Questions
How big is the Lightbox PCB?
It measures 87.5 × 66.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Lightbox use?
73 parts, built around the SK6812. 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 Lightbox KiCad files?
From the hackclub/pixeldust repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is submissions/3XAY_Lightbox/src/lightbox.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Lightbox design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask hackclub before reusing the design.
