8*8*8 Led Cube
this is a 8*8*8 led cube
Supplies
Here is what you need to make a LED cube:
- 512x LEDs (plus some extra for making mistakes!)
- 64x resistors. (see separate step for ohm value)
- 1x or 2x large prototype PCBs. The type with copper "eyes", see image.
- 1x ATmega32 microcontroller (you can also use the pin-compatible ATmega16)
- 3x status LEDs. You choose color and size.
- 3x resistors for the status LEDs.
- 8x 74HC574 ICs
- 16x PN2222 transistors
- 16x 1k resistors
- 1x 74HC138 IC
- 1x Maxim MAX232 IC
- 1x 14.7456 MHz crustal
- 2x 22pF ceramic capacitors
- 16x 0.1uF ceramic capacitors
- 3x 1000uF electrolytic capacitor
- 3x 10uF electrolytic capacitor
- 1x 100uF electrolytic capacitors
- 8x 20 pin IC sockets
- 1x 40 pin IC socket
- 2x 16 pin IC socket
- 1x 2-pin screw terminal
- 1x 2wire cable with plugs
- 9x 8-pin terminal pins
- 1x 4-pin terminal pins, right angle
- 2x 16-pin ribbon cable connector
- 1x 10-pin ribbon cable connector
- Ribbon cable
- 2x pushbuttons
- 2x ribbon cable plugs
- 9x 8-pin female header plugs
- Serial cable and 4pin female pin header
- Piece of wood for template and base
- 8x optional pull-up resistors for layers
- 5v power supply (see separate step for power supply)
Making
first make the 4*4*4/5*5*5/6*6*6/3*3*3 led cubes for practice
then try 8*8*8 led cube
Circuit
follow the circuit and make the led cube
