Overview
3-D cube of LEDs Audio/visual effects in real time Completed within budget Presented at URC in April
Problem Definition
Build cube of LEDs 8x8x8 single color LEDs
or 5x5x5 RGB LEDs
Program LEDs To light up in different patterns To change in sync with music playing
Control with computer
Design Objectives
Block Diagram
Start with 3x3x3 single color LED cube Experimentation Learn how to use Arduino microcontroller Work on light and music programming Mimic expected design for second cube to
become familiar with final circuit on a smaller scale
Design
Goal: 8x8x8 single color LED or 5x5x5 RGB LED
Enabling LEDs
Design does not allow for LEDs in separate columns to light simultaneously
Flash LEDs faster that human eye can detect (persistence of vision)
Anode & Cathode Mapping
Solder Cube Check solder points
before adding next layer
Construct LED driver circuitry
Wooden base LED Casing
Building
Major part of project Testing- results will not be qualitative Programming
Get acquainted with Arduino software Lighting- patterns Music- spectrum analysis
Testing & Programming
Size 3 single color cube Size 8 single color or size 5 RGB cube Effective light and music synchronization
Programming development has no definitive end
Dependent on time and knowledge of Arduino software
