Build

The HOG is a very fun but equally advanced electronics project. It's fully open source and we've put together a build guide for the brave ones who decide to build one. Let us know if you have questions and definitely share some pics of your builds (follow Shmøergh on Instagram).

Open build guide →

BOMs

The HOG consists of 5 separate boards which you can find in the boards folder. Each board has it's own gerber files for JLCPCB PCB and Mouser BOMs in the board's production folders. The Core and Filter boards have SMD components too for which you can find JLCPCB assembly files (BOM and position) in the production/jlcpcb folder.

Cloning

The MIDI2CV module uses pico-lib submodule. Make sure you clone the repo like with its submodules:

git clone --recurse-submodules git@github.com:shmoergh/hog.git

Questions

How big is the Hog PCB?

It measures 284 × 185.5 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.61 mm thick.

What parts does the Hog use?

210 parts, built around the TL072, SJ1-3554NG, CD4053BE and LM336Z5. 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 Hog KiCad files?

From the shmoergh/hog repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is boards/ui/ui.kicad_pcb and its schematic boards/core/experimental/core.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Hog design in my own project?

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