You got lucky - I had no instructions at all. Just a bag of some random stuff - go figure ;)

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thank you!

Yes, spinning inside is possible. Actually, any animation you could think of (given the limitations of this display) is possible. I've seen people connected these cubes into a massive array and displayed a life-size running horse in it. Soldering iron - one of the inexpensive ones. One thing, though - it has a power regulator so I am not worrying to fry sensitive electronics.

Iron is a cheap low-power one from Ali Express, just make sure it has a regulator. Flux is whatever I bought from a local electronics store, it's liquid and I use a thin paintbrush to apply it. Solder - is a lead one (never use a lead-less). I use two diameters - one for soldering LEDs to each other and another for soldering thicker wires to the already soldered grid (so the grid won't de-solder by accident). The biggest point to have the accurate and fast soldering is the perfect timing and a good hand-eye coordination, and that you get by experience. In two words - I am touching with my iron both wires simultaneously and in a split second sticking there a solder wire so it would touch both wires and a hot tip simultaneously. This way the solder melts and flows around both wires forming a perfect joint.

Just re-watched a piece from this video and remembered that I had used a different soldering method - get a blob of a solder on the hot tip and barely touch both wires - blob got transferred there forming a good joint. Key is to apply a flux right before and keep the wires from moving for a second so the blob will solidify.

Nick Makarov Thank you for the tips, I think I'll pick up a 35W iron (I've been using 65W), a regulator, some of that liquid flux, and proper solder tomorrow. And then practice, practice, practice. Do you need a particular kind of solder to get it to blob up on the iron tip so easily or is that just from the wisdom of practice? Thanks again.

@@flossflink Thanks so much!! That was a real help!!❤️

+james brewer I think it was 1 inch. Just enough for a bended pin to barely overlap with the nearby one.

Thanks! Again, Great video!

Don't be frustrated - this is what you pay for, aka "cheap chinese stuff".

I got 3 of them and one I got a remote control and a SD card holder under the PCB board and it's got a speaker under the PCB to and you can connect your phone to it and I got a colour one and a blue one like this one to

It is arduino, just different packaging.

@@nickmakarov ooh, I see. Sorry, this is the first time I've seen an arduino with that packaging. May I know the name of that arduino ? I only know two types of arduino, uno and atmega.

Well, Ali Express has lots of them. Cheep, too.

Something arround 2,5 cm. Because the LED wire is something arround 2,7 cm.

www.icstation.com/lightsquared-8x8x8-cube-white-blue-p-3531.html heres a whole kit to start,but i suggest for a beginner to go with the 4X4X4 it also comes with a pvc plastic display ^^

+Romio Ghose Yep, it is designed to do that. But I accidentally fried its microcontroller, so this cube is just another piece of decoration in my office. I have another one, 4x4x4 RGB, and it is a lot of fun to program the smaller one.

8x8x8 RGB means four times more soldering, and the space is tight... much more care should be taken.

yeah, that's cooling things down, definitely ;)

You're welcome!

It's not very hard, but only practice will make perfection.

@ LALIT MOHAN PRADHAN hier ist es was du wissen mußt: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/e5yqiJ-af2h7xac.html

5v USB power supply from some cell phone, nothing fancy.

sir which board are u using for the led cube stand (in which u have fixed the led cube structure)

Do not have it, sorry. Check AliExpress or similar sites, they sell complete kits with diagrams and components.

oh thx by the way.....i will take care of it

You're welcome

Shaking - you mean, mechanical shake? During soldering or when the led is in the array?

Yes. And How far apart are the LED's when you was soldering them?

about an inch apart

Hello yes the mechanical shake. How would you stop that?

Never been defeated. Maybe because I never played that game? :)

Nick Makarov should definitely play it if you’ve played the previous call of duty games

Relaxation.

Gasgiant why is that important to you?

Hi Nick, just makes for a better all round tutorial rather than just a video but it’s not that important!
