Kicad schematics and pcb of the F&S Essential Shield

This shield is a very powerful tool for multiple purposes. It can be used in all kinds of applications, where you need analog input and analog output as well as digital in- and output. We use it very much in our audio applications. It is prepared for a display and and encoder and it can receive and send MIDI signals.

Specs: - Based on a cheap 'Blue-Pill' stm32f103c shield. - Up to 4 Analog outputs in the range of 0-10V - 8 analog /digital inputs (0-3.3V) - 4 Digital outputs (0-5V) - 3 digital inputs (0-3.3V) - 1 Gate/Trigger input (0-10V) - Midi in/out - Connector for KY 040 Encoder -…
