Coding an Arduino to solve a Rubik's Cube | Code explained

A very detailed video on how I built a machine which solves a Rubik's cube, explaining how I wrote all the code and controlled the parts. There is enough explanation to build your own!

There are still mistakes in the code which do not always present themselves, so the cube may not always solve.

Not only excellent work, but excellent description of design and construction!

Thanks for this breakdown. This is a behemoth of a project that the crazy part of me wants to approach once I get more experience with Arduino.
That solve almost seemed counter intuitive towards the end. It looked like the first two layers were solved, and then almost got completely jumbled, and I was thiking 'what the hell is going on' and then, BOOM! out of nowhere it's solved. Congrats on making it work.

The "YES" after it finally worked the first time, I felt that

Awesome Work Dude. Really admire your work.

No point, other than to prove your genius. Fantastic work, thank you for sharing.

Man, great job. you deserve more views.

When you can’t afford a gan robot. But you have a genius brain 😂

Hey Fred, I'm currently working on a similar project but im having trouble with the setup of multiple stepper motors. Is there any way I can get into contact with you to ask some questions on the specifics of your setup? Great video, thanks in advance

[mohammadsheikh]

Amazing project, absolutely love it, Infact i would want to make one of these for myself, if you could help me with the stl files and code, it would be awesome

[antonioannandono]

Can I contact you about this. I’m doing a similar project for a competition and I need some coding help. Let me know where to find the links to contact you please.

That's pretty cool! How does the arduino not accidently remove other pieces while putting in one piece? asking because I don't think you were using algorithms

[HarshPatel-mewu]

Hello, @Fred Meinertzhagen is there any way you can share the stp file of the laser cut parts you used in this project, please.

Hey Fred, I have a question for you. I'm working on this school project where I decided to build and code the whole robot (i have no experience at all). I have one year to finish this project plus write an essay on the whole process and i was wondering how many hours a day you worked on it. As I said i have no experience at all and i would like to know if i can learn how to do this in one year. Thank you and great video btw.

So when allocating the true colors (the ones truly on the cube) to their positions with the buttons (beneath the title of the colors they should exist at when solved). Do you just need to memorize the order in which you press the buttons?

Hi fred i have trouble with connect the motors to the cube. Can u pls give me the stl file for your connector because it seems like it will work on mine. Tnx

[baptistedelaverny]

Hey Fred, loved your projetct !! I was just wondering how software did you use to create the simulation of the circuit on internet, thanks for your answer !!

[tobiastheiner]

Hi, I have a question at 6:30, how fast is the motor there? (how much time the motor needs for one quarter move)

[simonO]

Great video! Do you think you could share the code and stl files in the description?

[maorshalem]

hi can i get the 3D model file pls? tnx

Hello, how do you go about taking the zero point of the stepper motors?
