Hi,
I'm a bit new to all this, but I'm considering building a 4x4x4 RGB cube, following the excellent instructable at http://www.instructables.com/id/4x4x4-RGB-LED-Cube.
I think I follow it all, but one thing I'm not sure about it, in the parts list there are
1x 1000uf 10v capacitor
1x 0.1 uf ceramic capacitor
2x 22pf capacitors
They are in photos but not the schematic. Does anyone know where these might go?! There is a schematic at step 16 (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/30407514/published/emihackr97/instructables/RGB%20LED%20cube%204x4x4/RGB%20LED%20Cube%20schematic%201.png)
There are quite a few guides out on the net about building these cubes, but they all focus on the mechanics of building the cube. It's the electronics I'm not sure about! I can't find any guides that explain the electronics in detail, rather than just dropping a schematic in and leaving deciphering it as an exercise to the reader! Does anyone know of any guides that explain the electronics in detail?!
Starting to think that RGB might be a bit complex, maybe best to stick to single colour for my first cube, but that would be boring!
thankyou
