LED-cube programmable: common questions

What microcontroller does the LED-cube programmable use?

The LED-cube programmable is built around the Arduino_Nano_v3.x, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the LED-cube programmable PCB?

The LED-cube programmable measures 50 × 50 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the LED-cube programmable?

31 components, from 7 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the LED-cube programmable design files?

From the Binary-Kitchen/LED-cube-programmable repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the LED-cube programmable design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with Binary-Kitchen. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the LED-cube programmable without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug AVR/Arduino firmware against it before you order a PCB.
