8x8x8 LED Cube
PART NO. 2168940
This LED Cube will light up any party. Your friends will be mesmerized by its hypnotic effect as lights dazzle and dance in brilliant
patterns. It utilizes code based off of Instructables designer, CHR, and uses an Arduino UNO to power the cube and act as a
programmer. This cube gives of a warm glow that is pleasant to the eye to entertain any person of any age. Though it might quite a
commitment to build, the effort will be worth the wait. Surprise your friends and family with this incredible art piece, as it will be sure to
turn heads. Don't skip this wonderful project because it offers invaluable opportunities for electronic construction and Arduino coding.
I'll just leave it up to this video to convince you that this will be the next project you will be building.
