Hi, i don't have a schematic, but it is really just 8 74HC595's linked together for the 64 positive connections of the cube "columns" and 8 TIP122's for the negative layers. In the description there is a link to another person's blog with a bit more info that may help.

can i use the 74HC138 before 8 transistors to use 3 pin from arduino instead of 8 pin ?

[abooklaaka]

this is really awesome!!! i wanna build one as well, can you give me a specific list of materials that you used? and where did you get the glass case for you cube?

[GeekGuyMJ]

i'm not sure. I moved it to my office and a few solder joints came loose, so it's not perfect and it probably doesn't ship well. It took so long to make. For curiosity sake, how much would you be willing to offer?

Can you make a tutorial on how to do the instructables except modify it for an arduino?

Hello Matthew,

I was wondering how long did it take you to build the whole thing?
I have a massive project for which I wanted to do this, but am afraid of the deadline and don't really know how long this would take...

thanks for the tip!

Can you send me the schematic you used to make this and where you bought the parts?

[GeekGuyMJ]

Hello, I know that can be done, but I'm not sure how to change the code for that.

Hey! how have you managed to put the transistor's "references" for each layer? They are very well hidden! Nicely done

I keep getting.... TimerOne.h no such file or directory. Any ideas? Thanks

[zemgeek]

how to use arduino for this please. have you a schema please?

Hello,

Thats a very good cube.

Where can I find the arduino files timerone.h and string.h ?

Thank you.

Hello, I was wondering if you had a working code for a 8x8x8 Blue LED cube powered by Arduino Uno. I am no programmer and have no idea how to go about writing codes to make this cube work. My knowledge is basic and only know how to paste the code and run the compiler to check for errors, if errors are found I am not advanced enough to figure out a fix. Please help if able. I inherited this cube and would like to make it work.

can anyone tell me the difference between made in china arduino and a made in italy arduino ? i'm searching it online but i cant find.. help

[rotorway]

yeah well I bought a 8x8x8 cube kit from the damn thing doesn't work very well at all. After tons of troubleshooting I believe that the main IC is screwed up. No support from the seller....so...I will built one myself ...similar to yours...also with an Arduino. Thanks for the info !!!

hlw sir how to all connection details arduino pin

[GeekGuyMJ]

That's awesome. Glad it worked and helped!

[GeekGuyMJ]

Thanks, it took a long time and lots of planning. the case is plexi-glass that i cut to size and used hot glue to hold it together. the video description has the part list. if you have most specific questions, I'll try to answer them.

Hey Matt. Great job. I am also a fan of these cubes and made one myself. Indeed, they do take a while ... lol! Here is my latest upload:

I tried to stay with the Uno, but to be able to store some of the rasterized graphics, like the Santa/sleigh and the alphabet, I found I had to upgrade to the Mega 2560.

Hi, thanks for asking. I don't have any notes or diagrams I made for this but I did find a blog of someone else's that is the same style as mine and that might help. Hope that helps.
