About the Pmg PCB
Pmg is an open source PCB design by 0x007E, published on GitHub under the CC-BY-NC-4.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 81.3 × 40.6 mm, with 56 components from 14 distinct parts.
By type, the board carries 23 resistors, 15 diodes, 10 transistors, 6 capacitors, 1 connector and 1 microphone.
It belongs with the audio designs in this gallery.
From the project
Level meter for recording acoustic signals
The pmg project is based on a pcb with an elektret microphone signal transistor (BC547) amplifier and a transistor stage for level signalization.
There are two parts of the hardware. The pcb and the housing of the PMG. The pcb is created with KiCAD and the housing with FreeCAD. All files are built with github actions so that they are ready for a production environment. The housing is printed with a 3D-printer (Dremel 3D40).
