Axoctrl is a plug and play controlling interface for Axoloti Core. It gives easy access to all the connections available on the board adding knobs, buttons, extra ports and a bright display.
It’s a project started in 2018 when we discovered the existence of the wonderful Axoloti Core, a DSP board designed and developed in the close-by Belgium from Johannes Taelman.
We loved so much this projects that we immediately decided to develop a controlling interface for it. The shield is made to be easy to assemble and make full use of all the I/O connections available on the Core without requiring any other software add ons. This is also possible thanks to the Axoloti Community that already developed tons of resources. All this has been fundamental for us to achieve this project.
Between 2018 and 2019 the Axoctrl has been available only as pre-assembled unit embedded inside a 3D printed box (Axoctrl box 1st serie).
Lately, AXOCTRL has been released also as a full kit to assembly or pre-soldered with female or male header connector. The assembly is very easy, also for new DIYer… You can find manuals and step by step assembly guide in the workshop section. The Axoctrl box production ends in January 2020 to make room for the new upcoming AXOBOX.

We designed a unique 3D printed case that perfectly fits the Axoloti core and the Axoctrl board, keeping both safe from dust and shocks. The enclosure improves the solidity of the on-board ports such as micro-USB and SD-Card without losing accessibility to any of the original connections.
Seven models were released with 3d printers, using different type of filaments: Clear PETG, Premium PLA, Volcano PLA, WoodFill PLA (40% wood particle gravimetrical filling).

To fit your Axoctrl into the box you’ll need few parts, that are included in the kit.
