Fidget toys are fun but lack electronics. Let see if we can make an electronics-based fidget cube. What would you like to see on one of the sides?

Join the discussion where Katie discusses her original concepts.

    There is a link to github at the top. It contains the gerber/drill files for the 3 boards.

    I have no clue about this. Are these files for a 3D printer?

    There are files for sending to your PCB manufacture of choice, and files for 3D printing the case/framework contained in the project.
    However part 2 (episode 548) has improved 3D printed case files than this version.
    Files for 3Dprinting are the STL extention files
    The files in the zip files under New-files_for_manufacture are the files for PCBs

    Looks like there are quite a mix of files file types there Slight smile

    KiCad schematic files

    KiCad PCB design files

    FreeCAD 3D modelling files

    Gerber files for PCB manufacture

    STL files for 3D printing

    MPLabX files for programming.

    If you want to make your own PCBs rather than sending them off for manufacture then perhaps download a copy of KiCad and open up the PCB design files and print off in the format required.
