Features

  • 1080p Full Colour screen!
  • 1 button
  • Rotary encopder
  • SD card reader
  • headphone jack
  • Full Bluetooth and WiFi capabilities!

This project consists of 2 main parts, the PCB and CAD. The PCB was designed in KiCAD, while the CAD was made in Onshape. This project is fully open source for NON COMMERCIAL purposes.

CAD

made in onshape! fits together with friction, but has screw holes in case your printer isnt as accurate. it uses 1 3d printed button, any colour you choose!

schematic diagram!

took me way too long, its quite simple. look to this while soldering to know what's going on! I used labels instead of wires but remember that labels that have the same text are electrically connected.

PCB

made in kicad! what the pcb looks like: (everything is a thru hole component so they can easily be hand-soldered.)

Questions

How big is the Muse - The Modern iPod PCB?

It measures 84.3 × 56.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Muse - The Modern iPod use?

15 parts, built around the PCM5102APW. 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 Muse - The Modern iPod KiCad files?

From the RishitJain-dev/Muse repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/Muse - The Modern iPod.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/Muse - The Modern iPod.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Muse - The Modern iPod design in my own project?

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