LED-Cube

8x8x8 LED Cube

8x8x8 Single Color LED Cube built with an AtMega32.

Hardware

You can find the schematic as png and Eagle file in this directory.

Firmware

The firmware of the Controller is yet to be developed… It will use Peter Fleury’s UART and TWI Library.

Cube Control

We also build a software to create and load animations into the cube. This software is written in Java and C and should work on Windows and Unix. It’s source is in the “Cube Control” directory.

Build instructions

Theres a global makefile in the top folder. If you run it, it will (probably) create CubeControl.jar, CubeFirmware.hex and a OS-dependent serial library (Serial.dll or libSerial.jnilib…). If not, you should take a look at the makefile in CubeControl. Hard-Coded include directorys are probably different than on your system… You obviously need a working JDK and a C Compiler Environment (we use gcc). CubeControls makefile will autodetect a Windows Host and compile a Windows Version accordingly. If it is not on Windows, it will compile a Mac Version. Unix is currently not supported by the makefile, but should work if compiled manually.
