From the project

An open-source, hand-built, tactile, home-brew smart-home hub with analog PC audio monitoring and control.

An open-source, hand-built, tactile, home-brew smart-home hub with analog PC audio monitoring and control.

ARGB LED device control with HSV and color-temperature control modes App-based volume mixing in Windows, including OS/Game/Discord channels Motorised knobs enable multiple control modes on a single set of inputs Mains power control: Toggle switches control mains power to the PC, monitors, and speakers via rental-safe RF-based remote-control mains outlets. Analog audio monitoring: PC soundcard connects to VU meters and IN-9 Nixie Tubes for level and 3-band spectrum monitoring…

ARGB Board: common questions

What microcontroller does the ARGB Board use?

The ARGB Board is built around the Arduino_UNO_R3, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the ARGB Board?

The ARGB Board measures 75.2 × 53.6 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the ARGB Board?

61 components, from 18 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 ARGB Board design files?

From the Enthusela/DesktopControlPanel 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 ARGB Board design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with Enthusela. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the ARGB Board without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug AVR/Arduino firmware against it before you order a PCB.
