About the Deck module

Deck module is an open source RP2040/RP2350 PCB design by Hibernathan1212, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 131.5 × 167.5 mm, with 51 components from 9 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the RaspberryPi_Pico, from the RP2040/RP2350 family. Other key parts include the CD74HC4067M. By type, the board carries 20 switches, 20 diodes, 3 capacitors, 1 IC, 1 module and 1 connector.

It belongs with the audio designs in this gallery.

A MIDI jogless DJ controller similar to the Native Instruments S8 and D2 and X1 and Z1. Planning for it to just be a midi controller with knobs for mixing and controlling loops as well as buttons for play/pausing and others usually found on dj decks. Follows a modular design with the deck modules (2 on other side) and the mixer module which will have controls for 4 audio channels.

Deck module: common questions

What microcontroller does the Deck module use?

The Deck module is built around the RaspberryPi_Pico, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the Deck module?

The Deck module measures 131.5 × 167.5 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Deck module?

51 components, from 9 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Deck module design files?

From the Hibernathan1212/dj-controller repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Deck module design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with Hibernathan1212. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Deck module without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug RP2040/RP2350 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
