Overview This device tends to create a large, animated, self-contained visualization cube of LEDs which can be used mostly for artistic purposes and other uses. Explanation The first part of the construction includes the basic 4x4x4 prototype followed by a few more prototypes and some explanations of the programming done such as interrupt driven, 256 color modulated, controls, animation, and debugging support. More updates were done on the third part followed by designing some nice PCBs to make cases, power supplies, and final items. The cube and timing will be controlled from the PIC which runs at 1MHz instead of the 32MHz. From the first generation PCB, the 4x4x4 cube was designed with modulated bicolor LEDs in 256 color. There are extra wires used for programming and the final one will only have power wires. In order to make some polished cubes, there were acrylic laser cut cases used. The next step will be an 8x8x8 cube based on the same ideas but using a Gumstix instead of a PIC18F4620. The main CPU board has plugs to run the timing board, connects to the button board, and a switch to toggle programming or running modes. Rest of the project
