Why

I find myself constantly tuning my audio mix from different apps through windows, and would like a panel to adjust levels on the fly. I also wanted to use this for mixing audio for music and video projects, so I included 8 channels. Each channel has a slider for feed volume, an encoder for monitoring volume, a solo button, and a mute button. Everything is remappable to select functions for your usecase. I also included 2 neopixels per channel, one for status, and one for leveling by color.

Assembly

Like Timeline, no case for this one CASE FILES AVAILABLE NOW, as I want that raw PCB aesthetic. Solder everything together, good luck with the SMD for the ADC and IO expander! Might do a case when I get to uni and have access to actually functional printers if I get tired of the pcb as is. As with my other projects recently, drop some 3M 2229 on the back to protect it/the table, and to keep it in place (I love this stuff).

Questions

How big is the Mix PCB?

It measures 203 × 119.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Mix use?

67 parts, built around the MCP3008-I/P and SK6812MINI-E. 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 Mix KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Mix design in my own project?

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