It seems others are finding my assembly method to be favourable to the big wooden rigs. If you'd rather just build it the way I built mine, go directly to step 9.

So, with that in mind, I WILL show you how I built mine (steps 9 to 15 currently) but initially we will go on the assumption that you will build Nick's assembly rig modified to a 26.5mm spacing to fit my board. It did work extremely well though, and I was quite happy with the results! That's why my previous cube assembly method used a cardboard motherboard box for the LED layer template. My problem is that I don't get along well with wood. When I first started looking for my Next Big Project (after the original 8X8X8 LED mono colour cube) my searches came overwhelmingly to two. Nick's method is great if you enjoy woodworking, or you can use mine if not.ĬLICK HERE TO JUMP TO MY CONSTRUCTION OF THE CUBE You can use the cube assembly method Nick Schulze at uses, however I did develop my own assembly method. This was originally inspired by the project by Nick Schulze, and then added to using the project by Kevin Darrah.

I will add code here as I create more animations using his template. See his page at for information and downloads.

SPECIAL THANKS to Doug Domke who is making firmware templates for the PIC32 (ChipKit UNO32) which work much more like standard Arduino code so that we can more easily create animations on the PIC.

Jerry Lesnefsky and Karl Moeller made a great little music module that fits onto the base / driver board, and allows the PIC ChipKit Eliminator to plug right onto it - and in the process, noticed the the I/O Aux header has A2 and A8 labelled backwards on the eliminator board !!!! If you are hand wiring a music module to your ChipKit Eliminator, please make note of this! We currently have code for the Arduino UNO, the ChipKit UNO32 (PIC32MX processor), the ChipKit uC32, The Arduino MEGA2560, and my UNO Eliminator boards (which get rid of the last of the wires) There are a few boards left for the "back order club" but those who have been waiting the longest get their boards first!!! Backorders and new orders are finally shipping again! ATTENTION: If you ordered a board months ago and have NOT received a refund - CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY.


To those that got the Mini Music Module before Feb 2015 - due to a change in the parts kit, the USB port MUST BE MOUNTED TO THE BOTTOM OF THE BOARD!!! The V4.X music modules fix this, as well as an input sensitivity issue. Once you select the circuit board, you will see links down the right for any parts kits etc you might need. Please make sure you get your parts kit from the links there - don't use the cheaper kits offered by sellers other than WKWS20. Inbox me for direct board pricing and availability or go to. TO THOSE THAT CAME HERE BECAUSE YOU FOUND THE PARTS KIT FOR THIS PROJECT ON eBay - NO the parts kit does NOT include the circuit board - it's the parts kit FOR the circuit board.

Plus Doug Domke made a whole new set of code from scratch that makes creating your own animations easy!Īlthough the majority of the code written is for the ChipKit UNO32 and uC32, Kevin's code for the Arduino UNO, and the version I ported to the Arduino MEGA2560 work on the same cube just by adding a couple jumper caps. Now we can run the animations and use the code by both Kevin Darrah and Nick Schulze (slightly modified, but basically identical - minor timing and layer control tweaks were all that was needed). It's been a long time coming, but my Universal RGB cube is finally ready!
