Three side side cube

Created by ALDIY & Team

Why three sides ?

because when facing a cube only three sides are visible so that’s purely for cost /effort point of view

We have tested with Mutiple panels but we will go over two examples as they are we seen mostly used by others

Five side cube by Hasenpups

This describes the cube in a earlier version: https://www.printables.com/model/213399-led-matrix-cube The diffusor is printed with PETG and 1mm wall thickness. The wiring is pretty simple as I use my controller with a shield for the connection of the LED panels. Each panel is connected seperately to the shield

How to wire the cube

You can wire the three panel the way you like ( however to use the example ledmap you must keep the same orientation as done in the examples

Flexile 8x8 matrix ( serpentine mapping )

Number the leds as they are wired for each panel (using 1d strip )

Picture 3

Number the leds in sequence according to the default ledmap . This an example only and you can change the sequence to start from other point and you will get different result

Below is the resulting led map which in this example define the fixture as swirl from rings 56,55,40,39,24,23,8,7,191,190,189,188,187,186,185,184, 183,168,167,152,151,136,135,127,126,125,124,123,122,121,120, 119,104,103,88,87,72,71,63,62,61,60,59,58,57,
