Overview

Anarchytechnobox is an open-source printed circuit board by edwindertien, from the edwindertien/foundscape repository on GitHub. It is a 4-layer board of 132.6 × 100 mm with 292 parts on 234 nets, routed with 2,086 tracks and 552 vias.

It is built around the 74LVC1G126Z, DRV8245SQPWPRQ1 and ADPL54203ES8E#PBF, with the XL-1010RGBC-2812B, BAT54AW and PJ-3220-Y among its other parts. Its parts include 107 capacitors, 68 resistors, 18 diodes, 15 connectors and 14 ICs. It belongs with the audio and music boards of this library.

midi control of things that tap and go boink. The basic structure consists of a midi-interface that takes data from Ableton (or similar) and sends events to 'dimmer cards' - being called like that because initially they mostly controlled LED light.

Two behaviours exist on the main board right now which can be set using a small dip switch: either pulse-lenght or pwm duty cycle as third 'velocity' argument in a MIDI command.

current version (still in operation) uses an ATmega328 (started out with the ATmega8 and then the ATmega88 in WinAVR. now it uses the Arduino environment). In the meantime a version has been made using Teensy, but has not been further pursued / produces (when Teensies were made of nonobtanium). On the wishlist a new version with pico

modules

  • actuators 3D printfiles for solenoid holders
  • atmegaDimmer first generation dimmer/control box, using RS485(dynamixel) protocol, using ATmega328
  • RS485adapter RS485 - midi interface using ATmega32U4 (Arduino micro, native USB)
  • teensyDimmer update of dimmer/control box, using Teensy 4.0. build, not tested
  • picoDimmer new (to be designed) version of the dimmer/control box using RPI Pico 2040/2350

Questions

How big is the Anarchytechnobox PCB?

It measures 132.6 × 100 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.66 mm thick.

What parts does the Anarchytechnobox use?

292 parts, built around the 74LVC1G126Z, DRV8245SQPWPRQ1, ADPL54203ES8E#PBF and XL-1010RGBC-2812B. 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 Anarchytechnobox KiCad files?

From the edwindertien/foundscape repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is anarchitechno-box/kicad/anarchytechnobox.kicad_pcb and its schematic anarchitechno-box/kicad/MIDI.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Anarchytechnobox design in my own project?

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