Overview

PENDAII Hardware is an open-source printed circuit board by DADDesign-Projects, from the DADDesign-Projects/PENDAII-Hardware repository on GitHub, published under the MIT licence. It is a 2-layer board of 84 × 89 mm with 91 parts on 79 nets, routed with 788 tracks and 91 vias.

It is built around the B1209S-2W, CS3310 and NE5532, with the OPA2132U, AMS1117-3.3 and H11L1 among its other parts. Its parts include 34 capacitors, 27 resistors, 11 ICs, 8 connectors and 4 switches.

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).
