Overview
Companion Cube is an open-source printed circuit board by ByteSyze, from the ByteSyze/CompanionCube repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 43.2 × 43.2 mm with 21 parts on 14 nets, routed with 68 tracks and 1 via.
Its parts include 8 connectors, 6 resistors, 3 capacitors, 2 ICs and 1 diode. It belongs with the AVR (ATmega, ATtiny) boards of this library.
README
README.md3D-LED-Companion-Cube
This 3D LED Companion Cube project will contain all necessary information to create a 3D printed companion cube with an internal circuit to make the hearts flash.
The original companion cube model was created by Poh and downloaded from thingiverse here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:33138
The circuit is based on an attiny13 MCU, that will require additional hardware to program (e.g. AVR mkII or ATMEL-ICE). All schematics and circuits are designed in KiCAD.

Questions
How big is the Companion Cube PCB?
It measures 43.2 × 43.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Companion Cube use?
21 parts. 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 Companion Cube KiCad files?
From the ByteSyze/CompanionCube repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is src/Circuit/Companion_Cube_DIP/Companion_Cube.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Companion Cube design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ByteSyze before reusing the design.
