@GreatScott! Wenn du Plexiglas Fräsen willst ist es oftmals auch schon hilfreich die Drehzahl runter zu nehmen oder den Maschinen Vorschub zu erhöhen, so dass der Kunststoff nicht zu heiß wird.
For the germans in the commentsection: If you don't like the softness of copper wire (bends easily >.>), you can use steel wire. It isn't as solderable, but good enough. Graupner sells straight steel wire. 0.8mm*1000mm costs around 30cents or so.
I find it very hard to find proper documentation, or even just information on how these diodes actually work. It all well and good that there are libraries out there to control them, but how are they actually controlled? And what are the limitations? How many can be daisy chained together, how fast can you push the data, and so on and so forth. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And of course, thank you for your hard work, that too is appreciated.
That's just trolling. I said I've looked, and I have, and then assuming that I haven't is just being a troll. If you know something which I don't, please enlighten me, or go find a bridge to hide under.

hi ich bi 15 jahre alt und liebe Elektrotechnik. ich versuche immer über das Internet, Informationen oder schaltungen zu finden(blinkerschaltung oder ein simpler flip Flop) ich würde total Freuend wenn du mal ne Rubrik machen würdest wie zum Beispiel“the simples“ wo du dann einfachere schaltungen erklären und oder bauen könntest. ich würde mich sehr freu wenn du dir für sowas Zeit nehmen würdest :D
hey greatScott!! i need ur help!! i have some cellphone cameras lying !! i wanna reuse them!! the phone is totally broken but i have 4 or 5 cameras! I'm not willing to waste them!!! will u come up with any projects related to this!! ? ....
Dear god, my first ever project was building the 4X4X4 RGB LED cube thinking it would be quick, but took me months. All that soldering on the circuit board w/ the 3 TLC chips and the arduino, MOSFETS, etc.... I just finished it 3 weeks ago. Now I see all I needed to do was get these bulbs and run the whole cube off an Arduino... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
ive been trying to make the 4x4x4 plan since early/mid 2014 and ive been putting it off. i recently etched a custom pcb for it because i couldnt be bothered soldering jumper wires literally everywhere
Hey Scott, little tip: For straightening the wires I found it usefull to use a power drill: Clamp one end of the wire in the drill, hold the other end with pliers, straighten the wire by pulling with the pliers and give the wire like a few dozens of turns (or more if you like). Result: Wire straight as an arrow and stiffer, too (cause of work hardening). Dont overdo it though, as the wire will be more prone to breaking (also due to work hardening). Give it a try! :)
+GreatScott! you could easily cut the acrylic glass just with a box cutter. Sharp on both sides along your lines and then brake it at an etch of a table. This looks a much more better then with a dremel. PS.: Nice Videos
Sir, All you videos motivate me a lot. I'm trying to build 8*8*8 single colour LED Cube on my own. Just wanted to ask you is it possible to create 8*8*8 LED Cube using Arduino Nano and 8 shift registers ? Thanks 😊
@GreatScott! I love these basic videos, since I'm a programmer and I don't know much about electronics..... I've a question: are those LEDs like the Neopixels? (You talked about daisy chaining the data out with the data in...) My guess is that the Netopixels will keep the value they receive, and these ones need to be refreshed as fast as possible.... right? What are the diferences? (I'm asking because Neopixels are super exepensive... www.adafruit.com/category/168) I want to do something like this: ruclips.net/video/DTb0k_P1wlY/видео.html (Be able to control each pixel in the table...)
I like very much your channel and watched the majority of your videos, but please, stop with this two parts 5-8 minutes videos! I know it's very time consuming, but waiting a week for another 5 minutes is too much. I'd prefer 15-20 minutes videos once every 10-14 days.
You can cut acrylic much easier .. just place your ruler pick your blade knife and do 3-5 cuts just to hurt the acrylic.. then you can snap it in half ^^ and you go pretty good looking too : ]
I want to make a 10×10×10 RGB led cube. Can you help me about this? I can make the led structure but can't make the driver. After building the led structure how can I make the driver? Can you help me?
at 3:08 , how does that space fit in a 8 mm hole for your schematic? On the right hand side, how does the 0.8mm holes work? Within the 8mm allotted, is it 3mm, then 2mm, then hole, then 2 mm, then 3mm? That adds up 11.6mm within the allotted 8mm for the LED which doesn't make sense.
I know this video is 7 years old but I had theorized decades ago on the matrix we exist in during a theory of everything debate way back when AOL chatrooms were a thing and this cube is a perfect example , if you shrink down the LEDs to plank size and the colors covered the entire spectrum of colors in a prism as each pls k sized LED changed colors but done so the neighboring led is what effects the change then you are visually looking at a representation of the fabric we exist in and as the colors change it is also how time becomes a part of all existence when one considers the changes in each color a transcendence of temperature. Also if you eliminate the wires and can make the plank sized LEDs float the gaps between each light is the paths which strings as in string theory traverse through the entirety of space as well as provide the basis from which formulas for black holes quasars stars gravity and so on are created .
can I make the distance between the leds smaller? I only see cubes with that big gaps between the leds. In my opinion it whould look better if I make a cube 5 by5 cm or 7.5by7.5cm with 5 leds in each row.
good, trying to do it. what is the distance betwin the + and - line of the leds, 2mm or 8mm, in the base SVG is 2mm, but in video , on paper is 8mm. thanks
can you please help me i love led and i have a project to do it on my motorcycle how can i get in contact with you and another thing i'm kinda confused dont u need a resistor for every led connected or i can just connect dataoutput to data input and all of them to one resistor? i was think it should be a parallel circuit but the one in the video i believe is series circuit
die Anleitung jetzt noch in deutsch und ich wäre glücklich. So wie sich dein englisch anhört, ist es nicht deine Muttersprache. Werde trotzdem mal probieren, das nachzubauen.
I'm 75 year old and new to electronics. Please forgive my ignorance but, where can I get the code and more detailed instructions for the 5x5x5 cube. By the way; your videos are excellent!
+Zerfallsgesetz you don t need to, acryl is so soft that you can cut it by hand! pro tipp: wear some kind of gloves and have a vacuum cleaner on hand, or your hands and surroundings will get messy :) (gloves only if not cut by hand)
Hello GreatScott! I was seeing this video and i saw your breadboard jumpers. And i was wondering. What are they called? i bought some Dupont ones but the plastic part is rectangular and they break easy. The metal contact pin is metal sheet bent to form a pin. I think your are whole pins. What are they called? Thank you.
Great Scott please I need an answer, can this LED cube programed like one of your introductions the violet by letters? or can I put my name by changing up the code?
Would anyone want to make me one and ship it to me if I paid you and covered the shipping costs?? This looks so cool but I'm not too sure I'll be able to do this as well as Scott haha
Hello Greatscott , i'm waiting the second part of your vidéo with impatience.Is it possible to have the Arduino code and the diagram of connection to the Nano.Thank you very much.A fan of you from Belgium.
THIS NOT SIMPLE AT ALL U NEED SO MANY THINGS AND ARE VERY EXPENSIVE IT MIGHT BE SIMPLE TO U BUT NOT QUITE A BIT OF UR AUDIENCE , if u CAN MAKE THIS PROJECT GOOD FOR U BUT DO ME A FAVOUR AND DONT HATE ON THIS COMMENT
Is it worth to build the cube out of diffused rgb leds or does it look as good with clear rgb leds? Clear ones are much cheaper and i dont want to make them all diffused by hand lol. But diffused rgb leds are way to expensive.
Hello Scott, In the tutorial photos, I see a component like a blue resistor soldered to the LED wiring, that is not in the list of components, what is it, is it necessary? Thank you!
lol I love how you speak I put these wirez in the holez and afterwardz.... But don't get me wrong, you speak english really good, better than me for sure, and I love your videos.
Hey Scott! Could you look up on the magnet motor engine? To let's say, power up leds? You said you love them, it would be awesome to see if magnets can power up something that you usually build in videos. I dont know if this actually works, but would be nice to try that :) Greetings
Hi, I really like the simplicity of this build, but I'd like to go bigger, 8x8x8, would this be possible with the same components? I figure I might need a different resistor and probably a more powerful power supply but other than that I would expect this set-up to just scale up?
Which blue tool can be seen in the timeframe 5:58 - 6:07? This looks very usefull. Would be happy if you could share a link here or at least the name from it :)
Thanks for this tutorial it made making my 1x1x1 led cube a piece of cake.
that's the point. ;D
we all know that the cake is a lie.

I hope you make a video on it one day! haha
FINALLY smart LEDs : D i use these for my bike since last year, was thinking when you make a video about them
I think this is a DIY project much nicer than those i've seen around...
Great job Scott!

Is it possible to build a 8x8x8 Rgb led cube in the same way?
Can i also use cardboard for this?
Where do I get the diodes? The links in the description are sold out. I don't know what to search for

hey i am new to the maker community ,
if i use an Arduino UNO instead of nano what do i have to alter ??

Could you use any RGB LED's or would that not work?
No, would not work with this circuit
how to make our own ardriuno

You are awesome with electronics, but your box building skills are ...... lets say ....... rough ;)
A case as a base!
Wait....
No likes for my comment.

Big pain in ass 😂
YOU HAVE THE BEST ELECTRONICS VIDEOS ON RUclips!!!!! U R AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now do a 16³ cube.
I'm doing one
+TheTrueM3ga Hah, that would be over 4000 LEDs! Would be a cool project tho, so much power
Sigge Stjärnholm it's bad for the back. leaning over leds 24/7 hurts.
I'm doing a 10 x 10 x 10 one , 1000 LEDs is enough for one project for me :)
+Utkarsh Amitabh Srivastava I'd say you might have some trouble to find someone selling the 4 million LED needed.
I rather like an odd numbered cube myself, solely for the purpose of a geometric center point

@GreatScott! I love these basic videos, since I'm a programmer and I don't know much about electronics.....
I've a question: are those LEDs like the Neopixels? (You talked about daisy chaining the data out with the data in...)
My guess is that the Netopixels will keep the value they receive, and these ones need to be refreshed as fast as possible.... right?
What are the diferences? (I'm asking because Neopixels are super exepensive... www.adafruit.com/category/168)
I want to do something like this: ruclips.net/video/DTb0k_P1wlY/видео.html
(Be able to control each pixel in the table...)
+Rodrigo Graça They are basically just like Neopixels, aka WS2812B.
If the LEDs weren't so expensive, i would build this kind of cube... :(
TJemxx expensive? 8 dollar for 100 from amazon
now it's 8 dollars for 10
1000 for 5euros on alieexpress, work fine with the good resistor
@Andrei Radu can i use common anode or cathode rgb leds instead of these expensive one??
@Andrei Radu u mean, with ics...
I like very much your channel and watched the majority of your videos, but please, stop with this two parts 5-8 minutes videos! I know it's very time consuming, but waiting a week for another 5 minutes is too much.

Do Code and circuit connection works fine with Arduino UNO Chinese Clone which has interface CH340G instead of ATmega328p ??
Great job. is it possible to design a 3D, RGB-LED with a dimension of 10*10*4 layer? using the same simple tools.
at 3:08 , how does that space fit in a 8 mm hole for your schematic? On the right hand side, how does the 0.8mm holes work? Within the 8mm allotted, is it 3mm, then 2mm, then hole, then 2 mm, then 3mm? That adds up 11.6mm within the allotted 8mm for the LED which doesn't make sense.

These do look awesome, it would fry my brain trying to figure it all out though lol.
can I make the distance between the leds smaller?
I only see cubes with that big gaps between the leds.
In my opinion it whould look better if I make a cube 5 by5 cm or 7.5by7.5cm with 5 leds in each row.
i wanted to make a simple 5x5x5 led cube on arduino UNO but I can't get the perfect diagram anywhere, please help me through
how about a bluetooth soundcard next? battery driven, so you can hook up mic and headphones via 3,5mm jacks and move around freely
good, trying to do it. what is the distance betwin the + and - line of the leds, 2mm or 8mm, in the base SVG is 2mm, but in video , on paper is 8mm. thanks
I love your videos Scott... but sometimes You produce so much plastic waste (milling acrilic glass made a lot of plastic dust) :(
Hi, hope you can make smaller one, so someone like me with 0% skills in electronic can build it, will be waiting for it 👍👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Bist du Deutscher? Du hörst dich zumindest so an.
ich liebe sein englisch😂
+Nick Thomi Ich frage mich, wo man so ein Englisch lernt.
+Nice "in" der Schule ;)
ich bin kartoffel?
ich bin da
it will be better if you paint all the connections of leds with black paint to get perfect view.
I want to controll animation trough wifi or bluetooth. Is it enough to use in this project different model of arduino with wifi/bluetooth module?
Love your videos!They're awesome!Really inspiring!!
can you please help me i love led and i have a project to do it on my motorcycle how can i get in contact with you
and another thing i'm kinda confused dont u need a resistor for every led connected or i can just connect dataoutput to data input and all of them to one resistor?
i was think it should be a parallel circuit but the one in the video i believe is series circuit
just ordered the parts, but im gonna try to use an esp8266 instead and make it web controllable
man I am building this cube. can you please do a small video on how to write code for this cube with these type of leds.
can you please give me some written program for a 4x4x4 led cube with cathode as columns
Haw to make 8x8x8 rgb led cube which circut only consist of arduino nano.
Hello sir can I use simple led because this kind of LEDs are not available in my country
I accidentally bought 200 PL9823.... In the wrong size..
I want also build a led cube, but not with rgb led's. I think it's to difficult :-)
I can tell you love LEDs by the profile picture on your account
Oh, and also your intros too
I only know the 2 pin leds 1 anode and 1 catode, whats the difference with this 4 pin
leds?
hello! i want to try this at home but i cant finde these leds on ebay, do you know other website where i can find them?
die Anleitung jetzt noch in deutsch und ich wäre glücklich. So wie sich dein englisch anhört, ist es nicht deine Muttersprache. Werde trotzdem mal probieren, das nachzubauen.
Can you provide the code that displays alphabets or numbers.?
I like your videos sir plz send some video to learn about microcontrollers and arduino microcontroller
Very awesome man I'm thinking of getting some of these programmable LED. What do you think about them compare to the ws2812 LED?
+joseph chrzempiec (josephchrzempiec) Pretty much the same. Even the same timing.
Does anyone now if there is an difference between the PL9823 and the P9823 ?
Mohnecke There's a L
Thor Kokonue lol
Nope
Gibt es 2 Polige RGB LED's?
Kann man die dann auch ansteuern oder leuchten die einfach in die Farbe die sie wollen?
For the led tester what is your code? We want to test our LEDs but are a little lost on the code.
I'm 75 year old and new to electronics. Please forgive my ignorance but, where can I get the code and more detailed instructions for the 5x5x5 cube. By the way; your videos are excellent!

built a led cube which does not use any arduino just micro controllors
Hello GreatScott! I was seeing this video and i saw your breadboard jumpers. And i was wondering. What are they called? i bought some Dupont ones but the plastic part is rectangular and they break easy. The metal contact pin is metal sheet bent to form a pin. I think your are whole pins. What are they called?
Thank you.
Great Scott please I need an answer, can this LED cube programed like one of your introductions the violet by letters? or can I put my name by changing up the code?
If i want to make this project with single color LED, what changes i have to make to the whole circuit? suggestion would be much helpful. :)
Where can I get files for cube animation examples?
Would anyone want to make me one and ship it to me if I paid you and covered the shipping costs?? This looks so cool but I'm not too sure I'll be able to do this as well as Scott haha
Constructed how much would u charge? I'm very serious about this lol

hi scott! where i can get the driver for arduino nano v3.0 "FTDI 1222 - C / G0020401 FT 232 RL
led type was used above have to be led or not so ortak, please
Is it worth to build the cube out of diffused rgb leds or does it look as good with clear rgb leds?
Clear ones are much cheaper and i dont want to make them all diffused by hand lol. But diffused rgb leds are way to expensive.
Hello Scott, In the tutorial photos, I see a component like a blue resistor soldered to the LED wiring, that is not in the list of components, what is it, is it necessary? Thank you!
If you had a 3d printer you could make the case a lot easier
lol I love how you speak
I put these wirez in the holez and afterwardz....
But don't get me wrong, you speak english really good, better than me for sure, and I love your videos.
Hey Scott! Could you look up on the magnet motor engine? To let's say, power up leds? You said you love them, it would be awesome to see if magnets can power up something that you usually build in videos. I dont know if this actually works, but would be nice to try that :) Greetings
It has to be exactly that model for the RGB LED?
Hi, I really like the simplicity of this build, but I'd like to go bigger, 8x8x8, would this be possible with the same components? I figure I might need a different resistor and probably a more powerful power supply but other than that I would expect this set-up to just scale up?
Which blue tool can be seen in the timeframe 5:58 - 6:07? This looks very usefull. Would be happy if you could share a link here or at least the name from it :)
side 1 and side 2 are smaller than the front and the back peace ??
Can someone explain me how he does the Part with the ics? I mean the nano have 14 pins and i would do this with AND gates? Pls help :c
I'm a new subscriber, and your channel is fast becoming one where I really look forward to new videos. I really like your vlog style. Cheers!
di you have a vid on how to make an 6x6x6 led cube?
Great tutorial, Although those leds are kinda expensive at $50 alone. Can you make some tutorials for cheap yet cool projects?
What is the name of the white material you use to make this books?
woah woah woah. These are addresable led's? that explains everything why my project isn't working x.x
Could you please share a link where you bought the acrylic glass?and how much does it costs?
pls tell me how can i support u more......how do i donate moneeey....u are the GREAT GREAT SCOT
