In this tutorial I’ll show how you can create your own LED Cube 3x3x3. I’m sure you already saw some similar projects to this one but you never took action and made your own. Now it’s time to make your own!

By the way you can find more project here: http://randomnerdtutorials.com/

Watch this Demo Video of my project:

All Parts Required

Download the library here.

Be sure to download the library and unzip it to libraries. If everything is correct you should find an example in the Arduino IDE software under File > Examples > LedCube > ledcube.

Upload that ledcube example!
