SpotiStation
About the SpotiStation PCB
SpotiStation is an open source PCB design by NemoAndrea, published on GitHub under the CERN-OHL-S-2.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 65 × 23 mm, with 11 components from 7 distinct parts.
From the project
Minimalist (Spotify) music player built around open hardware design intended to enable people with cognitive or physical disabilities to enjoy music on their own.
This a simple PCB that minimises the spaghetti inside the SpotiStation enclosure. It should be fairly cheap to have it manufactured (less than 6 euros at Aisler) with the most basic options.
Board outline is specified in edge-cuts.dxf which is generated from the FreeCAD file edge-cuts.FCStd file using the 'new' dxf export.
