Front view of an ESP32-C3 development board mounted on a green "sidekick v0" PCB. An OLED display is attached on top, showing a blue character "(---)" on its screen. The board is powered via a micro USB cable and rests on a wood table.

The rear side of the "sidekick v0" custom green PCB is shown up close, with the attached OLED display visible at the top. Two tactile push buttons are soldered in the center, with various text labels like "burn the hardware" and "made for glyph c3" are printed on the PCB. A person's hand holds the board, and a brown wooden surface is visible beneath.

A hand holds the back side of the "GLYPH C3" custom PCB with soldered components visible. Two tactile push buttons can be seen. The top has an attached OLED display module, showing its internal ribbon cable. Background includes a yellow mat, wires, and electronic workspace clutter.

An OLED display is attached to the top, showing a blue smiley face icon. The assembly rests on a wooden table with a yellow silicone soldering mat in the background.

Mistakes were made, lessons were learned.

The manufacturer reused pins 4 and 5 for i2c on the cheapest board. I forgot that+kicad gave me no hint

So now the touch I wired to pin 5 is useless. I can use this PCB without another iteration if I get rid of […]

A green printed circuit board (PCB) titled "GLYPH" and "Sidekick" is placed on a dark wooden surface. The board features numerous through-holes for electronic component mounting, white silkscreen labels for connection points (GND, VCC, SCL, SDA), component outlines (such as BC547, C3, SM4007), and designated spots for switches marked SW1 and SW2. Logos including "Burn This Hardware" and "Sidekick" appear on the left and bottom center

A green rectangular printed circuit board (PCB) labeled "Sidekick PCB v0" rests on a dark wooden surface. The PCB has various through-holes for component mounting, white silkscreen labeling for pin headers (including SCL, SDA, SDO, INT1, INT2, CS, VCC, GND), a circular outline labeled "BZ1" for a buzzer, and some mounting holes at the corners and sides. The silkscreen also has small text reading "Hack me for a", "digital cookie!"

Sidekick v0 PCBs arrived!

We have a domain now! It doesn't do much so I added a preview of the thing! Kicad generating the model as glb and used Google's Model Viewer library to render it directly in your browser!

Week 0 Progress! The video is from around August 6th and there's been tons of work since!

Expect week 2 update veeeery soon! If all goes well, it'll be on a PCB

For now, here's a quick "Hello World" kind of intro video filmed with @layogtima

Apologies for […]

Experimenting with IIC displays!

The board driving it is PcbCupid's Glyph C3

This post is a little different from what I usually do - I'm working on a little project for my College Intership and to hopefully present something for IndiaFOSS 2025!

I'm going to give weekly updates(or biweekly if I get excited!) along with a demo if I can

Big thanks for supporting this […]
