This quick tutorial will explain in step-by-step how you can implement Quadrum on your cube. Animations can be streamed in real-time from the editor to the LED-Cube with the help of an Arduino library, alternatively get uploaded to the Arduino through the use of the editor’s code generating function. Quadrum is an open-source LED-Cube framework that helps you create and upload animations to the cube (the cube can have sizes between 2x2x2 and 8x8x8). Together with an awesome 3D-screen as an end result, you will learn how to solder, control a large number of LED:s, program microcontrollers and much more!

This part of the code is scalable to facilitate the sending of information to cubes of different size.įor the creation of animations in the cube we use the voxelWrite () function, this function allows us to change the state of a led according to some coordinates x, y, z.LED-Cubes are fun DIY electronics projects that (depending on the cube size) can be really beginner-fiendly.

Depending on the cube size to design the number of shift registers in the project changes. The need to translate the Boolean array to an array of type byte appears, each byte represents a record. It's divided into two parts, one is responsible for varying the status of each led by changing values in the array, the other part is responsible for sending information to the registers.įor sending information to the registers, the shiftOut () function is used, having as input a byte type data, it generates the clock and data signals for serial transmission with the registers. The code consists of a Boolean array of 512 values that represent the status of each led. We hope all people likes this instructable. Here we attach a list with the necessary material: For the project, we have used Blue Leds and NPN transistors. We present some steps that can make the project easier, although this takes some days soldering. The software part consists in an scalable library, which has been implemented in order to be useful for other projects.Ĭontrolled by an Arduino Uno, five hundred and twelve leds form this cube, and as they are separated in columns and layers, each one can be switched on individually. The hardware part is composed of the Cube, and all the connections, as well as a base which support the design.

The project in general consists in a co-design hardware and software. All started as an idea for the subject ' Creative Electronics', belonging to the Electronics Engineering 4th year module at the University of Málaga, School of Telecommunications: In this instructable, we're going to show how to build an 8x8x8 Led Cube.
