Overview
PiDrummer AD Board is an open-source printed circuit board by LudovicLemarinel, from the LudovicLemarinel/piDrummer repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 79 × 80.5 mm with 56 parts on 39 nets, routed with 336 tracks and 0 vias.
It is built around the BAT85. Its parts include 32 resistors, 16 diodes, 2 ICs and 2 connectors.
Main components
1README
README.mdpiDrummer
piDrummer is a DIY drum trigger device. it uses an Arduino and some basic components to get the signal from your pads (AKA triggers) and send them to a Raspberry Pi 3.
A Raspberry Pi 3 is used to play sounds according to the triggers you hit.
Thanks to CPU power of a such board computer (4x1.2 Ghz), it is possible to play the best sound quality !
The rPi is also driving an ILI9341 TFT screen (320x240 pixels, can be found as cheap as 5$ on ebay ) and displays an interface that allows you to set up your different drum kits, the volume, sound effects (reverb, equalizer, etc...), and map each trigger to an instrument.
The goal is also to build an embedded linux, with the smallest possible kernel, allowing for very small boot time !
piDrummer (Version Française)
piDrummer est un module de batterie électronique à fabriquer soi-même.
Il utilise un module Arduino et quelques composants pour récupérer le signal depuis les PADS (aussi appelés Triggers), et envoie ces informations à une carte Raspberry Pi 3.
La carte est alors utilisée pour jouer les sons en fonction des coups donnés.
Grâce à la puissance de calcul disponible sur la carte (4x1.2 Ghz), un rendu sonore de haute qualité est possible !
La carte rPi est aussi utilisée pour piloter un afficheur TFT (320x240 à base de puce ILI9341, qu'on peut acheter sur Ebay pour moins de 5€) afin de régler et choisir vos différents kits, le volume, les effets sonores (reverb, équaliseur, etc...) et mapper chaque trigger à un instrument.
Le but du projet est aussi de monter un système linux embarqué (linux Embedded) avec un noyau le plus léger possible, et un temps de démarrage le plus faible possible !

Questions
How big is the PiDrummer AD Board PCB?
It measures 79 × 80.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the PiDrummer AD Board use?
56 parts, built around the BAT85. 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 PiDrummer AD Board KiCad files?
From the LudovicLemarinel/piDrummer repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware/piDrummer_AD_Board.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the PiDrummer AD Board design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask LudovicLemarinel before reusing the design.
