This Arduino based module let’s you quantize and hold a given control voltage. There are controls for selecting different scales and transposing a note. The module can either continuously quantize a given voltage or hold it when triggered. It uses a 12-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC). It is a great companion for sequencers with unquantized outputs or for quantizing other voltage sources.

To upload or modify the firmware, you’ll need the Arduino IDE (or any compatible toolchain) to compile and flash the code to the microcontroller. There is a Makefile that uses arduino-cli to compile and flash your microcontroller.
$ make help
Available targets:
make compile - Compile the sketch
make upload - Compile and upload to Arduino (uses PORT=/dev/ttyUSB0)
make build-upload - Same as upload
make monitor - Open serial monitor (uses PORT=/dev/ttyUSB0, BAUD_RATE=115200)
make ports - List available serial ports
make clean - Remove build artifacts
make check - Verify arduino-cli is installed
Override PORT: make upload PORT=/dev/ttyACM0
Override ARDUINO_CLI: make compile ARDUINO_CLI=arduino-cli
