→Using AllInOne module or Zynscreen display (MCP23017)
==Using All-In-One module or Zynscreen display (MCP23017)==
The All-In-One circuit (or the Zynscreen display) can be easily tweaked for adding up to 4 extra switches that can be used for a panic button, a sustain pedal or other MIDI-CC switches (very useful for SooperLooper!).

===Example 1: Adding a "Panic Button" to an official v2 zynthian===
You could add a panic button to your zynthian box. Simply make a hole, install the switch-button and connect it to SW-1's pins 1 & 2.

Next, configure the actions in the webconf tool as follow:
* Type: Ui Action

===Example 2: External 3 switches pedal + sustain pedal===
Our dear friend, @wolfpaw98, has developed this amazing pedal set. He use a MIDI connector (DIN-5) for making available the 5 pins from the case. The main pedal is connected to the DIN-5, and a Jack-mono connector is used for connecting the sustain to the main pedal.

==Zynthian without encoders using legacy 2in1 module for Extra Switches==
You can configure a zynthian without controllers (encoders+switches) for using an ancient 2in1 module to get up to 4 extra switches that you can bind to CUIA or MIDI actions.
This is the wiring layout configuration you have to setup in webconf tool:

{{NoteBox|As the 2in1 module doesn't use the MCP23008's INTA pin, switches are detected by polling, so i strongly recommend to only configure the pins you are actually using.}}
==Using free RBPi GPIO pins as Extra Switches==
In the same way, you can configure any free RBPi GPIO pins as extra switches. You only have to configure the "Switches Pins" in the webconf tool.
