Muy buen trabajo, excelente e ingenioso, quiciera saber si con esta matriz se pudiera proyectar en forma de imagen 3D con movimiento utilizando el interior del cubo. Lastima que hasta ahora 2019 me encontre este video.
I hope you don't mind answering technical questions? Is that a 200W or 250W iron in the background, and what is the precise height of your ironing board? :) Just kidding, well done on building your 3D matrix.
Yes, spinning inside is possible. Actually, any animation you could think of (given the limitations of this display) is possible. I've seen people connected these cubes into a massive array and displayed a life-size running horse in it. Soldering iron - one of the inexpensive ones. One thing, though - it has a power regulator so I am not worrying to fry sensitive electronics.
I am in awe of your soldering kung fu! I am making a similar cube right now and just spent a solid 6 hours making just one 8x8 grid. It works, but it looks awful, and I used easily 3x more solder than you did. May I please ask what iron (and regulator), solder, and flux you're using in this video? Thanks!
Iron is a cheap low-power one from Ali Express, just make sure it has a regulator. Flux is whatever I bought from a local electronics store, it's liquid and I use a thin paintbrush to apply it. Solder - is a lead one (never use a lead-less). I use two diameters - one for soldering LEDs to each other and another for soldering thicker wires to the already soldered grid (so the grid won't de-solder by accident). The biggest point to have the accurate and fast soldering is the perfect timing and a good hand-eye coordination, and that you get by experience. In two words - I am touching with my iron both wires simultaneously and in a split second sticking there a solder wire so it would touch both wires and a hot tip simultaneously. This way the solder melts and flows around both wires forming a perfect joint.
Just re-watched a piece from this video and remembered that I had used a different soldering method - get a blob of a solder on the hot tip and barely touch both wires - blob got transferred there forming a good joint. Key is to apply a flux right before and keep the wires from moving for a second so the blob will solidify.
Nick Makarov Thank you for the tips, I think I'll pick up a 35W iron (I've been using 65W), a regulator, some of that liquid flux, and proper solder tomorrow. And then practice, practice, practice. Do you need a particular kind of solder to get it to blob up on the iron tip so easily or is that just from the wisdom of practice? Thanks again.
@@nickmakarov ooh, I see. Sorry, this is the first time I've seen an arduino with that packaging. May I know the name of that arduino ? I only know two types of arduino, uno and atmega.
This is what is so confusing to me and why my three kits have only been completed to the PC board. In the last video I watched, the LED's were placed exactly like yours, BUT the Anodes (long legs) were bent down first and soldered. There must be a couple of ways, common anode and common cathode for making the matrix. Unfortunately, a lot of these kits come with no schematic or instructions and you have to go on a search to find a seller with the same PC board that may have provided SOME information....frustrating
I got 3 of them and one I got a remote control and a SD card holder under the PCB board and it's got a speaker under the PCB to and you can connect your phone to it and I got a colour one and a blue one like this one to

+Romio Ghose Yep, it is designed to do that. But I accidentally fried its microcontroller, so this cube is just another piece of decoration in my office. I have another one, 4x4x4 RGB, and it is a lot of fun to program the smaller one.
