Thanks for this tutorial it made making my 1x1x1 led cube a piece of cake.
that's the point. ;D
we all know that the cake is a lie.

I hope you make a video on it one day! haha
you don't, know how much I wait for your upcoming videos, I love your videos
+Arpit Sahni Thanks ;-)
+GreatScott! and I
+97Giorgos97 Yes me too!
I'm speak Polisch
me too
I think this is a DIY project much nicer than those i've seen around...
Great job Scott!
YOU HAVE THE BEST ELECTRONICS VIDEOS ON CZcams!!!!! U R AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FINALLY smart LEDs : D i use these for my bike since last year, was thinking when you make a video about them
Hey Scott, little tip: For straightening the wires I found it usefull to use a power drill: Clamp one end of the wire in the drill, hold the other end with pliers, straighten the wire by pulling with the pliers and give the wire like a few dozens of turns (or more if you like). Result: Wire straight as an arrow and stiffer, too (cause of work hardening). Dont overdo it though, as the wire will be more prone to breaking (also due to work hardening). Give it a try! :)
I'm a new subscriber, and your channel is fast becoming one where I really look forward to new videos. I really like your vlog style. Cheers!
Love your videos!They're awesome!Really inspiring!!
Those are some very nice Tronex Pliers. Keep up the good work Mr Scoot.
i love your work bro, keep coming up with the videos.GREAT WORK
truly impressive work Scott.... thank you very much for sharing
Great job ! And Thank you for the links in the description :)
You sir just gained a follower
Great video commentary. When I run out of projects I might try this one for fun.
Amazing job! Can't wait to watch Pt 2 and subscribed :)
+Joshua Shriver Thanks mate!
Great video as always!
Thankyou!
It's about time someone came out with an RGB LED with a controller chip onboard!
thank you I made one of these for my mum, and she loves it :)
You always inspired me with your videos. Please keep it up, teacher
I have no idea how I landed in this video.
But after watching it, now I can't wait to see the second part of it
+GreatScott! I love your video's man! Keep up the good work! :)
+GreatScott!
Schönes Projekt! Freue mich schon auf Teil 2.
Gruß aus Niedersachsen
Thank you for making such wonderful videos. Can't wait for part 2 :)
Sick project Man..... Awesome.
Dude, you and the things you make are so god damn cool.
I always like your LED projects it's super awesome
I don't think I could ever come up with the time, money and dedication to complete this project
Wow, so much work, you are crazy! :)
Your handwriting is so beautiful!
great video
+Gabriel Leite Thank you
+GreatScott!
you could easily cut the acrylic glass just with a box cutter. Sharp on both sides along your lines and then brake it at an etch of a table. This looks a much more better then with a dremel.
PS.:
Nice Videos
This is awesome!
These do look awesome, it would fry my brain trying to figure it all out though lol.
lol I love how you speak
I put these wirez in the holez and afterwardz....
But don't get me wrong, you speak english really good, better than me for sure, and I love your videos.
Straighten the frame wire by clamping one end with pliers or in a vice then put the other end in a drill and pull tension whilst using the drill to twist the wire.
I'm not sure if your wire is strong enough for this method though.
Amazing videos btw, you are very smart. Keep up the good work!
good old Scott. learning more and more how to make cliffhangers.
awesome content I loved it
looks awesome
awesome dude!
freaking amazing !
love it !!
You can cut acrylic much easier .. just place your ruler pick your blade knife and do 3-5 cuts just to hurt the acrylic.. then you can snap it in half ^^ and you go pretty good looking too : ]
1.68M subscrbers! Great job!
ich find dich einfach nur klasse !
+Frownwarrior Awesome!
a Big Like for that I love it
hola, amigo me gustan mucho sus vídeos muchas gracias por compartirlos, desde la linda tierra de Colombia saludos
Thank you for sharing..👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I ♥ LEDs too!
quick tip for arrow straight wire. tie one end to somthing stationary. chuck the other end in a drill, pull it taught and run the drill for a few seconds. the longer the wire the better it turns out.
You should try the TabbedBoxMaker extension for inkscape! Makes life easier and works great!
HI I LIKE YOUR VIDEOS ON THIS LED CUBE
To straiten wire you could also use a drill. Put the wire in the drill take the other end with some pliers and rotate the wire with the drill. Will come out perfectly strait. Just make sure you dont use too much force with the plier since it will make the wire snap.
Wow cool
awesome!!!
awesome channel and great videos. Could you do a project on an interactive LED table with the controller circuit?
Great video as always, btw for quick glue-ups give a try to a cyano-acrylate glue and activator set. ;]
u r really great
*Sweet!*
cool video
Cool. An LED cube was already my next project. Though, I think I'll try my hand at a larger cube.
+Glyph This method also works with bigger ones.
+GreatScott! Yeah! I was thinking that I would need to code a /very/ good interface to make coding animations of any complexity feasible. Will look into this FastLED library for sure. I could see this making life much easier!
I love LED’s too, who doesn’t? 😊👍
Hi thanks for your awesom tutorials, I have ordered 125 diffused common anode 4 pins F5 5mm leds would these work to?
Thanks, love your projects!
Awesome
Excellent video series, again very entertaining, inspiring and interesting! Been searching the regular suppliers for these addressable leds, they are not cheap. I was wondering if you have a special reason for using these PL9823's, there seem to be some alternatives.
Btw love your accent, saw your vid on how you prepare with google translate and all, a lot of effort goes into making these vids, appreciated! sidenote i think you are austrian, not german....i hear a distinct accent, i could be mistaken.
you can add a [volt meter] to easily set the voltage
😮. I work on tube radios. THIS IS OUT OF MY LEAGUE!!!
Your intro music sounds like a Phish song... "You Enjoy Myself" check it out...
Can you do an episode of electronic basics for the quartz ?
I like your videos sir plz send some video to learn about microcontrollers and arduino microcontroller
Great tutorial, Although those leds are kinda expensive at $50 alone. Can you make some tutorials for cheap yet cool projects?
very goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood
@GreatScott! Wenn du Plexiglas Fräsen willst ist es oftmals auch schon hilfreich die Drehzahl runter zu nehmen oder den Maschinen Vorschub zu erhöhen, so dass der Kunststoff nicht zu heiß wird.
Hey Scott! Could you look up on the magnet motor engine? To let's say, power up leds? You said you love them, it would be awesome to see if magnets can power up something that you usually build in videos. I dont know if this actually works, but would be nice to try that :) Greetings
I'm not gonna make this but this looks cool
You can straighten the wire by placing one end in a drill and the other is held with pliers. Spin the drill and pull the wire with the pliers and it will be dead straight!
Sir,
All you videos motivate me a lot.
I'm trying to build 8*8*8 single colour LED Cube on my own.
Just wanted to ask you is it possible to create 8*8*8 LED Cube using Arduino Nano and 8 shift registers ?
Thanks 😊
4x4x4 was much much more complex I like this economic style even more
+MegaSubscribe btw why not using the Jig Board again
Nice :) Thumbs up :D
Alex
Great job. is it possible to design a 3D, RGB-LED with a dimension of 10*10*4 layer? using the same simple tools.
much work.
how about a bluetooth soundcard next? battery driven, so you can hook up mic and headphones via 3,5mm jacks and move around freely
woah woah woah. These are addresable led's? that explains everything why my project isn't working x.x
Power bank tutorial please! :D
Cool..
di you have a vid on how to make an 6x6x6 led cube?
Hi, I really like the simplicity of this build, but I'd like to go bigger, 8x8x8, would this be possible with the same components? I figure I might need a different resistor and probably a more powerful power supply but other than that I would expect this set-up to just scale up?
just ordered the parts, but im gonna try to use an esp8266 instead and make it web controllable
I love led lights to
can you make a video on how to use an arduino nano
uhh, that's cool! i think i can make it.
Very awesome man I'm thinking of getting some of these programmable LED. What do you think about them compare to the ws2812 LED?
+joseph chrzempiec (josephchrzempiec) Pretty much the same. Even the same timing.
instead of using acrylic glass as the base, what other materials can I use? would foam boards work?
Hey Scott can you make a how to video about making a tazer (stun gun) btw great job about the cube
+Jose „MAkP87“ Skopje He is german and there it is illegally to own weapons ;)
Eddy Fuchs ooh ok thank you for telling me :D
could u also use these leds in a 8x8x8 led cube. or would this introduce timing or code issues?
Hello Greatscott , i'm waiting the second part of your vidéo with impatience.Is it possible to have the Arduino code and the diagram of connection to the Nano.Thank you very much.A fan of you from Belgium.
cool
Hello GreatScott! I was seeing this video and i saw your breadboard jumpers. And i was wondering. What are they called? i bought some Dupont ones but the plastic part is rectangular and they break easy. The metal contact pin is metal sheet bent to form a pin. I think your are whole pins. What are they called?
Thank you.
This looks like a fun project to brush up my soldering skills but other than that what's the point of making something like this?
good, trying to do it. what is the distance betwin the + and - line of the leds, 2mm or 8mm, in the base SVG is 2mm, but in video , on paper is 8mm. thanks
hello great scott i have a question you have in your part list a special kind of LED's can you also use other LED's ?
it will be better if you paint all the connections of leds with black paint to get perfect view.
I know this video is 7 years old but I had theorized decades ago on the matrix we exist in during a theory of everything debate way back when AOL chatrooms were a thing and this cube is a perfect example , if you shrink down the LEDs to plank size and the colors covered the entire spectrum of colors in a prism as each pls k sized LED changed colors but done so the neighboring led is what effects the change then you are visually looking at a representation of the fabric we exist in and as the colors change it is also how time becomes a part of all existence when one considers the changes in each color a transcendence of temperature. Also if you eliminate the wires and can make the plank sized LEDs float the gaps between each light is the paths which strings as in string theory traverse through the entirety of space as well as provide the basis from which formulas for black holes quasars stars gravity and so on are created .
