Designing Backpack/UI Board

[kipschwinger]

I just got my Axoloti a few days ago and I'm already blown away by how flexible and powerful it is, and how active the community is!

I'd love to design and fabricate my own backpack/UI input board(s) to mount above Axoloti and connect via pin headers, similar to the now-defunct MTM AxoControl.

Are there mechanical drawings or design files for the Axoloti Core PCB available? I don't think I could easily achieve this without them.

Thanks!

Aha, I found a .brd file download in this post

Knob/Button PCB Shield

Here's an Eagle BRD with the mechanically relevant parts axocore_v11_mech.brd (104.9 KB) I believe this contains everything you'd need to design extension boards.

@johannes Would it be possible to add a github repo for the hardware files (.sch/.brd files for Eagle) or link to them somewhere more visible?

@kipschwinger i once made this: https://github.com/dadamachines/axoloti_shield it's partly based on the design from tom Whitwell which you can find here: https://github.com/TomWhitwell/Axo-Control

Nice! Thanks for sharing the schematics, this will be very useful.
