Overview

WDM(RevB V1) is an open-source printed circuit board by ColbyDAllen, from the ColbyDAllen/Wearable-Drum-Machine repository on GitHub. It is a 4-layer board of 61 × 68.8 mm with 114 parts on 157 nets, routed with 1,074 tracks and 154 vias.

It is built around the MCP73871EV, PAM8302AASCR and SGTL5000XNBA3R2, with the W25Q128JVSIQ, KMR211GLFS and SJ-3542AS-SMT-TR-67 among its other parts. Its parts include 43 resistors, 20 capacitors, 10 diodes, 9 connectors and 7 ICs.

This project is mostly complete. Until I can find a more suitable input/sensory solution, please consider this work on hiatus.

This project is still in development.

On the hardware side, I'm focused on creating more reliable FSR finger sensors. Weather resistant (magentic charger?) enclosure design is backlogged.

On the circuitry side, I'm designing a custom PCB that incorporates power management, sensor/usb/programmig ports, and an embedded speaker module.

On the software side there's a number of backlogged tasks. I want to fine-tune / build-out the MIDI looping functionality and create a richer way to sequence these patterns. Variable tempo control in standalone operation (via rotary encoder) is also backlogged.


04/01/2024 | Regarding software/code: Until I've split these up into functional sections, the .ino sketches will build on each other in the following order:

  1. FSR Input
  2. SMF File Storage
  3. MIDI Looper

Questions

How big is the WDM(RevB V1) PCB?

It measures 61 × 68.8 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the WDM(RevB V1) use?

114 parts, built around the MCP73871EV, PAM8302AASCR, SGTL5000XNBA3R2 and W25Q128JVSIQ. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the WDM(RevB V1) KiCad files?

From the ColbyDAllen/Wearable-Drum-Machine repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Version 1/Hardware/E-CAD/WDM(RevB_V1).kicad_pcb and its schematic Version 1/Hardware/E-CAD/WDM(RevB_V1).kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the WDM(RevB V1) design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ColbyDAllen before reusing the design.
