DESCRIPTION

Some time ago I stumbled upon a youtube video showcasing an awesome LED cube that displays animations in 3D. I was intrigued. I searched the internet for a tutorial and found a post on instructable. Coincidentally, the author of the article is the same person who made the youtube video. This gave me the inspiration to make my own. There is a problem, though, that this tutorial requires too many components and some of which are difficult to find. I told myself, "There must be an easier way!". As a result, I came up with my own design using only a few common components. In fact, you might have most of the components for this project if you bought an Arduino Starter Kit or some similar kits. Of course, this design is not the safest, nor production quality, but it's intended to be that way. This project, after all, is a DIY toy I made to fulfill my crave of making things. You can buy an LED Cube kit on eBay for about 2-3 times cheaper than what it costs to make it this way. The only thing you'll learn from those kits, however, is how to solder and that's it. The PCB has all the traces required. The micro-controller is pre-programmed and you don't even need to know anything about electronics to put it together. With that being said, this project is not easy. You'll run into problems and Google will be your best friend. I recommend learning basic electronics and understand how the cube works before you attempt to build one. Also, check out my video if you haven't. Good luck!

Please give a link to the project in easyeda.

Double up on PN2222A?

Why are these transistors in parallel? It would be more efficient and less wiring to use a higher current single transistor. A single TO-220 case 3 Amp BD241C from STMicroelectronics would work fine.

Errors in board

Hi, I detected a lot of bad connections in the eagle schematic, for example T7 base is not connected to T8 base:

And in the shift registers, for example, pin 10 needs 5V, but is not connected:

The complete list of erros:

T7 base not connected to T8
T11 collector is not connected to LSP6
IC 4,3,2 pin 10 not connected to 5V

LED Schematic

IC's U6,U7,U8,U9 are alsio connected to Anodes rows 1,2,3,4. I take it they should be connected to Anodes rows 5,6,7,8

Cara donwload programnya gimana???

Switch led

In this example, we will write code for a switch that will turn on an LED.

To do this, we will need to include the LED library and create a function to turn on the LED.

The code for this example is as follows:

#include <LED.h>

void turnOnLED(int ledPin)

{

// set the LED pin as an output

LED.setPin(ledPin, OUTPUT);

}

To turn on the LED, we first need to set the LED pin as an output. Next, we call the turnOnLED function, passing in the LED pin as the parameter.

Regarding 8x8x8 led cube programming

I had gone through a program which are uploaded on link below :https://github.com/VectStudio/LED_CUBE?files=1
But when I simulate these code in proteus their is not effect shown on LED cube. Then I work on code and found that the first effect is Rain() but the value for the cube matrix is all time zero. Please provide a actual or working code of 8x8x8 led cube. And also let me known if I something misunderstand the uploaded code.
