Questions

How big is the LEDcube PCB?

It measures 40 × 40 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the LEDcube use?

31 parts, built around the SP3485CN-L, WS2812B and BAT60A. 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 LEDcube KiCad files?

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

Can I use the LEDcube design in my own project?

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