How do you make an LED cube 8x8x8 run on an Arduino?

In order to build the layers, take a Sunboard and make holes at a distance of 2.5CM. Place the LEDs and start soldering all the cathodes together. Create an 8x8x8 template so you can create the layers. You will need a MDF board and you will need to drill holes into the MDF wood board to space the LEDs 1/2″ apart.

LED Cube Construction

  1. Carefully solder the anodes of 9 LEDs together making an E shaped structure.
  2. Cut the unnecessary parts of the anode after soldering.
  3. Repeat the process producing 3 such layers.
  4. Solder the 3 layers together by soldering the cathodes of each pillar of LEDs together.

How do I connect LED lights to my Arduino?

To connect several LEDs to the Arduino, connect them to its digital port on the same circuitry. For example, you can take two red and blue LEDs to create the Blink project by connecting their positive (long legs) pins to 13 and 12 pins, respectively, through resistance.

How do you make a 4 4 4 LED cube?

Now that you are geared to solder, follow these steps to solder column layer.

  1. take the template from the last step.
  2. start soldering with Negative leads.
  3. complete one row at time.
  4. solder the positive leads.
  5. remove the Column from Template.
  6. Repeat this process for rest 4 Column Layers.

  1. Step 2: Check All the Leds.
  2. Step 3: Prepare Template.
  3. Step 4: Fold the LEDs ( MOST IMPORTANT!)
  4. Step 5: Place the LED’s on the Template.
  5. Step 6: Solder LED Column Layer.
  6. Step 7: Connect Columns Together.
  7. Step 8: Solder the PCB.
  8. Step 9: Upload the CODE.

What is a LED cube?

Basically an LED cube is a 3 dimensional cube made out of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). The Cube can be made in various ways but for this project, a simple setup is used that is controlled by an Arduino Uno microcontroller.
