This is an amazing project, Lawrence, on many levels. First the mind to imagine it, then the intelligence to design it, the patience to construct it, the persistence to debug it, and finally the dedication to complete it. Really, really wonderful! But some of the commenters make my blood boil! Sir... Please show me all your hard work for free. And even if you gave it to them, it would be... But sir that's too hard to understand. Please write me a 12-15 page paper so I can submit it for my degree. Then... Sir, I want to build one. Please purchase and send me all the parts. Then... But sir, it's too hard to make. Please construct another so I don't have to go through the trouble. But sir... I want to make money, so please build many so that I can sell them. I'm not sure how you don't get rude?!? I guess it all goes back to your quality of personal patience. Maybe you need that kind of politeness to be a business man? My Father had it too, but it's not something I've been blessed with. I would have not been so nice with some of my replies. More likely, many of the comments would have just been ignored. Good luck with making this a commercial venture. It's damn cool! As Elon Musk often says, "Making a prototype is easy [not really], but production is hell!"
Yes, I'm still trying to commercialize these cool led cubes! . Thanks. I wear many "hat" , one RU-vid friend told me, it's a hard job, I have to use many time to do everything about my Demo prototype of design, so it's really some time, six months more not working on this MultipleCube things. Now almost every prototype I have upload done checking , So I will come back to check the formal version of these 8*8*8*x cubes ASAP, and modify the firmware. and I will shot another serial videos to show the result. then I would like someone would like to buy them. Thank you.
1 I'm going to release the improved information soon about How to use my computer App to let user be able to edit the show style of their own favorite.(the example of this is about 3D sphere I uploaded in last two weeks ) (I will release a serial of demo show about 2D dotMatrix: built and edit your favorete pattern show..... in next weeks) 2 I wanna establish my own bussiness about all the demo show in my RU-vid Channel. so , I used a lot of time to develop those project a little cheaper(The demo shows in this year) 3 I have the idea to improve 16x16x16 , to get the same frame rate like this 8x8x8*7 (another demo is 8x8x8*11), the Demo of 16x16x16 is not good (3D LED Cube 16x16x16 RGB DemoV1 20% bright) and didn't meet my expectations. you know, this 16x16x16 project is so expensive that I have to put it on hold. 4 Thank you for you comment.
1 Basic unit is 8*8*8 or 8*16*16 2 Every unit has a CPU --stm32f103 control showing. 3 If Cube is 8*8*8x ?(1---24 at 10fps, I have no that more cube, roughly calculated , it can reach maximun 24 ), then only the first One is the master cube , the others are slave cube 4 the master cube's CPU --- a: calculate the showing data , b: transfer the data to all the slave cube, c: show its data on itself 5 slave only get data transfered from master cube, pick up the data according itself ID, then show data ,
@@annamotiwale1998 I'm doing on the third revision of motherboard , maybe need one or two months, then I'll consider whether share circuit diagram. I wanna make this series of cubs to be a real commerial product. so , now I have not decided to share the programs.
3D LED Cube - Lawrence 1 minute ago 1 The basic unit is 8*8*8 cube , I have caculated roughly, at 10 fps( frames per second), the maximun is 24 units can be connected to show as a whole. 2 Every unit have a control CPU ( stm32F103xx) , only the first cube CPU does the job of caculating the data of show and transfer the data to other cubes, the other cube's CPU only using the data transfered to show on itself. 3 All the LED are soldered on the PCB. 4 I have made the Demo software to let the user can built himself's style base on the inner show styles, I'm gonna give the video to show the function of the software ( with the new version of firmware--- now 60 inner show styles build_in when I finished the new modification of hardware--- mother board, as soon as possible )
Yes, I wanna sell these 3D led Cubes ; What kind of style you prefer? 8*8*2? 8*8*4 . ... , or 8*8*7 ? , ..... I'm one person doing almost everything. So, it's really too slow to push these cute cubes out into a marketable product. if sell it using a fixing show mode like those in Demo shows, it could be done last years. But that not fit my idea. There's only a little I need to check to complete the 3D led cube Editor, to let users to edit the display, such as speed, show style, color, etc. And make the firmware to be easier to update to newer version later. What's your idea about these project? give me an email : ylcdou@gmail.com
I have done the third revision of motherboard. I haven't checked all the functions. Recently, I'm doing , you have seen some ring things. I would like to shot the other series of spectrum analyzer video ( spectrum analyzer prototype check and Demo show), and then go back to 3D led Cube, when all the formal board can be named as V1.x . I would like to share some details with my subscribers. the prototype show before , it could show the Demo, but not fit my all ideas like that it could be recognized as a product , sort of this things. So when I have uploaded aonther series of 3D led cube videos. please contact me again. Maybe need two months.
hello.nice project.. i need your help.. im making 4×4 cube... instead of purchasing single coloured led..i bought RGB with having only two terminals(anode, cathode) is there any chance to change its colours??.. or either it'll glow on blue only i think.. if short amount of supply is passed... please help
Hi AK27: is there any RGB only have two terminals(anode, cathode)? , Watch my 3D led cube: 8x8x8 bi-color, it's 4pin LED, two anode,two cathode(actually two led bonded together), can change color at least 3 , or using PWM control can be more color to show. Or 4 pin RGB, one common pin(anode/cathode) + 3 pin(cathode/anode), but it's more complicated for Cube design. ws2812 is more easier for hardware and firmware. And... , you have any idea need my help? email me: ylcdou@gmail.com
@@akshaybansod9413 Oh, I see. There is also other 'Special' LED, for example, glows at the speed set when fabricated, those Led can not be controlled their color, speed, etc. They are special 'RGB' , not the generic concept of RGB Led.
Your 'RGB' led is " a led glows in constant sequence of R, G, B when 3V provided", not a RGB led that can be controled seperately by R,G,B pin or data(WS2812 series)
@@3dledcube-lawrence460 Subscribing. Great design Lawrence (I think the lights say Larry? lol). Don't give it all away for certain. Hell thanks for sharing what you have so far. Every time I see something like this people want "the whole thing". A true maker appreciates the design, simple tips and heads to the Laboratory with Dr. Frankenstein to design their OWN!!! ;-)... Seriously, Kudos. I'm in the throws of learning electronics design along with Robotics and want to do some LED projects. This one gave me some great ideas! THANK YOU! To Patel above? Dude cmon, you got this. Take what the man has shared and dig deep. BUILD YOUR OWN AND THEN SHARE A VIDEO!
I'm trying to make this to be "commerical " product. I still need some time to finish( mostly in hardware, I need some modification to be done as soon as possible). Thank you for you asking for cost things. Please contact my by email.
