README.mdOrphBeatPad - A custom/open source Beat pad with awesome design!
V2 IS OUT!!
PDF is available in Zine folder!
I wanted to make an custom beat pad that you can plug in into your computer and its good to go!
I would say the motivation was discovering FRS Sensors and bc i love hardware too much.
It Exists since i want to get started with making MIDI Stuff and see how much it can cost!
This project is basicaly a beat pad that can sense how hard are you tapping the pads and, BUT the most special part about this is it has integrated esp32-s3-wroom 1 🫣
Notes:
- The FSR Sensors Does not use a breakout board!
- There are Silicon pads that i will have to invividualy place to act as buttons!
- we will be ussing flush cutters so we can fit things nicely!
- We will use a combination of reflow and manual soldering.

How to build it
a project thats been wating to be funded so it will relese soon!
But don't worry i can give you a rough idea how to make it!
-
Step 1 Make sure all of your materials are ready such as (PCB, Stencil, Compoments, Hot Plate, 3D printed Case) if not don't worry as you can buy the compoments online from digikey and Jlcpcb! Check the BOM cause it has links!
-
Step 2 Align the Stencil and spread solder Paste
-
Step 3 Gently remove the stencil then place all of your compoments to reflow it at the hot plate! (you can use a soldering iron if you think you can do it!) a little tip when placing start from smallest to biggest!\
-
Step 4 Reflow the board by making sure that the esp32 is in the middle!
-
Step 5 Now the Reflow is done start adding the compoments that need manual hand soldering, such as: Sk-mini-e, 16 channel Swicher, FSR sensor pads.
-
Step 6 Your PCB is assembled! Final step is to assemble with the case! To assemble the case (3 parts) get the bottom and middle super glue it, then after drying place the pcb inside, also make sure the external pins are cut with a flush cutter! Add the top case then superglue it or Use any M4 thread screw.
-
Step 7 Cut the Silicon Sheet into squares boxes then place it where the FSR Sensor holes are!
-
Final step is to Plug in the USB C cable and hope no smoke comes out.. If none good job! Flash it with the firmware i have provided :)
-
And thats your own OrphBeatpad! Enjoy tinkering with it!!

Where can I download the PCBOFBEATPAD KiCad files?
From the Axe-1st/OrphBeatPad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Main/PCB/PCBOFBEATPAD/PCBOFBEATPAD.kicad_pcb and its schematic Main/PCB/PCBOFBEATPAD/PCBOFBEATPAD.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the PCBOFBEATPAD design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Axe-1st before reusing the design.
