Yes on the custom animations video! Cheers, Chris.
who's chris
At the start... I can do this easy.
By the end... Damn thats a lot of work!
The simplified design is great, this might finally get me to build one. Please add a video on how to program animation.
Great video as always!
Really inspiring project, I didn't know these LEDs existed in this package.
I would appreciate a programming tutorial, because I find it hard to develop algorithms for my 4x4x4 RGB LED Cube.
love the construction and explanation. Keep up the good work!
Finally, I was waiting for this 2nd part so eagerly. Can wait to build one..
love it! you made it really simple for beginners thank you.
Looks great! I'd love to see a video on creating animations for this cube. How much did this cube cost in total?
+vidm96 Around 60-70 $
+GreatScott! would it be much cheaper with an MSP430? I'd also like to see the code to drive the LEDs. Thanks for another (two) great videos!
+Bernhard Hofmann The Arduino Nano costs $2-3, so MSP430 isn't really cheaper than that.
+Bernhard Hofmann Just take the price of an arduino and subtract it with the price of the MSP430.
Me also!!
Wow! I wished I had that kind of free time! Nice project!
Fantastic video,
Im going to give this a try and build a christmas tree instead of a cube!
Thank you for this second vidéo.Great job.
please do the animations video! :D nice project
Marking the locations with solder is so clever!! 1:02
Lt of patience is needed for the job thanks for video
Erst mal richtig geile Videos produzierst du und ich wollte dir nochmal ein großes Dankeschön aussprechen, da ich durch dich jetzt weiß was ich studieren werde richtig cool machst du das ich Feier dich !!!
Linus Mann hier ist einer der es durch ihn auch weiß
Excellent video. I would love to see a follow on one showing how to create the custom animations...
Hello Mr Scott.
I would immensely enjoy if you could do a video tutorial regarding custom animations.
Keep up the good work Scottie.
GreatScott! another awesome video.
finally a video I understand of yours!
Super schön, sieht nach sehr viel Arbeit aus. Und die Lötstellen sehen Topp aus! Gratulation. Freue mich auf die Erklärungen zur Animation. Yes please.
+norm1124 Er hatte im ersten Video nen 10x10x10 Cube glaub ich und der ist noch mehr Arbeit
Great Scott! Another Great Video! Yes more about the code and also scaling this up to 8 x 8 Please
great as usual.
keep going mate.
Hi, I have build a same cube following your instruction. Same type of data corruption occured, So I thought I would have to solder all the horizontal connections of VCC and GND for LEDs but, it turned out to be different frequency from power supply and arduino. (I was powering up arduino with USB port then). After some testing with few LEDs on bread board, it worked fine once they had same power source. Thanks to your video, I managed to build one too. (it doesn't look as nearly neat as yours though!)
you did a really great job to simplify the light cube, we can drive it with just a Arduino!
But I still have a little confuse of the led circuit.
I have to study the circuit.
Holy Moly, was ne Löterei. Sieht Klasse aus!!!
I would like to see the programming behind this, how you can controll so much data with just a few wires. :D
I really like this project. I think I got the part with the LEDs, and connecting them up with each other, but sadly you lost me at the part with connecting the power supply and the arduino.
So cool. Thanks for sharing
Would love to see the tutorial! Awesome video ;)
Looks great in the end, but i personally have to say, that i liked the conecpt of your first RGB Cube more.
With normal RGB LEDs, TLCs it just looks like its more/better even though this one is much simpler.Just my personal opinion
omg that looks so cool!
Nice video! A suggestion for straightening wire: Try using a drill. Put one end of the wire into the drill, and hold the other end with whatever you want (if you bend it you can even use your hands). Then run the drill. Don't go too fast though, or the wire may break. This makes the wire more sturdy than it originally was in my experience.
I was also wondering how the data is clocked in. I see there are Vin, Vout, Din, and Dout pins. How is each bit clocked in? Is there an internal clock? If so, what is its frequency? Otherwise, how does the LED know new data is available?
GreatScott! good job
Nice video thank you very much
A big like again I love it 👍👍👍👍
Nice video !
nice project!
As always nice video
Please make a video on air purifier (negative ion generator)
Thanks
very good tutorial
i am so doing this when i have time.
Yayayyyyy! Part 2!!!
Nice wire strippers, what brand? Like those better then the two jaw type that strips horizontally!
Me too, I hope to see the tutorial for animations/codes for this cube.. Please GreatScott..
Hi, great videos I always enjoy watching them. But I have one question about the power wiring. Although I have wired everything as you described, I still have data corruption at the third layer. I have tried changing the voltage slightly and replacing some faulty looking led but to no avail.
Love this channel
I want this in my house but want nothing to do with building it hahaha. Well done ! It's awesome
Could you make a video about programming your own animations for the cube?
Great Part 2, please do the custom animation video
Please do a video for programing the animations!
GreatScott, custom animation programming would definitely be super cool mate, especially the animation of letters and numbers. Is there a way to control the brightness of individual leds? This could be useful for replicating ascii art in light, but naturally a larger cube or flat matrix would be best for such things and I imagine that the same principles and techniques apply and are scaleable to create whatever you desire.
Custom animations video would be awesome!
What might be the reason for thee weird behavior at 5 volts? Is it possible to happen the same in WS2812B too?
Very cool!
great video
Pleasure to watch
German perfectionism
Great video! How do I know what resistor to use?
Well you make it look "easy" but I'm up for the challenge, just need to find the time!
Make a video about custom animations! It would really help me and others
Yes I would like to see custom animations.
Echt schöne Anleitung! Der Würfel ist toll geworden aber über ein Video über die Animationen würde ich mich noch freuen.
Great movie.
I'm not so familiar with electronics, and in the link you provides, the 5V power supply cannot be changed to 5.5 V as in the video.
I have a question please: 5V might make trouble, so you set to 5.5.
Could you, instead, put a different resistor? maybe with lower resistance ?
Thanks
Great !
Did you manage to add your own animations ? if yes, how did you do it ?
Thanks
Where do you get your nice ass mini hand tools set that you use to cut wires, or hold screws, even tighten nuts & bolts ?
I like dath awesome job sir tnx lot love it's 💕 💕
seems pretty cool, I just don't have the patience to solder all of that..
Can you make a video about the oscilloscope ?
I like your videos very much i look every day if a new video is online
Hola excelente trabajo!!! una pregunta el software y/o programa para hacer funcionar el arduino y el cubo??. Saludos y gracias
I would like to see how to create animations. Nice cube geeat job man. 👍👍👍
Hi! im in the last step for building a 10x10 led matrix using the PL9823 and i got a question, are you powering it from the 5v pin of the arduino? since the led cube draws around 6 amps, is it possible for the arduino to deliver such current?
nice video but how do you make custom animations?
Great Video.
Animation video are wellcome! ;)
sorry i don't understand,why you make four holes for 4 wires in a top for data in to data out, when there are 5 rgb leds in a vertical line? can you explain to me? thank you.
Can i do it with common anode or common cathode led's
Awesome work! You are an impress guy. Plans available!?i know your time is short. Good job!
Very nice cube. Is it possible to make 5x5x5 cube with normal 8mm leds and how?
Can you put the power supply inside the box too or would it overheat?
Will a 3mm drill bits be able to break veroboard tracks?
Hey Scott. Great Project, and id really like to learn how to custom programm led cubes like these ! Stay Creative :)
which wire and solder would you recomend for soldering led cube ?
Please do a video about programming a led cube
Can we use thew led serial software to this project ? Or How can we show texts in it ?
i have questions .
How do you clean your soldering iron ?
I want the same soldering iron as you can you show us your equipment ?
Thx :)
super cool
Nice to finally hear you say copper correctly :) just kidding, awesome video, just like always
Can you tell me what DMX software you use for a 3D matrix?
would be rly cool if you could make a Video on building a mechanical Keyboard
Very good tutorial! Are there any design considerations of doing a larger Arduino-based cube using ONE data pin vs. one for each layer? Also, it's been almost 4 years since your video and I have found VERY FEW cube projects that uses addressable LEDs (PL9823, WS2811, APA-106, etc). Care to comment?
great project as alwways but you sould make a video about programing the animation that will be awesome just to learn how to programme!
Did you wire all the LEDs in parallel? Could you do it in serial? (Less soldering?)
nice, got idea to make something beautiful as gift.. can you show how to make 8x8x8 led cube using arduino nano please
Sir, do you have a new codes for some animation effects?
What about the custom animation Programming? Please explain the programming
One question is it posible to turn single L.E.D at the time?
could you give a link to the 0.75 solid wire you use ? thanks
Great tutorial, I'm going to have to build myself one of those :)
One thing though; Why didn't you export the micro USB of the Arduino Nano to the base case? That way you would only need to hook up a cable to re-program it instead of lifting the top off.
great video! very informative as usual..
I was wondering if you could show how you could program the first LED cube that you made. it was a very satisfying build for me but i still don't know exactly how to fiddle with the code a bit.
+Brandon Pais I think I talked about the code in the third part of the series. I will not go into more detail than this. Sorry.
great project
but, how is one wire controls each of 125 leds ?
Can I light up a specific led ?
What's the name of that sound "effect" in the beggining of the video?
Hello Scott, I created the cube all the way, but when I power it up, the signal does not travel thru some of the lights, I have tried everything, checked the wiring, changed the LED's and still stuck with the same problem, rather strange I should say, by the way, it is not my first cube, I have done a few before... Any suggestions?
without ws2811 ic fast led codes are working?
