LED Cube, Arduino Diecemila
A while back, the Dorks at Dorkbot DC had a little soldering party. For some of us, this resulted in cool 3x3x3 LED Cube. For all of us, this resulted in a shiny new Arduino Dicemila. The Arduino Diecimila is a nifty prototyping board (http://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardDiecimila), and stringing together 27 LEDs couldn't have been easier.
Since there are plenty of good photos on Flickr, I'll spare the Internet the indignity of yet another LED cube. However, I did write a little code module for mine, which had the two benefits of easily re-arranging the order of the output pins (so I didn't have to pay attention to this when I was soldering), and of running a cute little test pattern.
So, if anyone has stumbled across this page looking for code to modify for an Arduino LED Cube, stumble no further. If anyone wants to see my LED Cube in action, or needs help soldering one of your own, I'm always game for dorking around on Capitol Hill in DC. Email me!
