Questions

How big is the Cube PCB?

It measures 36.5 × 58.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 2.63 mm thick.

What parts does the Cube use?

10 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 Cube KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Cube design in my own project?

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