Questions

How big is the Led cube PCB?

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

What parts does the Led cube use?

45 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 Led cube KiCad files?

From the thimbleio/kit2-led-cube repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/PCB-Main/led_cube.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Led cube design in my own project?

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