PENDAII: Platform for Effects oN DAisy
Welcome to the PENDAII project! This repository contains the schematics and PCB layouts created with KiCad 9.0 for a digital audio effects platform based on the Daisy-Seed board from ElectroSmith.

Overview / Features
PENDAII is the second version of the PENDA platform. It introduces stereo processing and improved management of signal paths and power supplies.
What’s New in PENDAII:
- Stereo processing: a second audio channel has been added for a wider and more immersive sound experience.
- Digital input volume control: the input gain is now precisely adjustable via a digital potentiometer.
- Digital Dry/Wet mix control: the ratio between the processed (wet) and original (dry) signal is digitally managed.
- 100% analog Dry path: although controlled digitally, the dry signal remains fully analog to preserve audio quality.
General Features:
- Mono or Stereo Audio Input/Output: flexible integration into various audio setups.
- Two momentary footswitches: for hands-free activation of effects.
- 2-inch SPI display: clean and compact user interface (compatible with most ST7789 displays).
- MIDI input: allows control via external MIDI devices.
- User controls:
- 4 encoders with push-button: for parameter navigation and adjustment.
- 3 analog potentiometers: for direct control of parameters such as input level or Dry/Wet mix.
Content
- The Fab directory contains all necessary files for fabrication.
- The PENDAII-Hardware directory contains the source files for the KiCad 9.0 project.
Software
PENDAII-Software is a collection of audio effects built on an advanced software architecture, specifically designed for the PENDAII hardware platform.

Questions
How big is the PENDAII Hardware PCB?
It measures 84 × 89 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the PENDAII Hardware use?
91 parts, built around the B1209S-2W, CS3310, NE5532 and OPA2132U. 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 PENDAII Hardware KiCad files?
From the DADDesign-Projects/PENDAII-Hardware repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PENDAII-Hardware.kicad_pcb and its schematic Alim_sch.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the PENDAII Hardware design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
