Jay-D – Build & code your own DJ mixtable
With Jay-D, you’ll learn how microcomputers and other electronic components are used for sound production and get a bit closer to becoming a DJ superstar.
Our mini mixtable has almost all the basic functions a professional has, such as:
- Two simultaneous playback slots
- BPM control
-  Different sound equalizers and effects (currently, we’ve implemented a low-pass filter and an echo effect)

- Â A Class-D amplifier, and two 3W speakers implemented for DeeJaying on the go!
- Â 20 RGB LEDs on board – for the bling-bling, of course!
What you’ll get:
- Â Main circuit board – connects all the chips together
- Â Display board – 128*160 TFT color display
- Acrylic casing
- Â A bag of other small components such as resistors, pushbuttons, nuts and bolts
- Two 3W speakers
- Â The Brain board – has a dual-core processor and a power-management IC
