HDD Synth PCB design starts 20 Aug 2025

So far with this project I've prototyped all the hardware via breadboards and hand soldered PCBs. However after a series of successful tests I'm ready to create some professionally manufactured PCBs to share with people for testing

After watching a few tutorials on KiCad I slowly started the process of building my own PCB. First by laying out the schematic of how the individual components connect to each other

Followed by laying out the components on the PCB which was also the time to have some fun with the silkscreen and add the project logo

One cool feature of the software is the ability to preview the PCB in 3D. What a buzz!

I still need to add a few more components to the design, but I'm building it iteratively in complete slices.
