# Eurorack PMOD

- **R3.3 hardware in stock!** [order **here :)**](https://apfelaudio.com/order/)
- ~~R3.1 hardware SOLD OUT~~

**Eurorack PMOD** is a [certified open hardware](https://certification.oshwa.org/de000135.html) Eurorack module that plugs directly into many FPGA boards, which makes it easy to combine the world of FPGAs and [hardware electronic music synthesis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurorack). The **latest (R3.3) hardware looks like this**:

For a (now quite outdated) high-level overview on the motivation for this project and some of the design decisions, **see [my FOSDEM '23 talk](https://youtu.be/Wbd-OfCWvKU)** on this project.

## How does it work?
- Plug eurorack-pmod into an FPGA development board of your choice. Here is a list of [boards already supported by the examples](gateware/boards).
- Get started with some [example DSP cores](gateware/cores). Examples include calibration, sampling, effects, synthesis sources and so on. The design files can be synthesized to a bitstream using Yosys' [oss-cad-suite](https://github.com/YosysHQ/oss-cad-suite-build).

# Manufacturing

**R3.3 hardware is in stock** [order **here :)**](https://apfelaudio.com/)

~~Update: R3.1 SOLD OUT, revision R3.3 will land in the next 1-2 months - [get notified **here :)**](https://apfelaudio.com/modules/pmod/)~~

~~Update: R3.1 (first production release) is fully functional with 1 rework, see github issues for up-to-date information.~~

~~Note: I gave some R3.0 (preproduction) units out at Hackaday Berlin '23. These are tested but NOT calibrated. They had 2 hacks applied. Some inductors are shorted with 0 ohm resistors as the wrong inductor was populated (means the board is a bit noiser than it should be - but still definitely useable). Also the reset line of the jack detect IO expander was routed incorrectly, so I manually shorted 2 pins of that chip. Functionally these boards are the same as R3.1, which fixes these issues.~~
