This week we continued work on the signal path and UI. We started using the new pre-amp on Rev2, observing a large increase in quality. Due to the current chip shortage, our manufacturer was unable to provide us with essential components we needed for a complete Rev2 assembly. As a workaround, we decided to pass the final design’s signal through this pre-amp and then jumping the signal over to one of the Rev1 boards. There is still some noise that appears to be from the ADC, which is being looked into.
The UI is in a usable state, with meaningful variables able to be adjusted, and full control of our input devices (switch, button, encoder).
As a team we also worked on the final presentation, which Sam will deliver next week.
Next week we will wrap up validation, implement our updated MVP DSP effects, integrate the UI and signal path, and work on overall signal path quality. We will also make our video.
Here is our updated schedule:
For a little bit of fun, here is the guts of our beautiful BARI box:
