30hp Drumkit module

Eurorack DrumKit module with an Arduino Nano ESP32 3 channel wave-file player and analog Hi-Hat and Kick Drum sections.

The WAV Files are read from a microSD card and need to be called "1.wav", "2.wav" and "3.wav". The files need to be mono, encoded in 16-bit and have 16kHz sampling rate. You can use Audacity to export wav files in this format.

Questions

How big is the MiniDrumkit2 PCB?

It measures 281.1 × 236.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the MiniDrumkit2 use?

239 parts, built around the LM13700M, TL072, AMS1117-3.3 and PCM5102PW. 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 MiniDrumkit2 KiCad files?

From the Fihdi/MiniDrumkit repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is MiniDrumkit2/MiniDrumkit2.kicad_pcb and its schematic MiniDrumkit2/Hat.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the MiniDrumkit2 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).
