STELLAx4
4x 8Bit Soundchips/TIAś on a 10x10cm PCB,
controlled from a STM32F4 Microcontroller dipcoref4,
based on Antichambreś TIA Module, with AD9833ś as External programmable Clock, the Frequency-range is expandet…
The Board acts a Motherboard, for
- 4x Soundchip… AND:
also like the stm32f4_module it provides:
- Midi-IO - 1x IN, 1x OUT > 3,5Jacks/TRS
- µSD-Card - 2 Save Patches
- J19>AoutNG - to connect VCF or VCAs…
- J15 (JLCD1) which handle from Stock 4x SPI-Displays (SSD1306), - 4 the UI
- J1>chain a nother STELLAx4 as “SLAVE” to it, to expand polyphony
ready for Pick and Place
–all SMD-Parts are on one SIDE and are presoldered..
Features
* Summed or Individual Audio-Outs, selectable via normal Jumpers
* NTSC or PAL > select via SMD-Solder-Jumper
* User-Interface is C-Language-Programmable
Hardware Requirements
- 4 x TIA/STELLA [PAL or NTSC…)
- Soldering Iron - with a Dip that can Handle Thruhole-Parts, solder Paste…
- 5V from Mini-USB-Plug, or 5V at a 2Pin-Header connected to example a Eurorack Power Source (+5VDC!)
- dont forget Midi TRS Cables

Building
The Design is optimized for Pick and Place > all SMD Parts are on the Top-PCB
The Rest is Thruhole > easy
BOM LCSC
these are the parts which are presoldered by the Pick and Place Machine

for prototyping i ordered:
490-SJ1-3535NG-GR instead of 490-SJ1-3535NG because it is out of stock - so GREEN sockets for now!
Cable-Connectors for UserInterface and AOUT-Module you will need also:
571-1-2178712-0|8
+ Ribbon Cables for example:
