About the Braids through hole V1.1 BRAIN PCB
Braids through hole V1.1 BRAIN is an open source STM32 PCB design by sebastianbeyer, published on GitHub. It is a board measuring 78.7 × 81 mm, with 63 components from 26 distinct parts.
Its main chip is the STM32F103C8T6, from the STM32 family. Other key parts include the LM4040-2.5, MCP3204-BI/P, MCP4822, LD1117V33 and MCP6004. By type, the board carries 24 capacitors, 23 resistors, 11 ICs, 2 transistors and 2 diodes.
From the project
This is a KOSMO (Look Mum No Computer) version of the Mutable instruments braids, based on the through-hole version done by sound-force.nl. It has only 12 bits resolution in the output because the chip is easier to work with and cheaper.

This project is so far only different to the soundforce version in that I removed the 3.5mm jack sockets and replaced them with molex connectors to get them connected to the larger 6.3mm jack sockets that KOSMO uses. And I made the larger KOSMO panel.
