About the A1-4RD PCB
A1-4RD is an open source PCB design by mkol-ME, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 4-layer board measuring 120 × 94 mm, with 93 components from 50 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the CYPD3177-24LQXQ, TPS259470LRPWR, TPS389001DSET, SN74LVC1G08DBVR and ICS-43434. By type, the board carries 39 resistors, 29 capacitors, 11 ICs, 4 connectors, 4 diodes and 3 transistors.
It belongs with the audio designs in this gallery.
From the project
Local voice assistant with a character: Whisper and a 26B LLM on a reflashed datacenter GPU, a custom voice, a 3D-printed body and a KiCad PCB
Native KiCad 10 project for Pi Zero 2 W, ICS-43434 microphone, MAX98357A amplifier and one FS90 servo. Revision E replaces D for the next prototype evaluation. Purchasing is deferred.
- R107: verified 32.0k 0.1% part, with recalculated supervisor thresholds. - R101: Pi/audio current limit lowered from about3.33A to2.02A nominal. - C101:10nF; slower Pi/audio startup reduces nominal reservoir charging surge from0.94A to0.44A. - External requirements now include the Pi, microSD, stencil/assembly and enclosure/linkage.
