Open source ?

[Salamandar]

Hello,

Your project was claimed as open source, but there is no source here, only Gerber and BOM.

Could you please push your Altium sources ? I'd love to convert them to a KiCAD project for more accessibility.

Hi,
I kinda understood how it's organized (the version number on the pdf files), and I discovered that the Gerber files are from v2 version. Where are the gerber from the v4.1 version ?

[Salamandar]

I also detected bugs on the v4.1 pdf. The pin 4 of the audio component should be connected according to the schematics, but it's not on the PCB pdf pages.

[Salamandar]

Also, the audio component is not WS8960 (as written on the issue), but WM8960.

@Salamandar Thank you for your report. I believe pin 4 of WM8960 is connected in latest version of the schematics (4.3) which have yet to be uploaded on GH. This is a work in progress!

@Salamandar / Regarding the open source question : yes we will push the Altium sources as soon as we believe we have a final PCB.

[Salamandar]

@232enero Thanks. That will allow people who didn't get a kit to build their own.
Also, I started to rewrite the project on a more opensource-friendly CAD software, KiCAD. But without the latest design, I can't do much ;)

@Salamandar We also offer, for free, PCB for those who can solder SMT components (no stencil though...).

[Salamandar]

@232enero I'm not afraid of very small SMD, but without a soldering station you can't solder the mics.
You could have done a footprint with long pads accessible from around the component to allow handsoldering ;) (a bit like QFN)
