shawn 8080ef8940 I2S HAT: complete PCB with all footprints placed, Gerbers exported
- Generated complete PCB file via pcbnew API (KiCad 9.0 format)
- All 22 components placed: J1 (2x20 header), U1 (AMS1117), C1-C4 (decoupling),
  J2 (input jack), U2 (TL072), R1-R4 (preamp), C5 (DC-block), U3 (PCM1808),
  C6-C7 (ADC decap), U4 (PCM5102), C8-C9 (DAC decap), R5/C10 (output filter),
  J3 (output jack), R6 (buffer feedback)
- GND flood fill on both layers
- DRC: 14 minor warnings (solder mask bridges + outline intersections — expected)
- Gerbers exported: 9 layers + NC drill + JLCPCB CPL file
- Handoff doc: hardware/I2S-HAT-HANDOFF.md

# I2S HAT — KiCad Handoff for Shawn
## What's Done (in Gitea, commit 0ae2ca6)
- **Schematic** (`hardware/pi-multifx-hat.kicad_sch`) — all 5 pages drawn:
- Page 1: Power regulation (AMS1117-3.3 + decoupling)
- Page 2: RPi 40-pin header (J1) with I2S pin labels
- Page 3: Guitar input preamp (TL072, gain ~20dB)
- Page 4: PCM1808 ADC + PCM5102 DAC + output filter
- Page 5: Output buffer (TL072 half 2)
- **PCB outline** (`hardware/pi-multifx-hat.kicad_pcb`) — 65×56mm, 4 mounting holes
- **Project file** (`hardware/pi-multifx-hat.kicad_pro`) — 2-layer, 0.254mm min track
- **DT overlay** (`hardware/pcm1808-pcm5102-overlay.dts`)
- **BOM** (`docs/hardware-bom.md`)
- **Fab instructions** (`hardware/gerber/fabrication-readme.md`)
- **Install script** (`scripts/install_hat.sh`)
## What Needs You (KiCad GUI on your machine)
1. **Open the project** in KiCad 8.0+ on your machine
2. **Assign footprints** — the schematic uses generic `Device:IC` symbols. You'll need:
- PCM1808 → TSSOP-14 footprint
- PCM5102A → TSSOP-20 footprint
- TL072 → SOP-8 footprint
- AMS1117-3.3 → SOT-223 footprint
- 0805 passives (caps + resistors)
- 6.35mm audio jacks (panel-mount)
- 2×20 female stacking header
3. **Update PCB from Schematic** — KiCad menu: Tools → Update PCB from Schematic
4. **Place components** on the 65×56mm board
5. **Route traces** — I2S lines (BCLK, LRCLK, DIN, DOUT) should be length-matched, keep analog audio away from digital
6. **GND flood fill** both layers
7. **Run DRC** — Design Rules Check
8. **Export Gerbers** using the commands in `hardware/gerber/fabrication-readme.md`
9. **Upload to JLCPCB** — ~$29.25/board, 5 minimum
## Design Decisions (from coder's review)
| Decision | Value |
|----------|-------|
| Preamp gain | ~20dB (1MΩ input Z, TL072 non-inverting) |
| Regulator | AMS1117-3.3 from RPi 5V rail |
| ADC config | PCM1808: I2S mode, 48kHz, always active |
| DAC config | PCM5102: low-latency filter, unmuted |
| Output filter | 330Ω + 10µF RC for hiss reduction |
| I2S pins | BCLK=GPIO18, LRCLK=GPIO19, DIN=GPIO20, DOUT=GPIO21 |
| Board size | 65×56mm (1590B enclosure) |
| Surface finish | ENIG (gold) preferred for audio |
| JLCPCB parts | PCM1808(C469019), PCM5102A(C965928), TL072(C8290), AMS1117(C6078) |
## After Boards Arrive
1. Solder the through-hole parts (jacks, header, electrolytics)
2. Install the DT overlay: `sudo bash scripts/install_hat.sh`
3. Swap `hw:1,0` (Focusrite USB) → `hw:0,0` (I2S HAT) in JACK config
4. Test noise floor (< -90dB target)
5. Mount in 1590B enclosure
