New pin for pin compatible daisyseed Seed3

Looks like the same MCU, but has a new audio codec and USB C


I was only going to grab one if it had a new MCU. But still a nice little upgrade for new people that should be compatible with existing projects!

The email I got for this just now says this, so hopefully they fixed the noise. I don't see the verbage about the noise floor on the website.

"The Seed3 sports a new audio codec with crystal clear audio. Up to 32-bit, 192kHz processing and an unbelievably low noise floor (-120 db)."

I ordered mine yesterday! I don't expect any major difference, although I have way more USB C cables lying around nowadays so that's helpful. I also want to plug the Seed 3 into my daisy pedals (bksheperd, funbox, terrarium) and make sure there's not any unusual behavior with the op amp buffers. As far as I can see on the Electrosmith website, they are no longer selling the previous Daisy Seed version, so that would be something to let users know on the open source projects. Fingers crossed everything works great with less noise, but the noise issues weren't caused by the noise floor of the codec, so I am being cautious in my expectations.

Looking through the Seed3 datasheet, they have updated documentation on circuitry surrounding the Daisy, including instrument level (guitar) input/outputs (page 19). It's great how much info they added in the datasheet, but it is significantly different from what I've used in my pedal designs for op amp buffers, and different from the Terrarium, so hopefully everything still plays nicely. There are some references to a "Pedal Dev Kit", and someone asked about that in the Daisy discord, they said more info on that is coming soon.

I was also curious about a new MCU, but honestly the H750 is probably still the best choice for them. There are some 600Mhz H7's but the onboard RAM is much less, and I like to have that fast ram available as opposed to the slower SDRAM if I can get it. There's also some MCUs with significantly more flash memory, 2MB, but a bit pricy compared to the H750.

Thanks for doing that, I was considering grabbing one right away for some of the same reasons, but now I will wait for you to test it out first :)
