2 layers78 × 100 mmButton pcb, the printed circuit board in 3D

The Luciebox was originally meant as a gift for my niece Lucie. It started as a weekend project but evolved into a monster with 22 apps and games. For babies, kids and adults to explore and have fun with. Every bug is considered a feature :) It is powered by an atmega328p on a custom pcb. It's arduino based in order to allow enthusiast kids to easily modify the code! Enjoy, Sensory Overlode

About

A busy box is the official word for a sensory exploratory platform for babies. This project was made as a birth day gift for Lucie Ameije 2019-04 Turns out, it's as interesting to adults as it is to babies. 95% ignores abandos the box after five minutes. 5% gets hooked for days.

Upload

  • Open the arduino IDE
  • Open the "luciebox" folder in the IDE
  • Compile and upload should go smoothly.
  • (alternatively Platformio for VS-code can be used)

Versions

  • F301: 2021-03-19: Version uploaded before sending boxes home
  • F302: 2021-04-20 For the v3 startburst pcb. -F303: 2021-04-21: Small bugfixes, easier debug of selector dial in settings app . -F306: 2021-10-15: Improve user experience. Dream mode app better suited for toddlers.

Questions

How big is the Button pcb PCB?

It measures 78 × 100 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Button pcb use?

23 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 Button pcb KiCad files?

From the hyperlode/luciebox repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/Luciebox_v4/button_pcb/button_pcb.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/Luciebox_v4/button_pcb/button_pcb.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Button pcb design in my own project?

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