Overview / Features
PENDA is designed to provide a range of audio effects through a user-friendly interface. The platform includes:
- Mono Input and Output: Simplified connectivity for easy integration into your audio setup.
- Momentary Footswitches: Two footswitches for hands-free operation of effects.
- 2-inch SPI Display: Featuring the ST7789 from Waveshare, providing a clear and compact user interface (other display options are available).
- MIDI Input: Allows for easy integration with MIDI controllers and other devices.
- Control Options:
- 4 Encoders with Pushbutton: For easy parameter adjustment and selection.
- 3 Analog Potentiometers: To control input levels and the Dry/Wet mix.
- Fully Analog Dry Circuit: Ensures a high-quality dry signal path, maintaining the integrity of your original sound.

Questions
How big is the PENDA PCB?
It measures 81.2 × 87.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the PENDA use?
44 parts, built around the OPA2134UA and H11L1. 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 PENDA KiCad files?
From the DADDesign-Projects/PENDA-Hardware repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PENDA/PENDA.kicad_pcb and its schematic PENDA/PENDA.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the PENDA design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask DADDesign-Projects before reusing the design.
