-## Wat
+![render image](doc/images/render.png)
 
-This pcb is an audio multiplexer, meaning it can switch three analog inputs into one analog output. 
+<iframe src="https://myhub.autodesk360.com/ue28af833/shares/public/SH56a43QTfd62c1cd96847154d5ed1f7a373?mode=embed" width="640" height="480" allowfullscreen="true" webkitallowfullscreen="true" mozallowfullscreen="true"  frameborder="0"></iframe>
 
-## Why
+This project contains all design files for a **6:1 audio multiplexer** , meaning it can switch six analog inputs into one analog output. 
 
-Sometimes you just need more inputs. And this is how you do it.
+It is based on the [BD3491](https://www.digikey.de/product-detail/de/rohm-semiconductor/BD3491FS-E2/BD3491FS-E2TR-ND/5720882) which does everthing related to the Audio signals.
 
-## How
+On top of switching the inputs, it is also able to condition the signal. It can 
 
-The BD3491 does all the audio switching. It combines one 6 input switch and an equalizer into a simple package. 
+- Apply Bass-Boosting and Treble-Boosting (essentially a crappy 3-Point Equalizer)
-The STM32 configures the BD3491 to switch to the specified inputs based on pressed buttons or software control.
+- Amplify the input signal by up to 20dB
+- Add attenuation to the individual channels (aka. balance the left and right channel)
 
-# serial control Syntax
+All of these feature of the chip can be activated with the on-board STM32, which can in turn be controlled 
-Upon connecting the stm32 to a PC using USB it will register itself as a new Serial Port. The following text commands can be issued via said Serial connection (the baudrate is irrelevant): 
+with either on-board buttons or via it's integrated USB port. One can either use the serial protocol directly 
+or a [GUI written in python](gui/README.md)  
 
-- `C[number]\n` will change the input to the specified channel. The stm32 echo the command as it was understood. e.g: When Sending `C0\n` it will respond `C0\r\n` to acknowledge the channel switched to **Input 1**. When issuing a `C10` there will be no response, since 10 is out of range. *NOTE:* when using the buttons on the PCB to switch the input, the stm will also issue a `C[number]\r\n` over the serial port if it is connected to notify the PCB of the external input change. 
+The Board can be supplied over said USB port as well (if the primary use-case implies it beeing connected
+to the PC constantly) or by applying power using a 2.1mm Barrel Jack.
 
-- `G[number]\n` will activate an input gain of [number] in dB. It will also respond with the closest gain it can do. e.g: `G10` will result in the stm responding `G12\r\n` which means it will add a 12db input boost, which was the closest matching _valid_ input gain value. You can check the datasheet of the BD3491 to find the possible gain values if this peaks your interest :) 
+For more details on the pcb, check the [PCB readme](kicad/README.md)
 
-- `L[number]\n` or `R[number]\n` will activate an attenuator in either the left or the right channel. [number] is once again in dB. It works much like the `G`-command. Setting [number] to 0 will deactivate the Attenuation.
+For details on the Serial command syntax and firmware flashing instructions, check the [firmware readme](firmware/README.md)
 
-- `B[number]\n` or `T[number]\n` adds **B**ass or **T**reble gain to the output
 
-- `M[0/1]\n` will either mute or unmute the output
+# Why
+
+Because ? 
+
+Sometimes you just need more inputs. This is how you do it. 
 
-- `S[0/1]\n` will connect all inputs to the output

+# Building the Firmware
+
+In order to build the firmware, [platformio](https://platformio.org/install/cli) must be installed. 
+
+To build the firmware, navigate to this folder using the terminal of your choice and type
+
+```bash
+platformio run

+## Flashing the firmware 
+
+If you happen to have an stlink compatible interface (e.g the [programmer attached the nucleo-boards](https://jeelabs.org/book/1547a/])), 
+then (after connecting said interface to the PC and the PCB), 
+the firmware can be flashed with

+![THE PCB](../doc/audioMux-brd.svg)
+
+There are a total of six solderjumpers on the board:
+
+# switching to the barrel jack as voltage supply
+
+*JP3* and *JP4* set the source for the supply voltage. 
+*JP4* connects the voltage input to the barrel jack, *JP4* connects it to the USB +5V rail.
+
+Per Default JP4 is closed and JP3 is open, making the default way of supplying voltage the USB jack. 
+
+If the Barrel Jack should be used, then **JP4 has to be opened first** by cutting the trace which shorts it by default, otherwise **the USB voltage will be shorted with the barrel jack, causing potential damage to the USB port**.
+Afterwards, *JP3* can be closed with a small blob of solder. 
+
+# activating the equalizer
+
+*JP1* and *JP2* connect the output of the Audio switching part of the Rohm chip. 
+When left in the default setting, they will connect them to the output jack directly, bypassing the Equalisation part of the chip completely.
+
+By selecting the other possible path, the equalisation circuit becomes usable. For this to work, 
+*JP7* and *JP8* have to be closed with small solder blobs as well, since those connect the equalizers 
+output to the output audio jack.
+
+# Assembling the rest 
+
+For assembly of the board, check the [documentation folder](../doc). It contains the [interactive bill of materials](../doc/interactive_placement.html),
+which indicates what components go where.
+
+Also take a look at the [BOM](../doc/BOM.xlsx) for what components can be sourced where.
