LED Cube 3x3x3 with Arduino

This is the 3x3x3 LED Cube I prototyped off the bread board in an earlier video (See link). Now it's all soldered together. Again, built while following the "LED Cube and Arduino Lib" tutorial on Instructables. Built as part of a class, "Electronics for Art and Design."

didn't you use the transistors to power leds from external source?

[brionwolf]

@greenoakst Hi Greenoakst,

Each of the 9 columns of the cube are the daisy chained positive contacts of the LEDs in each column. Each of the 3 levels of the cube are the connected ground contacts of the LEDs on that level.

The transistors are simply switches for the grounds of each level helping to complete or disconnect the circuit. In this video, the cube is connected to my computer via USB for power.

I hope I answered you question, if not, feel free to reply.

@brionwolf can i get the copy the code of this led cube...please..

[brionwolf]

@christy00900 Hi Christy,

If you look in the description of the video you'll see a couple of links. One goes to the project page. The other link goes to the instructable I used. You'll find the code there.

Hope that helps!

cool!

[brionwolf]

@lanjore Thank you!

1. make like 100x100x100

2. make it with colorable diodes

3. connect it to your computer

4. watch movies on it!!

@IAMmrDDD If you buy me the 1 million LEDs needed for the project I'll do it! ...3D glasses, eat your heart out!

[SerhiyMykhayshyn]

@IAMmrDDD 3D movies :D

@makrisj google lytro camera.

Well, it looks like we are one step ahead on the right direction. A camera can capture raw light and post-process it for focusing. This is a leap forward for 3d holography, but I guess noone has even considered about it yet.

OMG, they don't know what they designed! lol

fun..

Do you know where can I find more about this makrisji?

Thanks
