: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01 ... UTF8&psc=1

Unfortunately, just like many cheap things, you might have to buy many more than you actually need. If you were in America, I could send you some since I have extras.

What is wrong with your fan?

As first thank you for your help.
Thank you for the offer but i live in Holland.
I think its ready expensive en iT takes to long to send.
If i order iT heer i have iT in one day.
But Evert switch i see here they need 24v and the battery gives 3,7 volt.
Is this important or not, can you tell me?
Do you know the height is VROM the Original?
I think i need a 6x6x6.

Therme is nothing wrong with the fan but i dont know how to install this.
I have a heatsink on the chip.
And i know how to connect the wires on the board.
Please let me know.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi, the original switch is 6x6x6 I believe but it doesn't matter because it's too short. Please get a longer one. Maybe 6x6x8. Don't worry about the voltages. There is not that much energy going through the switch. 12V DC is more than OK!

As for the fan, there are clear instructions here: https://github.com/kiteretro/Circuit-Sw ... d-Heatsink

Solder the two wires to the top of the board where it says FAN

Did you receive this from my latest order (as in you have just received the package?). If so, you will find there are 2x switches in the bag, one is a 6x6x5, and the other is a 6x6x6 .. use the slightly longer one and that should fit better. Ignore the other one (long story, company sent the wrong one, so now you get both!).

As for the fan, your board should have a connector already in the top corner, it plugs in there. If you have the V1.1E board, you will need to cut the cable and solder as shown in that picture that you have linked.

For mode button, see wiki: https://github.com/kiteretro/Circuit-Sw ... e-out-much

And for physically attaching the fan, double sided foam tape is best. There is a 3D printed bracket from hoolyhoo and deberere as an alternative.
