DaisyLab

This project is a work in progress and accompanies this Youtube Video for transforming a midi controller into a standalone instrument.

Includes KiCad hardware pcb and Gerbers, along with firmware for running synthesizers.

Currently requires modifying the daisy_petal.cpp and .h files before building libdaisy (modified files included in software/mod).

Questions

How big is the Daisylab v1 PCB?

It measures 54.7 × 57.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Daisylab v1 use?

22 parts, built around the H11L1. 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 Daisylab v1 KiCad files?

From the GuitarML/DaisyLab repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/daisylab_v1/daisylab_v1.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/daisylab_v1/AudioBuffers.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Daisylab v1 design in my own project?

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