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.

Questions

How big is the Luciebox v2 PCB?

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

What parts does the Luciebox v2 use?

99 parts, built around the ATMEGA328-PU, ULN2003A and BC558. 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 Luciebox v2 KiCad files?

From the hyperlode/luciebox repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/Luciebox/Luciebox_v2.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 Luciebox v2 design in my own project?

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