$99 RGB Light Cube

Just saw this in Fry's - $99 - been meaning to make one for a while, but this probably works out cheaper.

Uses a PIC 18F and 4 AHC574 (Edge Triggered Flip Flops) to drive the 64 RGB leds.

Mine has two faulty LEDS - it looks like they just have bad connections, fortunately they are outer LEDs so completely fixable.

There looks to be something like a programming header on the board - so almost certainly hackable.

Initially I thought that $99 was too much, but then when you consider it contains 64 RGB leds, a PIC and a natty transparent cube cover (and of course saves you a bunch of labo[u]r) it's probably a deal

99$ It isn't very expensive. But I wonder how long is the life of this cube.

make the cube bigger with more LEDs, we now have a chance at a hologram prototype.
