About the Anthracite PCB (Bottom)
Anthracite PCB (Bottom) is an open source STM32 PCB design by trope-oshw, published on GitHub under the CERN-OHL-S-2.0 license. It is a 4-layer board measuring 60 × 73.5 mm, with 208 components from 40 distinct parts.
Its main chip is the STM32F030C8T6, from the STM32 family. Other key parts include the 78L05G-AB3-R, XC6206P332MR-G, M24C64-RMN6TP, SN74HCT04DR and SN74LVC1G66DCKR. By type, the board carries 107 resistors, 53 capacitors, 24 diodes, 12 transistors, 9 ICs and 2 switches.
It belongs with the audio designs in this gallery.
From the project
MIDI-controllable fuzz pedal — open hardware (CERN-OHL-S v2) / firmware (GPLv3)
A MIDI-controllable analogue fuzz pedal.
Fuzz pedals are awkward to live with: the sound changes when you swap guitars, a wah in front of one loses its range, and few switchers can drive one. Most of that traces back to a single cause — the input impedance of a fuzz is low, and it is fixed. Anthracite lets you choose the load your pickup sees, and keeps the whole signal path analogue: it is switched by analogue switches rather than mechanical contacts, and the microcontroller only moves those switches and never touches the audio.
