Hi all,
Congrats about your job here . Inspired by some other projects, I tried to make my own led cube 8x8x8 controled with an arduino. I followed the guide found on:
I finished the construction following this guide step-by-step, using exactly the same components as shown. Then I uploaded some test code (8x8x8 LED cube Test - Pastebin.com) on my arduino and it turned on… sadly only the half (vertically dissected). The other half remained turned-off (not even a glimpse of light).
I tried to change the wire connections somehow to get it work. I got exactly the same result (half lit cube), this time with another dirrection.
I power my arduino via usb from my pc.
I suspect that the power given is less than needed. I tried to give power also with three ac dc converters from Vin port:
first: (output: 3V, 300 mA).
second: (output: 12V, 1A).
third: (output: 12V, 500 mA).
Nothing changed at all. I would appreciate any helping advice on solving my problem.
Thanks in advance.
