specifications
The title says it all.
First version
- 2x analogue in (10 bit resolution, MCP3008, 0.5mA max power consumption )
- 2x analogue out (12 bit resolution, MCP4922, 0.7mA max power consumption )
- 2x gate in
- being able to also run without a real eurorack powersupply (it produces its own -5V by using an ICL7660)
based oninspired on https://micro-twin.com/hardware.php
Second version
- more analogue in, 12 bit resolution by using a MCP3204 or MCP3208 or so?
- more analogue out, gates in
- also gates out
- LEDs for gate status
- pins for neopixel connection (gnd + signal)
- I2C breakout (for e.g. small displays)
- SPI extender? (does something like that exist?)
- SMD technology maybe?
schematics

0...3.3V to -5/+5V
The opamp needs +5 and -5 for power.

-5/+5V to 0...3.3V
The opamp needs +3.3V and 0V for power.
software
- I've chosen a DAC and ADC with SPI to easily connect them to a raspberry pi.
- gate signals can be toggled via e.g. wiringpi
