Overview

ESP32S2 MIDI is an open-source printed circuit board by jildertviet, from the jildertviet/ESP32S2_MIDI_controller repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 100 × 100 mm with 29 parts on 46 nets, routed with 206 tracks and 23 vias.

It is built around the ESP32-S2-WROVER-I(4M) and WS2812B. Its parts include 9 capacitors, 4 resistors, 2 ICs, 2 connectors and 2 switches. It belongs with the audio and music boards and the ESP32 boards of this library.

ESP32S2_MIDI_controller

ESP32S2 based MIDI controller with 5 sliders
It uses the internal DAC of the ESP32 which is quite unstable for this purpose.

!!! So I recommend to redesign the board with an external DAC, a MCP3008 for example.

(I've stabilized the output with a Kalman filter.)

Known issues

  • Missing a ground plane
  • Noisy values from ADC
  • Footprint of sliders isn't perfect

Dependancies

  • ESP32-S2-WROVER symbol & footprint from snapEDA
  • SimpleKalmanFilter Arduino lib
  • midiusb.h
  • Maybe some more symbols (ME6211?)

Hardware

Sliders used (Tinytronics.nl) (had to bend the pins a little bit)

Questions

How big is the ESP32S2 MIDI PCB?

It measures 100 × 100 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the ESP32S2 MIDI use?

29 parts, built around the ESP32-S2-WROVER-I(4M) and WS2812B. 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 ESP32S2 MIDI KiCad files?

From the jildertviet/ESP32S2_MIDI_controller repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCad/Internal/ESP32S2_MIDI.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the ESP32S2 MIDI design in my own project?

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