To all the electronic enthusiast over here so I've just begun designing a sound board with the specs below and plan to make it open source, I'd just like some feedback if you guys would be interested and some additional ideas that I can put in:
Specific Electronics that will probably be used:
- LTC3114-1
- LT3476
- TAS2521
- STM32F205RGT6 (might change to STM32405RGT6 for more powa)
- MPU-9250
The above basically means:
- 2.8V to 16V input range, so power sources ranging from built in Li ions to USB to large 12V Pb-acid protosaber installments to crystals can be used
- 4x1.5A independent independently controlled LED channels (means color mixing), up to 96% efficiency
- 32-bit ARM Core with 1MB flash 128KB ram @ 120MHz = lots of raw processing power for motion processing i guess?
- USB programmable/debuggable/configurable
- 24-bit sound @ 192KHz @ 2W sample rate is possible
- 3 module/9 axis sensor @ 8000 samples/s
- Tons of leftover IO and I2C for PLIs, module expansion etc.
The simplest explanation:
- It's bright, sounds crisp and has lots of features you probably will never use
Those are the hardware specs, software wise...well I'll leave it to the community to brew up some SaberOS or something, tho honestly I don't even know if I can cram all that stuff onto a PCB the size of 2 fingers X_X This is my second prop project btw
