README
README.mdSmartCube
SmartCube is a modular, connectable LED cube platform. Each module is a small PCB containing addressable LEDs and sensors; modules mechanically and electrically connect using pogo pins and neodymium magnets. This monorepo contains KiCad PCB sources, a CadQuery 3D-model generator (that uses KiCad STEP exports), and firmware for the microcontrollers used across modules.
Key features
- Modular PCB-based cube modules with addressable LEDs and Hall sensors
- Electrical connection via pogo pins; mechanical coupling via neodymium magnets
- ESP32 used as a power/aggregation/controller cube
- PY32 microcontrollers used for individual LED modules
- CadQuery scripts that generate printable enclosures using KiCad STEP references
Project Structure
-
PCB: KiCad projects for the LED module, power supply module and pogo pin connectors, as well as helper scripts for panelization.
-
3DModel: CadQuery scripts to generate 3D models of the cube modules and enclosures, using KiCad STEP exports as references.
-
Firmware: CMake-based firmware for the PY32 microcontrollers used in the LED modules, with support for flashing via ST-Link and esp-idf-based firmware for the ESP32 power/controller module.
A devcontainer exists for development for the 3DModel and panelization.

Questions
How big is the SmartCubePanel PCB?
It measures 137.5 × 132 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the SmartCubePanel use?
767 parts, built around the PY32F002BF15P6TU, ESP32-C6-MINI-1-N4, 0402WGF1002 and SK6812MINI-HS. 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 SmartCubePanel KiCad files?
From the Dennis960/SmartCube repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/Panel/SmartCubePanel.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/Module/Module.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the SmartCubePanel design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Dennis960 before reusing the design.
