pW-petersWorkshop

This is where my electronic systems come to life.

As a working musician and sound engineer, I build and test everything right here – with real-world needs in mind. Whether it's live theatre, studio setups, or touring rigs, pW systems are built for reliability, flexibility, and musicality.

What I create:

• Custom Changeover Controllers (COC) for redundant audio & MIDI setups

• Rack systems with switchable Macs, soundcards, KVM, MIDI routing

• Self-designed PCBs (manufactured in China)

•  Hardware/software hybrids (in collaboration with KeyComp)

•  Custom instrument interfaces for professional musical productions

All builds are tested in real shows – nothing leaves the workshop unless it works under pressure.

New PCB – pW_2025.05 „Prodigy 007.1“

Fresh from the factory – and now fully assembled and tested in pW – petersWorkshop.

This board features:

• Latching relays for passive failover switching

• A compact controller core based on a Pi Pico

• Modular I/O with OLED status screen

• Designed for integration in live music environments and touring racks

Originally designed for internal use with KeyComp systems, it’s now entering real-world testing – and showing solid first results.

Built to survive the pit. And the road.

New product is leaving our harbour
Another full performance system, custom-built in pW – petersWorkshop, is now on its way to the U.S. tour of Beauty and the Beast.

Featuring redundant Macs, MIDI control, audio interfaces, keyboard integration and live switching – stage-ready and road-tested.

April 2025 – PCB is back and ready to go

Fresh from the fab – the new board is here.
A clean red layout, clear silkscreen, and first power-on with LED confirmation.
This one will handle power management, digital control and expansion ports – part of an ongoing modular project in pW – petersWorkshop.

Next step:
Bestücken – or in international terms: component party time. 

 April 2025 – New PCB shipped!

Today we shipped out a freshly developed PCB from pW – petersWorkshop.
This board is part of a new switching system for live audio setups, offering ultra-fast and fail-safe changeovers between redundant sources.

Each board is hand-tested in my workshop and part of a growing toolkit built for theatre, touring, and live performance reliability.

Let’s call it:
„The smallest crew member with the biggest responsibility.”

January 2025 – Internal Test Build @ pW

This PCB is part of an internal development series for a modular live control system.
It combines MIDI routing, switch control, KVM relays, and failover logic – all designed to interface directly with Arduino-based automation in a live setup.

The build was designed, routed, and tested in pW – petersWorkshop as part of a broader R&D effort for future live redundancy systems.
