A haxophone is an electronic musical instrument that resembles a saxophone. It is designed to be an inexpensive and fully customizable travel saxophone. You will never get the same expressiveness or depth of sound of a real saxophone. But with a haxophone you should be able to play alone or with friends…

Haxo hw: common questions
What microcontroller does the Haxo hw use?
The Haxo hw is built around the RASPBERRY_PI_2_3, from the Raspberry Pi family.
How big is the Haxo hw PCB?
The Haxo hw measures 102.4 × 211.3 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Haxo hw?
38 components, from 14 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Haxo hw design files?
From the cardonabits/haxo-hw repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Haxo hw design in my own project?
It is published under Custom license, which limits how it may be reused; read the license before building on it.
Can I test firmware for the Haxo hw without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug Raspberry Pi firmware against it before you order a PCB.
