Introduction: LED Cube 3x3x3 With Music Beat Detection - PIC16F84

LED cubes are great on their own however I decided to spice it up this one with music beat synchronization. This is a 3x3x3 LED cube powered by a PIC 16F84A running at 4MHz.

The actual beat detection is done in hardware by an onboard amplifier and a microphone. On each music beat the microcontroller randomly selects a LED animation pattern which is shown on the 3x3x3 LED grid.

The LED cube is completely autonomous, just place it near an audio source and it will start to glow in sync with the music! :-)

Here it is in action:
