Thank you.

I have limited to +10dB because if you do the math when you have on input a CD-player which usually have over 2V on output you will have big distortion because you overshoot the analog power voltage on PGA ( the soft I am using in one of my preamplifier I have build I use limit to 0dB !!! because +10dB tend to be to much) .
But if you want I can rewrite again the soft to reach the 31.5dB !
( Are you sure you want that ? )

Later edit : I have done what you asked about , here is the soft.

Here is a proposition for pcb layout :

Hi
I'm going to use passive preamp.
It means signal slackening by 10...20dB. That's why I want to control full PGA2310 dynamic range.
You were right when you said about CD-player with 2v output. 3 years ago I made DAC on CS8416&CS4391A for CD-ROM and I have 1.98v output on it. But in any time I can make volume lower.

Thank you danzup for PCB layout.
I already made my PCB.

Thank you again for the soft and for your help

Hi again
There are some errors
Danzup, could you fix it please...

Sorry for error , here are the fixed files for firmware (including .bin ) :

Hi
Thank you danzup for soft - I compiled it with no error.
Perfect!

I have a favour to ask of you to add last feature to this beautiful preamp controller - balance control.
Without balance control we have perfect device. But with balance control it will be brilliant!!!
Can you add this feature please?

Hi Danzup,

Are you selling the kit? If you do, how much?

Thanks,

Joe

kit would be sweet!

As you read in this thread I have done by the years a lot of type of controller :
- volume with specialized IC like PGA 2310 , 2311 , 4311
- volume with alps potentiometer and motor (like blue velevet)
- volume with R/2R resistor attenuator (R/2R ladder )
- volume with shunt type attenuator
- volume with TDA7318 etc.

I have only kit for R/2R type volume/attenuator and for alps motor potentiometer .

For the rest I have posted schematics , pcb , firmware and I will provide support .
If in the future will be more than 10 request I will provide more kit.
It will be help if you say what kit would you like !
