Hello person who wishes to learn the cube's ways! This will be a BRIEF introduction... Basically the situation is as follows: we have a cube, it is a 12 x 12 x 12 cube of RGB LEDs, we have this newly (but probably old when your reading this) created softare architecture that will hopefully stand the test of time (you decide). The things you want to look into are:

LED Cube: common questions
How big is the LED Cube PCB?
The LED Cube measures 193 × 121.9 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the LED Cube?
113 components, from 15 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the LED Cube design files?
From the c3n3/LEDCubed repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the LED Cube design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with c3n3. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
