Hi.
This is my newest gizmo: A homebrew Zynthian-5.1-ish Frankenstein…
Tech specs:
- Pi5 8GB
- 8’’ 1280x800 10-point capacitive touch with hardened glas surface and optical bonding (no chirping, no hum
) - HiFiBerry DAC2 ADC Pro (intended better Burr-Brown / software still in development)
- headphome amp with analog volume (no deafening surprise with earpiercing levels after load!)
- multiple analog audio input types
- MX brown keys
- laser engraved and inlayed ABS keycaps
- RGB keyboard lights according 5.1 specs (wiring is V5, with two MCP23017 and WS2812B LEDs)
- Bourns rotary encoders
- laser-cut knobs
- MIDI-trio
- SanDisk Max Endurance 32GB (for trying out multiple Oram)
- NVMe 256GB (even boots from it until update or webconf)
- Laser-cut 5mm acrylic case with internal thermal management and passive radiation cooling. 300x125x40mm
- Totally modular inside
(still digesting a wire beast)
The device gets hand warm all over under heavy load, but does not produce a hotspot below the Pi5, thermal reports something between 54°C and 57°C under sunshine, so cooling seems to work.
