From the project

Recreate the sound of mechanical spinning HDDs on retro PCs that use a solid state drive

Inspired by seeing the HDD Clicker project and wanting to more faithfully recreate the sound of old mechanical hard drives spinning up and accessing data. Because the hard drive sounds come from samples, it's possible to replace them with any hard drive recording you'd like or something completely different!

- Sample based recreation of mechanical hard disk drives operating sounds - Spin up when PC is turned on - Idle hum whilst standing by - Access clicks and crackcles - Spin down when PC is turned off - SD card to hold multiple HDD sample packs, to recreate the sound of different…

RP2350A QFN-60 Minimal Design Example: common questions

What microcontroller does the RP2350A QFN-60 Minimal Design Example use?

The RP2350A QFN-60 Minimal Design Example is built around the C42381015, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the RP2350A QFN-60 Minimal Design Example PCB?

The RP2350A QFN-60 Minimal Design Example measures 52 × 51 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the RP2350A QFN-60 Minimal Design Example?

39 components, from 31 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 RP2350A QFN-60 Minimal Design Example design files?

From the MaverickUK/HDDSynth 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 RP2350A QFN-60 Minimal Design Example design in my own project?

It is published under CC-BY-NC-4.0, which limits how it may be reused; read the license before building on it.

Can I test firmware for the RP2350A QFN-60 Minimal Design Example 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.
