About the Math-Module
Math-Module is an open source PCB design by carl-becker, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 60 × 60 mm, with 40 components from 20 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the TL072 and TL074. By type, the board carries 18 resistors, 5 capacitors, 2 ICs and 1 connector.
It belongs with the audio designs in this gallery.
From the project
DIY analog modular synth
- Get to know delicious circuits (experimenting a lot) - Use them in crude ways to generate sounds - Learn how to design circuits & professionally manufacture them with KiCad - Learn whats possible with analog circuits and what's not - Have a lot of fun without the need of programming
- Get an overview of electronic parts out there - Manage a big project - Make ambient dub techno at the end lol
