Hi at all!

Because i'm very ill, the Beepblaster is free for non commercial use!
Please have a look on my first Post.

best regards
Paddy

it would be nice if the stereo support could run on one chip, maybe a larger avr chip ?

I did a thing...

Serge if I send you the Eagle files can you look at this and let me know if there's anything obviously wrong? First time PCB maker 🤣.

- Evan

Hi Evan,
feel free to send me PM, i will try to help, but normally I use kicad, not eagle,
so my help may be limited to general comments.

I can already comment based on the screenshot :
I see you use the same ceramic resonator, shared for both cpu's, this can work fine.
But ceramic resonators are not that accurate (typically about 5000ppm, 0.5%),
and MIDI allows for a maximum of 1% tolerance on the clock frequency.
Crystals would be more accurate (typically 30ppm), but then you'd also need startup caps.

Layout wise it looks ok, i like the 'stereo' looks 😀 curious to see the other side.
Maybe you can upload screenshots of both sides of your board and also pdf of your schematic to vogons.
To avoid confusion though, it may be better to start a separate thread, and reference to ulfenknulfens thread as inspiration source ?

Looking forward to your further adventures !
Serge

Hi Community!

The development of the Beepblaster 2.0 (Stereo with Beepmode) is ongoing and will be published here.
Of course I'll test it beforehand, so it will take a while.
Stay tuned.

best regards
Paddy

Superb, very curious to see further evolution
if you'd use a larger cpu, maybe it can also have more voices ?
