  • Silkscreen text for MIDI controller inputs
  • Git revision is added to schematics and PCB
  • Pull-up resistors for I2C bus
  • Two more mounting holes (for development)
  • 3D model for JST (Stemma)
  • One more mounting hole in the center
  • User (Test) LED on RP2040
  • EEPROM for storing configuration

Changed

  • Change title to Open Pedalboard Mainboard

Please find the artifacts here: https://github.com/pedalboard/pedalboard-hw-site/tree/v3.1.1/latest or in generated_outputs-3.1.1.zip

Added

  • Stemma connector for displays (Be aware that there are no external pull-up resistors on the outputs yet!)
  • Switch for boot mode and reset of RP2040
  • 2 more LED rings for rotary encoders

Changed

  • Min. through hole size is 0.3mm
  • Increase activity LED resistor to reduce brightness
  • Stemma compatibility for LED out
  • Smaller JST PH connectors for MIDI IN/OUT

Fixed

  • Fix USB boot mode bug (wrong wiring)
  • Fix CM4 Power LED (invert logic)
  • Use power supply based on CM4 IO Board V5
  • Decrease stencil sizes (10%) for RP2040- and CM4 connector pads

Cost Optimization Pre-release
Pre-release

Please find the artifacts here: https://github.com/pedalboard/pedalboard-hw-site/tree/v3.0.1/v3.0.1 or in generated_outputs-3.0.1.zip

IMPORTANT: The power supply section requires rework. Version 3.0.1 can only be powered with 5V

Changed

  • Use SMD components for MIDI I/O
  • Use SMD actuator buttons
  • Use concrete PSU implemented with SMD components.
  • Use MOS FET instead of diode for reverse polarity protection.
  • Use official solder jumper instead of homegrown PCB fuses.
  • Increase size of PCB and use 5V zone around the edges.
  • Use Connector_JST (XH) for MIDI and LED Ext.
  • Directly interface CM4 (Remove CM4 Nano carrier)
  • Replace the Pico by directly use RP2040
  • Increase slot size to (restriction of PCBway)

Added

  • Compatibility with the Hammond Manufacturing 1590DD case.
  • Additional analog (EXP 2) input
  • Fidcuials for PnP
  • Alternative screw terminal for power input

LED rings Pre-release
Pre-release

Please find the artifacts here: https://github.com/pedalboard/pedalboard-hw-site/tree/v2.1.0 or in generated_outputs-2.1.0.zip

Added

Changed

  • Use of SMD Spacers
    under the foot buttons for improved mechanical stabilty.
  • The power supply for LEDs from 3.3V to 5V. Allows the use of much larger LED matrices.
  • Therefore, a level shifter from 3.3V to 5V had to be added.

Full Changelog: v2.0.0...v2.1.0

Please find the artifacts here: https://github.com/pedalboard/pedalboard-hw-site/tree/v2.0.0

Added

  • Silkscreen information for connectors to avoid having to refer to the schematics
  • Reverse power protection circuit added to Power input.
  • Power Raspberry Pico from 5V power supply
  • Add internal MIDI connection to free up USB.

Changed

  • BOM: Change LEDs which support 3.3V
  • INCOMPATIBLE: Swap SW A with SW D to cleanup connections

Full Changelog: v1.0.2...v2.0.0
