Phone dialling issue
Posted: Mon Nov 06, 2023 12:40 pm
Hi Justine and community, thank you for the awesome phone kit!
I haven't had any major issues with assembly but I seem to be having the problem of it only dialling a 1, 2 or 0.
From how I'm understand the rotary mechanism, I think this is down to the lever switch not being depressed fully by the cam gear on each rotation to send the number pulses. Not sure quite how to fix it without either bending the switch closer or possibly wrapping some kapton tape around it to increase its diameter but wanted to check before I do anything drastic to make sure I'm not missing something.
I also wanted to just double check the mechanism is rotating properly, it seems a little fast but not sure if I'm seeing things.

After this, next step is finding a SIM card (if anyone in Australia knows any sure-fire ones let me know!)
Looking forward to seeing it in action!
