DJC-DIYan open-source DIY DJ controller

You can make it at home without special tools, skill or knowledge. It works with Mixxx, open-source DJ software. A preview, detailed build tutorial, and professional DJ demo are available on YouTube.

If you do not have access to a 3D printer, the printed parts can be ordered from PCBWay.

Update

DJC-DIY v1.1.0 is here!

All 3D models rebuilt from scratch. No more screws: every part snaps together, and different Pro Micro variants simply click into a universal socket. Plus new feet, a simpler schematic, new firmware and a license that keeps every derivative open source.

You can now watch the professional DJ demo on YouTube, and if you don’t have access to a 3D printer, you can order the printed parts from PCBWay.
