Sinthinator: common questions

What microcontroller does the Sinthinator use?

The Sinthinator is built around the STM32C011F6, from the STM32 family.

How big is the Sinthinator PCB?

The Sinthinator measures 100.9 × 144.5 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Sinthinator?

53 components, from 22 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Sinthinator design files?

From the phenax/sinthinator repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Sinthinator design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with phenax. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Sinthinator without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug STM32 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
