About the Control Panel Mega Shield

Control Panel Mega Shield is an open source AVR/Arduino PCB design by Enthusela, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 98.1 × 55.9 mm, with 6 components from 6 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the Arduino_Mega2560_Shield, from the AVR/Arduino family. By type, the board carries 3 connectors and 2 switches.

It belongs with the dev boards & breakouts, displays & leds and audio designs in this gallery.

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…

Control Panel Mega Shield: common questions

What microcontroller does the Control Panel Mega Shield use?

The Control Panel Mega Shield is built around the Arduino_Mega2560_Shield, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the Control Panel Mega Shield?

The Control Panel Mega Shield measures 98.1 × 55.9 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Control Panel Mega Shield?

6 components, from 6 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 Control Panel Mega Shield 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 Control Panel Mega Shield 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 Control Panel Mega Shield 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.
