Build your own 4x4x4 RGB LED Cube using arduino

Contenu masquer

1 Step 1: Watch part 1 of the video series!

3 Step 3: You finished the cube and case!

4 Step 4: Watch part 2 of the video series!

5 Step 5: Order the parts for the controller and solder it!

LED Cubes are awesome. The first one I created was a 8x8x8 blue led cube. It still works like a charm. But being able to display every colour in the spectrum is much more spectacular. Let’s start with a small and simple 4x4x4 RGB LED Cube.

Step 1: Watch part 1 of the video series!

As you might have noticed, part 1 concentrates on the cube itself and the case. No electronics yet. The video should already give you plenty of details. But I will give you a short list of parts that you will need to build the cube itself.

Step 2: Order the parts for the cube!

Step 3: You finished the cube and case!

Congrats on your finished cube and case. It should now look a little bit like mine in the picture. Go ahead and test all connections with a power supply. If everything works fine you can go ahead and build the electronics in the next steps.

Step 4: Watch part 2 of the video series!

The video gives you plenty of info on how to build the controller for the cube. In the next step I will give you the schematic for the circuit and the part list.
