Questions

How big is the Sinthinator PCB?

It measures 100.9 × 144.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Sinthinator use?

57 parts, built around the STM32C011F6P6, CAP1206-1-SL, PCA9544APW and AMS1117-3.3. 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 Sinthinator KiCad files?

From the phenax/sinthinator repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/sinthinator.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/sinthinator.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Sinthinator design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask phenax before reusing the design.
