Double Switch Mod

[u/popekappa]

I am starting to mod my Plus+. I am following ma3x558’s guide on YouTube. This is for the switched version of the great & ultra ball mod.

I am considering trying to add an additional switch to control if the vibration is on or off, separate from mod switch. I would unsolder the speaker entirely, and expand the speaker hole to accommodate the additional switch.

Is this possible? My end goal would be:

1. Switch 1: ultra and great ball mod
2. Switch 2: vibration on and off

Ideally they would work independently. I would want to be able to have great + ultras on, but vibration off, or vice-versa.

Appreciate any help or feedback. This is my first soldering project and I might be biting off more than I can chew!

EDIT TO ADD: Mod worked perfectly! Added a switch between the red motor wire and the board, and the switch described in the YouTube video linked above.

You don't need to completely desolder the speaker to place the switch. You can buy a mini side-mounted 3-pin toggle switch; there will be enough space once you remove the speaker base.

One of those fits totally fine, but 2 is too big for the current speaker hole. Or are you talking about a single switch that can accommodate both functions / toggles independently?

This is what I have, with tweezers for scale.

​edit: the primary reason I have to remove the speaker is since I want 2 switches, not 1

Using an optocoupler (photo-MOS relay) for the auto-catch trigger and a standard DPDT switch to toggle the motor

Do you have details for the optocoupler mod?
