How to Make 8x8x8 Led Cube

An 8x8x8 LED cube is a visual treat with 3D effects and patterns. It works on the concept of Persistence of Vision, a feature of the human eye which tricks our brain into thinking that an object is present permanently at a place if it appears about 60 times in a second.

For building, this circuit below components are needed. These are easily available in the market.

1. LEDs (5mm) – 512
2. 150Ω Resistors
3. BD241 Transistors
4. 18 gauge copper wire (500-GM)
5. 74HC574 IC
6. IC Base
7. Arduino Nano
8. Female PCB Connector
9. 25V 1000Uf Capacitor
10. Push Switch

In this article, I am going to make 8x8x8 Led Cube But this time I am not going to explain that much because I have already explained all the steps of making the 8x8x8 Led Cube In a 16 Minutes Video.

Since an 8x8x8 LED Cube consists of, well 8x8x8 = 512 LEDs, we cannot control all these 512 LEDs at once. What we can do is control 64 LEDs at a time at an extremely fast rate and trick our brain as if we were controlling all the 512 LEDs

Sorry I am not writing this article in much detail because I have made the video already in detail. You can watch the video. But yeah I am promising you that I will update is the article as soon as possible.

And by the way, I am giving you the GERBER file so you can download and use it for free. For PCB orders you can use JLCPCB You can order your custom-made PCB From JLCPCB If you are a new user register on the website through our link: https://jlcpcb.com/IYB, and you can get a $30 new user coupon code that you can use in your first order shipment and SMT service. I would definitely say to use this coupon code.

As I already said I am not writing this article in much detail because I have made the video already in detail. You can watch the video. But yeah I am promising you that I will update is article as soon as possible.

So If you follow all the steps, that in video you can easily make this Led Cube 

It took nearly 48 working hours to build the 8x8x8 LED Cube (testing LEDs, bending and cutting the LEDs, making 8 LED Layers each consisting of 64 LEDs, straightening wire for adding tensile strength, stacking those layers vertically, designing PCB, PCB soldering components on the PCB, connecting LED Cube to the PCB, dumping the code and testing the output)
