Winterbloom introduces Micronova: a tiny but mighty Eurorack power supply
I'm glad you enjoyed it! We're serious about open source and that means we gotta be serious about documentation. If you want a really fun one, check out https://gemini.wntr.dev ;)

How do you build your source code?
We use ninja - a very small and fast build system. Ninja generally needs something to generate its build files (CMake, Meson, etc.), but we just use a little Python script to generate ours.

Matriarch, modular, and Felt Instruments
Winterbloom also has something similar with their interactive user guide for Castor & Pollux (their latest Eurorack-format synth module). It's geared towards beginners and explains a lot of things that are useful even if you don't ever plan to get that module or any modular gear at all.

Small/unknown Eurorack makers?
Plus the modules are really cool and unique. Sol and BHB are both programmable with CircuitPython. All the hardware and firmware are open source for all the modules. Thea is also suuuuuper good about documentation too; check out this interactive user guide for Castor & Pollux!

Duophonic jam with Castor & Pollux, a juno-inspired dual osc
C&P is the latest, and most complex yet, by my favorite indie module maker, Winterbloom. I pre-ordered as soon as it was available to do so and they finally started shipping recently. The manual is pretty sweet and really interactive and educational too. RMR did a really good video demoing the wide range of sounds this can produce; highly recommend checking it out.

Anyone help Compile and Program MCU for Castor and Pollux for trade of PCBs
Hey there, I wrote some build instructions in the contributing guide on GitHub: https://github.com/wntrblm/Castor_and_Pollux/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#building-the-firmware

Here's a Juno style DCO I just made
This is great! I love a good minimal implementation. If anyone is looking for a complete Juno-style DCO, you might be interested in Castor & Pollux- the module that I wrote that Juno article for. It's also completely open-source, and you can find the schematics and source code here.

Here's a Juno style DCO I just made
A couple of months ago u/theacodes posted an excellent article about the Juno oscillators. I thought it might be a fun project to build it as a module with an Arduino. So here it is, built with an Arduino Pro Micro. Also, here's a link to the schematic and source.
