Overview
Pcb Spotify is an open-source printed circuit board by salvas2011, from the salvas2011/Spotify-Record-Turner repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 68.5 × 84 mm with 6 parts on 45 nets, routed with 107 tracks and 18 vias.
It belongs with the radio and wireless boards of this library.
README
README.mdRFID Record Player — ESP32-S3
A modern record player that uses RFID-tagged vinyl coasters to control Spotify playback, powered by an ESP32-S3 and a custom PCB.
How it works
Place a tagged vinyl coaster on the platter. The RFID reader identifies the tag, looks up the mapped Spotify URI, and starts playback. A Hall effect sensor detects when the platter is spinning — remove the record and the music pauses automatically. A stepper motor keeps the platter spinning for the full vinyl experience.

Pin notes
- GPIO35, 36, 37 are reserved internally on the N8R8 variant (Octal PSRAM) — do not use
- GPIO0 and GPIO46 are strapping pins — avoid for general use
- GPIO19/20 are USB D-/D+ — avoid if using native USB

Questions
How big is the Pcb Spotify PCB?
It measures 68.5 × 84 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Pcb Spotify use?
6 parts. 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 Pcb Spotify KiCad files?
From the salvas2011/Spotify-Record-Turner repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Pcb_Spotify.kicad_pcb and its schematic Pcb_Spotify.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Pcb Spotify design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask salvas2011 before reusing the design.
