It Requires >>>>> No <<<<< Programming , yes...... at last a simple yet effective led cube.
It is powered via USB and can fill up the room with a morphing aurora of colour.

It is just a cube structure soldered together with automatic colour changing LEDs .

Where can I buy the "programmed" LED? Any supplier in Europe? or worldwide shipping from USA?

Thanks

can someone like me who knows zero about electronics/programming/LED make this amazing instructables? honest question.

For an honest question, I give you a honest answer, YES. Just see my how to build page. the only skills needed are soldering skills and possibly wire/ metal work .

HAHAH <3 i was just going to ask the same thing! this thing is beautiful! i was going to ask..."say that someone doesn't follow directions...is this something that could be possible?" haha, most of this LED stuff looks like gibberish but i love everything that lights up!

I have made a STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTABLE follow the link above !

that's really cool, most likely if you shoved 2000 mA into it you'd either burn it out or the brightness would increase, or both! but i agree with H4T this needs an actual instructable dealing with how you actually built it!

Im making one now

Looks really sweet, but where's the Instructable? :( I'd really like to find out more about how you created the animations without programming - do you have schematics for an analog circuit? And how did you power it using only USB? I thought USB could only give about 500mA of current, and each of those LEDs look pretty bright, so it must be drawing a bit more than that!

Thanks, there are no animations all leds change on there own. They are automatic colour changing leds see link above. After a few minutes of operation the all end up out of time. That is what gives it the random pattern, because it is random.

The leds are all in parallel. It should draw 2000mA but it still works via usb at only 500mA. The orange track on the jig shown in the video is to show you the direction the bend the led pins. So following the spiral pattern is a 5V rail and a 0V rail mad up of the led legs them selfs all soldered together
