RGB LED cube 8x8x8 (4)

[powertoolification]

Make it play Snake now. But srsly, this is awesome.

[hoihiugufufy]

Now try to make a LED Rubiks Cube.

[02watsot]

ITS THE ALL SPARK

[berber1899]

have you ever considered using arduino?

[xE4syComp4nyx]

holy crap!!



[JustPhilo]

Did lumisense publish the software I should I go look for different compatible software?

[0oSandero0]

light emitting diode?

[MrLEDLamp]

@0oSandero0

Yeah,it is Light Emitting Diode in short.

Hey,Happy New Year!!

i can offer you more living and magic picture about LED lamps,just like the lamp shown on my picture,our lamp with color-chaning function.leave me a message or email me at myexpress001@gmail.com

i will reply to you soon.TKS.

[TheKingOfKool100]

What would be even cooler is making each of the 4*4*4 cubes start changing colors like the 4*4*4 cubes do so you'd have 3 running cubes changing colors as they move

[upperlevelthegreat]

Could I please buy a finished one? I just have no idea how to do the things required to build one myself. I have seen the 4X4 ones and 6X6 ones for sale, but not the 8X8, which is the one I want.

[m3axis157]

haha.

[drgoodH3rb]

hey dude, nicely done! how much voltage do you use to light up all those leds ?!

[binhdt1k52]

can you send me the codes for this ,please.Thanks

[binhdt1k52]

can you send me the codes for this,thanks!

[legokidnaruto]

0___0  how do you control all of those led's?

[MrLEDLamp]

@legokidnaruto

you can controll it with remote controller.

[MrCoolpoper]

so coooooooooooool



[animegirlever]

nice!! :D

[dennygp]

OMG o.O 512 RGB LEDs *Respekt*

[BboySnakeMaster]

LOL

[lordcaos777]

Las cosas que uno ve jejeje...quiero uno de esos para mi cuarto

[oinkurrboinkurr]

your website doesn't work sir.

[DJBMan330]

Dude That's Wicked!!!!!

[wequechito]

se hubiera visto chido si al final los tres se juntaban n_____n

[saledigitalac]

SOmeone have one big brain here :D

[EA1088]

One of the more interesting ones I've seen :)

[Arnileini]

Thats pretty cool!!!

[PerryWerneck]

Amazing!!

[MrTylerSiwy]

Thats too cool!

[Revolver0312]

can somebody tell me what kind of diode are these?

[burtek17]

nice...

[danimal511]

wow

[trufa12]

MassEffect 2 Music :D

[ollit100]

nice

[dpgfernando]

where can i buy one of these?

[eduxas0]

@dpgfernando for more information please follow the link found in video description

[WallZZZZZ]

@dpgfernando

If this cube would sync with my music and run a variety of music visualizer type animations in a way that requires only installing some software on my computer, I'd pay good money for this.

BTW, if you could do that I'd suggest getting it patented and start sellin these.

[tatko333]

@dpgfernando i want to buy it too

[rhinohelmes]

jay!

3D tetris!!

if someone could make that it would be so awesome!!!!

[Lvciv1]

fukn crazy! wow!

[MrAnimefancrazy]

how long sis u made this?

[felipe4884]

wow..

[PA9CW]

Very NICE !!!!

[jodex96]

Very very cool!

[super6plx]

now just imagine millions of them.. as in pixels.

the world's first true three dimentional monitor.

[supergenius1994]

or, you could use steam and 2 projetors

[simpleinsanity1]

would love to learn to program like some of these guys!!! This is amazing!!!

[yashirobi123]

@simpleinsanity

than do it!

its not that hard and its pretty cheap too.

just get a breadboard a few AVR atmega8 processors and a programming device.

all in all you may have to spend ~80€

the programming environment is for free (AVR studio)

one color 3*3*3 led matrices are a pretty good beginner work ;)

[N3CR1S]

i would by that for 1500 dollars!

[tiagofumo]

lol, you can build it with a bit more than 160 dollars :S

512 rgb leds, soring iron, transistors, resistors and a microcontroller :S

[aviran12]

lol....that took some time only to program it

[CaptainBallToucher]

actually i was thinking rubics cube

[bitrex]

Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Yup, time to build a 3D tetris game.

[stryker406]

that would be cool, but where would the blocks fall from?

[rodstartube]

usd 819,2 i meant on just leds

[rodstartube]

512 leds at usd$ 1,6 USD $768 on just leds... you must really like it..

[VortFTW]

Rodstartube, if you buy LEDs in bulk they're a lot cheaper. I bought 50 Blue LEDs for $2.99 on eBay. But the more you buy, the more you save.

[conor1148]

i found a place called "MPJA" i think online. i got 200 red LEDs for less than $5 i think.

[Ryuuken24]

Dude ! This is awesome !! Can I suck your dick, I'm thinking, maybe I can be as smart as you if I did it ? Joking man, relax, but good job, whish I was done reading how to program, dorn it.

[seboat]

its a new baby

could be a 3d television maybe a couple of years !!!

nice work...

[sliver4321]

I like the music that's playing in the background. Can you tell me who it is? :)

[eduxas0]

Sure : ) it's 'Crucial' by Klute.

[B1ACKF1RE15]

damn that waas really good, NOW GIMME!!!!! i want it :(

[speakers11223]

nICE

[justinc18]

Hey dude, beautiful job. How would something like that cost in material? Plus I would think it'd be a good project to learn how to code in python as I'm thinking about it. I started, never finished. :P But, I'd go for it if I could do something like this. Was it hard to program, too?

[JuanCho3D]

COOL!!!

[themainproblem]

That was very cool! Nice job.

[HoodSta93]

what kinda LEDs are those, how do they change colour

[aktechfreak]

They are RGB (red green blue) they have most likely 4 pins: red (+), green (+), blue (+), and a shared negative you control the color by applying negative to negative, and positive to the color pin you want to light up for example: you want to light up red and green at the same time on the one RGB led: you apply negative to negative pin then positive to red and green. You can then mix and dim different colors together

[kosec321]

u forgot to mention that if you connect the shared negative to the battery...and the 3 + pins fron each collor together and connect to + in battery you get white color :)

[DragonLord6444]

OMG I LOVE IT!!!!

[teslaresearch]

Very Nice! I was looking at the photos on the site posted in the description and I noticed you are using PIC microcontrollers and a lot of glue logic, and I am curious if you have considered using a CPLD to replace the glue logic? I am thinking about building one of these cubes, but using a CPLD to handle the PWM for the RGB bus and the switching of the matrix.

You have created a great device for motivating people to learn more and think differently..thank you for sharing your work!

[eduxas0]

Thanks :)

When this (first) version was being built I wanted to build the controller as fast possible, just in order to see that the whole thing is actually capable of displaying animations in a.. visually pleasant manner. Thats why I went for shift registers quick and easy. Some time later, we started working on the second revision of this project. We did consider the possibility of replacing shift registers with CPLD or FPGA, but decided to use dedicated LED controller chips instead.

[vicjz]

very nice =)

[crapkillerz]

You brilliant son of a bitch. Thats amazing.

[punksincrestaa]

how to program that?

congratulations

[eduxas0]

Thanks. You may find more info by clicking on the link in the video description. Schematics and PCBs will be there free to download. You will also find simple instructions on how to obtain the source code.

[Coinincidences]

Holy crap that is fucken AMAZING!

[WTFuckRemix]

cute They sould put more LED lights in sweat suits and fashion.

[Sil3ntP8nd8]

what size led's?

[eduxas0]

They are 5mm LEDs

[malcolmst]

Oh and nice job on the cube, that's amazing!

[eduxas0]

I appreciate that :)

I think I saw several companies under the same (or very similar) name. So to make things clear here is the web page of the company that I bought LEDs from: w w w . v-electronics . c o m. And there is no need for distributor since you can order directly from them. Shipping charges were about $20. Just drop them an email to find out any more of the specific details :)

[malcolmst]

Thanks a lot!! I'll do that.

[malcolmst]

Funny question, but how did you actually order from Victory Electronics? as far as I can see they are in China and I have not seen any distributors? Thanks!

[ghpk]

thats an awesome LED CUBE, I wonder how do you join them so correctly that they appear cool.

Are They RGB L.E.D. or single color.

In my country its difficult to find cheap RGB's single color are their for very cheap price.

[eduxas0]

thanks. Well it took some time to allign all the leds properly.. I've used thin copper rods, which served for two purposes: keeping leds in place and carrying control signals. The leds are rgb. As far as i remember they where 0.4$ each. I bought them from "victory electronics".

[ghpk]

Thanks for the details.

is there any circuit diagram available for this ?

[N8Sound]

schematics?

[Optimus6128]

I like this.

[neojav123]

Hi eduas!

Currently I am building something similar. I know the basics, but, what kind of microcontrolers are you using? I am using Atmel 80c51, but I will be needing a lot of them.

Any help will be appreciated

[eduxas0]

I've used two microcontrollers: pic18f4550 and dspic30f4011. I'm not quite familliar with the capabilities of 80c51, but you should almost certainly be able to reduce the number of required microcontrollers by using shift registers and multiplexing. Good luck with your project :)

[123456789Zulu]

good

share schematics please :D

[eduxas0]

thanks, but actually I don't have one : ) When I started building it I went straight for PCB design. However, I can send you Eagle PCB design files if it's gonna be of any use to you. To run this thing you'll also need some firmware for two microcontrollers, software for PC and lots of spare time :)
