Octave module
About the Octave module
Octave module is an open source PCB design by lxdinh, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 169.5 × 12 mm, with 27 components from 5 distinct parts.
By type, the board carries 12 LEDs, 12 capacitors and 3 connectors.
From the project
Custom PCB hardware controller integrated with a responsive LED strip, designed to provide real-time feedback for interactive piano instruction
This is a handoff bundle from Claude Design (claude.ai/design).
A user mocked up designs in HTML/CSS/JS using an AI design tool, then exported this bundle so a coding agent can implement the designs for real.
Read the chat transcripts first. There are 2 chat transcript(s) in chats/. The transcripts show the full back-and-forth between the user and the design assistant — they tell you what the user actually wants and where they landed after iterating. Don't skip them. The final HTML files are the output, but the chat is where the intent lives.

Octave module: common questions
How big is the Octave module?
The Octave module measures 169.5 × 12 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Octave module?
27 components, from 5 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 Octave module design files?
From the lxdinh/Piano_Prof 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 Octave module design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with lxdinh. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
