This is done by button cell SR2032, it’s a lithium ion battery that has a terminal voltage of 3V it is perfect for checking LED, and one can also use MULTIMETER to check the LED.Īfter confirming all the 27 LEDs are working keep it aside and lets move one to next step. You can choose any LED type or color of your choice, but the LED with colored shall work great for this projects.įor the cube we need to spare 12 pins of UNO.ĪRDUINO UNO, 220Ω resisters (3 pieces),, power supply (5v),Īnd a empty cardboard box, pencil, ruler and some jumpers.Īt first we need to check each LED, once the cube is done if there is any faulty LED present in the cube it would be very difficult to replace, so first we need to check each LED.
The UNO pins are capable of delivering 20-30mA.įor the cube I chose clear white LED, because I have them spare. So we can drive 9 LEDs carrying 2mA current from a single pin of UNO with no problems. Anything higher than that, the LED will heat intensely and it will burn out. Normally an LED works well from 2mA to 5mA. We need not worry about power drawn by LED because the LED usually stated to work at 20mA current but that is wrong, that number provides the maximum current allowed through the LED. We need lesser logic terminals so we don’t need shift registers or anything like that.We don’t need any switching electronics for this cube.For this cube you need not to worry about power consumption or dissipation.But every cube more or less works on the same way.ģx3x3 LED cube is simplest because there are some advantages to this design like, With each higher number, the work almost doubles or triples. For 4*4*4 LED cube the work almost triples because you need to do work for 64 LEDs. There are many types of cubes that can be designed. For a beginner we will start with a simple pattern.Ī typical 3*3*3 LED cube connected to UNO is shown in the image above, the cube consists of 27 Light Emitting Diodes, these 27 LEDs are arranged in rows and columns forming a cube. In this project we are going to design a 3x3x3 LED CUBE and connect it to Arduino UNO to get different patterns.
