Bill of Materials
- 1x PY32F002AA15M
- 2x OSRAM TOPLED LS T77K LEDs
- 1x 470 Ohm 0805 Resistor
- 1x 1M Ohm 0805 Resistor
- 1x 1uF 0805 Capacitor
Assembly instructions
- Solder on the py32 microcontroller paying attention to pin 1 orientation
- Solder on the 2 LEDs paying attention to direction.
- The black mark should be towards the bottom of the badge.
- Solder on the 2 resistors, orientation doesn't matter
- R1 is the 470 ohm resistor (4700 marking)
- R2 is the 1M ohm resistor (105 marking)
- Solder on the capacitor, orientation doesn't matter
Flashing instructions
[!NOTE] If you obtained the components during Saintcon the py32 is already flashed and you can skip the remainder of these steps.
Required hardware & software
- ST-Link V2 clone
- PyOCD https://pyocd.io/ installed.
Connect 3.3V, GND, SWDIO, SWCLK, and RST to the ST-Link. These are all broken out on the 2x3 1.00mm pin header.
To flash the MCU just execute make flash from the Fimware directory.

Questions
How big is the Sidebar PCB?
It measures 84 × 37.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Sidebar use?
9 parts, built around the PY32F002AA15M6TU. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Sidebar KiCad files?
From the Professor-plum/SaintCon-RE-Topper repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Kicad/Sidebar.kicad_pcb and its schematic Kicad/Sidebar.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Sidebar design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
