Key Features

  • A microcontroller (ATMega4809) to control the routing and generate signals.
  • An 8x8 Analog Crosspoint Switch (ADG2188): to route signals from the patch sockets and/or microcontroller to the destinations.
  • A 0.96” OLED display to display the current connections.
  • A pair of encoders to audition and select connections.
  • Fully programmable with FLUX firmware.

Naming your Project(s)

“clectric Nexus” and “clectric anything Arc” are trademarked. Please do not use the words “clectric” or “electric” in the name of any of the works you create from these files.

However, you may, and are encouraged to, use “Nexus” and “Arc” in your own project’s name. Such as: “yourcompany Nexus” or “yourcompany Fader Arc”.

Sharing your Project(s)

You are free to sell your own variations, but remember that this module is open hardware under the CERN-OHL-S license. This is a “strongly reciprocal” license, so you are required to share any changes, or an entire “combined work”, as open hardware under the same license.

We have other hardware, in our Charge repository, that are licensed under the CERN-OHL-W “weakly reciprocal” variant. You can use those, under the terms of that variant, as components in your own projects.
