Energia code and Kicad files for a Korg Volca Drum MIDI CC board
In the Korg Volca Drum there's a hidden menu when you press the edit/step to change five adittional settings for each part and layer: bit resolution, overdrive, wave folding, pan, and pre-amp gain.
This repository contains the code, schematic, and PCB files to build and program a circuit board to control the 'hidden' paramenters from a Korg Volca Drum, having one dedicated knob control for each one and being able to select the first, second, or both layers with the provided push buttons. The circuit is based on a MSP430G2553, a common and cheap microprocessor from Texas Instruments, and it's…

CCVDrum: common questions
What microcontroller does the CCVDrum use?
The CCVDrum is built around the MSP430G2533, from the TI MSP430/CC family.
How big is the CCVDrum PCB?
The CCVDrum measures 106 × 54.5 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the CCVDrum?
38 components, from 24 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the CCVDrum design files?
From the sensai7/CCVDrum repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the CCVDrum design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which sensai7 chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the CCVDrum without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug TI MSP430/CC firmware against it before you order a PCB.
