Three-Dimensional Light Source
Programmable LED matrix with 125 LEDs
Published in issue 385, January 2009
Here we present a 3D display of LEDs, each of which can be controlled individually. This magnificent cube has at its heart an Atmel AVR microcontroller. These controllers are easy to obtain and superb open-source tools are available. Not only for Windows, but also for the Linux and Mac operating systems.
Hardware specifications - 125 LEDs in a special 3D matrix - ATMEGA32 microcontroller running @ 1 MHz internal clock - 10-way ISP-connector for reprogramming - 5 transistors for switching the layers - 25 transistors for switching the columns
