I recently ordered this kit, I know this is an old video, but it has helped GREATLY. Mine came with ZERO instructions and I have a feeling I wouldn't be able to read them if they did. I have watched (most) of the videos on UKposts assembling these kits. It was very confusing because some people had the Anode going into the board and others the cathode. I plan on just following your build regardless. Thank you for taking the time to make this to help others like myself to build this. I really appreciate the tip about orientation. I seen one video where he installed all the led's pointing up, that seemed like a much better way, but there was not much instruction given for that.

Thank you for doing this video. I just finished putting mine together and it looks great. I would have been lost without this video. Thanks.

John, Thank You for the video/documentation !! I was able to assemble/wire the cube with minimual problems (three solder joint breaks.) Now I'll need to learn programming for the computer hook-up part. Thanks again !

Nice job, dear!! Thanks, this gave me confidence to buy it!!

Nice video. I just bought the kit and I'm ready to solder them together. Subscribed

Thanks for your video! It was very good. I am thinking to build one! :) Best of 🍀!

Hello John, what software is used to program and create our own standard? Thanks

Thx a lot for that video. Do you have any experiences with putting your own programm permanently to the controller?

Great video John. Do you perhaps have a good way of seperating pin headers?

Hello, please, can you send me the photo of the back side of PCB board. I ordered unwelded one, but seller ddnt send to me instructions, where i should put capacitors and transistors...(( they have color designations, but i dnt know where they should be on PCB board UPDT: Thx found your photos in comments 👍🏼

What is the name of black colour board plz reply and what can purchase in online

Thank you John for your video, it help me a lot to build the cube. I have a question: "What is the name of the program you use to control the cube via PC?" I took a look into the zip file, mentioned in the other comments, but I didn't find it. Thnx.

If I may offer a construction trick, solder the little 'connectors' to the ends of the LED array first. They are MUCH easier dropped into the holes on the PCB than trying to jam the LED leads into the little sockets on the connectors. Of course this means that the whole array needs to be soldered to the PCB permanently to keep the LED array from popping off the PCB. I built my second kit this way and save a lot of frustration. Hope this helps someone.

please, can i help me?I need the software that I've seen on your youtube. I bought the same kit, but the software was written in Chinese. I'd appreciate if you can give me the link for downloading in English. thanks Paul

Hey greetings, one hobby I have bought a kit and have finished assembling it, I thought it was programmed in STC IC and apparently not and now I'm confused about what to do ☹️ and I think now I need software to program it please help me🙏🙏

Thank You for the documentation !! But i have a problem to connect PC with USB to Cube. How do connect or whatever Driver i need?

What this is PCB?

Hi John - great video! Careful what you ask for. I just got my kit and the main board was NOT assembled - it came with zero instruction (just a board and a bag of parts). The seller finally got me a parts list and a schematic. I am an advanced tech, but wish me luck anyway. I will consider your cage assembly advice of course (side vs. bottom, test as you go, USB dongle...). The seller also did not send the software. Can you provide a link or resource were I might find it? Thanks.

Hello. You seem like an expert, and I am not finding any more information googling it. I just finished building this exact kit. However, programming is a huge headache. Even more work than building the kit. When I plug it in, all the LEDS turn on and theres a very vague animation where most LEDs stay one and some turn off. I can't get anything else uploaded. I tried using STC-ISP but it has trouble recognizing .HEX files I feel like. I tried using 3D8 TF software but even though the COM port is connected, it doesn't control my cube at all. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Where can I find yours part 1, how to build electronic board for this LED cube? Thank you.

Hi John I have purchased the same cube 8x8x8 I've fitted one 8x8x8 led matrix and it works OK but when I fit two it seems to short out. I have checked the LEDs and there's no shorts.

Hi John. I have purchased the same kit but unlike yours the board is not already soldered and I have no instructions of where the components go.No instructions come with the kit. Do you know where i can get the instructions

Where is your part 1. How to build electronic board? Thank you.

what do you do, it more than one LED comes on in the testing? I have already replaced the LEDs, that comes on once, but it doesnt solve the problem. :S how should i fix this?

Je recherche la nomenclature pour assemblage des composants sur la platine merci

I riceved circuit board and electronic parts, can you explain me how to soldering ?

Price ?

Thanks to your video, I was able to assemble the LED's for this same light cube. My led's are square, so I have a different jig for them, which I like better, 'cause they don't turn around in the jig, which makes it easy to bend the leads, and solder. I also was pissed that they pre-soldered all the board components.My kit came with downloadable info, but it's all in Chinese, and only some of it is copy/ pastable to translate. Another disappointment. I was able to correct the mistake you made, of led facing direction, but I pulled them out to bend the common anode tails , and when I put the blocks back in, I put them in 90 degrees out. So I had to pull the whole assembly out from the pins, and reinsert them correctly. Only took a half hour to correct. After I powered up, the sound doesn't work, and I think that the sound chip might be bad, as one of the speaker leads, was making contact with the mounting post. Do you think that's possible? I'm kind of at a loss, as there's no manual, as to what the functions of the switches are. Can you help? My email address is Mahogany 36619@yahoo.com

Hi, I have the same board that hasn't been soldered, however the supplier didn't send the schematics or build instructions and I'm really stuck. The supplier is in China and just not communicating with me.

Cant get the led bending right, can you explain more deeply? and maybe with some high resolution pictures?

hello do you have a solder circuit smd capacitors?

I am interested to build one need the link to buy the kit

where can i find the zip file with the software pleas give me a link

one more like and sub 👍
