Imagine lighting up the 21x21

[@PBwithParity519]

,my dad wod and i dont want hem too

[@s.ganeshkarthiks4642]

Yeah

[@Somebody0726]

Imagine fitting a sand grain in the 21 x 21

[@karenwoodrow2777]

Oof imagine

[@resell_enjoy6]

That would be kind of crazy.
You might need to mortgage a couple houses to buy one, but it would be cool.

[@notenoughobbys1628]

I think your battery in your cube went bad. Whenever you unplugged the cube from the charger it immediately shut off. Also the battery looked to be expanded too so it was a good thing you took it out. Thats awesome reusing the cube for something really cool.

[@Box223]

I believe this is exactly what happened. Those batteries can expand and become more dangerous than before. Usually, the best thing to do is replace the battery with a similar or identical replacement. Maybe he will do that and mod a regular cube to turn it into a smart cube using the GoCube components.

[@MrZeino-ph9le]

Aw, I was hoping you would do a solve in the dark.

[@leightonjeppesen9016]

Dude same

[@bertalankis7883]

insane creativity, amazing execution, very fun presentation. you truly impress me with every video you make!

[@kajiuce]

the actual pacience from you is insane man. Keep it up!

[@codyboop4617]

That is incredible! 👏🤯

[@DrBlort]

The battery consumption is higher because of the microcontroller, not the LEDs. The original chip is probably custom, or a very low power microcontroller.
Anyway, awesome job! I like it a lot.

Good video!! Also I have an idea for a cube. A 3x3 cube, but with large centers, wide edges and small corners like a 5x5. I hope you'll make such a cube in the future!

this is hands down the best creation you've made to date

Now make a Rubiks cube where you ask Alexa “ Alexa turn on my GO cube”
And then, that Rubik’s cube that you just made lights up🤗

[@Me_a_Pro_Cuber]

I thought I was smart. Good video

[@Swordkirby9999]

@3:25 Well, that may explain why the thing stopped working. The battery appears to be expanding

[@notsogoldenpizza]

You should make it light up in the dark or try solving in the dark

[@nintendomal9161]

Is it possible to put magnets in an Axis Cube? Or even a Kilominx?

[@JbPerm-fv1gp]

Can you share the program and schmatic?

[@user-gt5bj8rt3i]

Even if he was gonna replace the obviously bulging battery, he would have to resolder the centers and other stuff. Still feel bad about the cube but it’s worth it for a video😂

[@user-gt5bj8rt3i]

Also they use li-ion batteries so that’s why they last for days

[@CubingCubed]

I love how he always just does things better, than other people. (I don't mean that in a mean way)

[@mushroomcraft]

You could optimize the software on the micro controler (maybe it's not optimal - running repetitive code 1000x per second ect. You could also wire up little batteries in each of the centre pieces, and wire it all up in parralel to add more battery life. Cool idea.

[@Milestheotherguy]

No matter what video you make, I will always watch.

[@user-op1xd4lk2u]

we need a short where we have the RGB cube flashing colors with the lights up while like idk, astronomia "coffin dance" plays. Idk

I have a challenge for you - try making a speedcube using wood

[@lonelyknot]

Im wondering if you can somehow hack the cube by seeing what the data sent by the ribbon cables is and then interpreting them with something like an arduino.

[@MannifyYT2023]

Whaaaa

[@thebananaspeedruns9275]

Try making Smart Force cubes
They would be expensive but worth it

[@theanomynusguy]

imagine combining this with the rotation sensors to make it light up to show your next move in a solve...

[@RobloxBacon684]

Make a cube with 2 corners. (Good Idea)

[@SaitoTheSmashGame2005]

How did you even program it in the first place?

[@Z3Cubing]

The ESP microcontroller was surprisingly easy to program with the Arduino IDE. From there, you can find example code for just about anything (controlling LEDs, Bluetooth communication, sleep/wakeup), so it was just hours of combining and testing those!

[@Box223]

@@Z3CubingYou can fix your old smart cube internals by replacing the battery and then fit them into a different regular cube. I'm sure that probably would be much easier than what you did in this video.

[@kilgorezer]

​@@Z3Cubing How far could the microcontroller go? Could you have the colors rotate with each turn?

[@user-ik4bx3bz6e]

Aw I wish I can buy that;{ but good job on making the code for the rgb

[@CXLVII]

We got an RGB Rubik's Cube before GTA 6

[@kilgorezer]

How far could this go? Could you have the colors rotate with each turn?

[@Z3Cubing]

Theoretically if you kept all the sensors intact, then painstakingly wired them all back up, you could absolutely do that. It'd just be a stupid amount of work.

[@ItzTeranex]

It looks like the battery is expanding in the core and it is probably dead which why it don't work anymore
