Building an 8x8x8 LED Cube from an Amazon Kit - Arduino Compatible

I decided to finally try and assemble this 8x8x8 LED Cube which I bought as a kit off of Amazon. It came without any instructions and I haven't been able to find a set of instructions specific to this cube design, but I managed to assemble something which appears to be working correctly.

The cube is supposed to be Arduino compatible, so next, I'll be trying to program my own lighting effects using the Arduino IDE as well as make an Acrylic case for it.

Here's a link to similar kits on Amazon if you'd like to try building your own:

If you've got any suggestions for Arduino, Raspberry Pi or electronics projects or tutorials, let me know in the comments section.

This was a huge help for me! I bought the same cube with the same missing parts. I contacted the seller and was sent instructions in Chinese for a different board. They never said anything about the missing parts, but they were easy enough to obtain.

I'm late to the party and have only just started building my LED cube ! Would love a follow up video on your experiences trying to program it ! ???? Its 3 years later ofc and you have most likely forgotten and moved on !

How long to complete this project from start to finish ? Did you look at other YouTube videos of these being made ? I saw one that had a cardboard template being used.

An 8 by 8 matrix might be able to display letters and numbers. Could you consider this type of program - that is to make a led presentation ?

Do you have an email i could send pictures of my cube and get some help, I've got the layers wrong and my lights are dim
