This repository contains all the build material to manufacture "eurorack blocks": small PCBs that can be used on a breadboard, and provide atomic typical digital eurorack features such as power, CV, gates, pots and leds.
This project aims at simplifying digital eurorack development by providing atomic building blocks for each eurorack basic features.
The full manifest can be read here.
audio-in-daisyis an audio input block,audio-out-daisyis an audio output block.
cv-inis a CV input block.
buttonis a trigger button,ledis a monochromatic LED,led-biis a dichromatic LED,potis a potentiometer block,slideris a slider potentiometer block,switchis a 2 or 3 positions toggle switch,trimis a trim potentiometer block.
power-busis a eurorack compatible power bus.regulator-daisyis a voltage regulator compatible with the Daisy Seed.
multiplexeris a signal multiplexer block.
Blocks are packed into panels called "kits".
kits contains panelized blocks standard kits.
Building and deploying the tests requires:
- The
gccARM toolchain, - The
dfu-utilfirmware downloader, - The
ninjabuild system.
To do so, follow the instructions from the Daisy wiki:
Note: Installing
makeon macOS might not be required if Xcode is installed. Ifbrewreturns an error, trybrew install armmbed/formulae/arm-none-eabi-gcc dfu-utilinstead.
A pre-built package of ninja can be installed with your favorite package manager by
following the directions described here.
Every other build dependencies can be found in the submodules of this repository, so make sure to update the submodules, as described below.
Producing the PCBs gerbers requires:
This repository contains submodules:
git clone [email protected]:ohmtech-rdi/eurorack-blocks.git
git submodule update --init --recursive
Almost each block contain a test folder with a minimal implementation to show usage
of the block on the software side. To build and deploy the test:
$ python configure.py
This will create an artifacts folder with everything needed to build.
$ python build.py
ninja: Entering directory `/Users/raf/dev/eurorack-blocks/audio-out-daisy/test/artifacts/out/Release'
[10/10] LINK test
OBJCOPY
This will create the binary file to upload to the Daisy seed. It is the test.bin file output in the
artifacts/out/Release build directory.
$ python deploy.py
Enter the system bootloader by holding the BOOT button down,
and then pressing, and releasing the RESET button.
Press Enter to continue...

Follow the onscreen instructions and this will download the test.bin firmware to the
Daisy Seed when it is connected to USB. The error 74 reported from dfu-util can be safely
ignored.
Alternatively, if dfu-util does not work properly on the target platform,
one may use the Daisy Web Programmer
instead.
