About the OtterCastAmp PCB
OtterCastAmp is an open source PCB design by Ottercast, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 4-layer board measuring 96 × 100 mm, with 250 components from 68 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the EMMC04G-S100-B08U, AllWinner-S3(FBGA-234), LM75B, SY8089AAAC and MP2303. By type, the board carries 112 capacitors, 89 resistors, 14 inductors, 12 ICs, 9 connectors and 7 diodes.
It belongs with the audio, iot & wireless and power & battery designs in this gallery.
From the project
OtterCastAmp is an open-source WiFi Speaker amplifier, based on a Sochip S3 SoC. Powered by any USB PD adapter for up to 100W of music.
OtterCastAmp is an open-source Sonos Amp replacement, based on a Sochip S3 SoC and pulseaudio sink/source.
We are currently planning a small batch production run, stay tuned. [editors notes: It is 2024 now and noone really expected how bad covid would affect the supply chain. While all parts are available again, we are only slowly getting interested in this project again]
