protopedal v1.0

An open source guitar pedal shield for STM32F767 Nucleo Devboard

protopedal v1.0

The protopedal is a rudimentary digital guitar effects processor for open source development and experimentation with guitar pedal effects. For accesibility purposes, it is designed to work as a shield for the NUCLEO F767-ZI devboard from ST Microelectronics. The firmware is written in Rust using the embassy embedded framework. It provides all the needed analog circuitry so it is a pretty plug and play coding experience.

System Architecture
