I designed the PCB in a program called [[http://www.cadsoft.de/|Eagle]]. This software is really good for designing PCBs and schematics but unfortunately the free version has a limit on the maximum size of the PCB you can design. So in the end I actually made the board on a ''PCB Prototyping Board'' Actually [[http://www.okaphone.com/artikelen.asp?id=977&groep=604|this one]]. | I designed the PCB in a program called [[http://www.cadsoft.de/|Eagle]].

+ | |||
+ | The construction of the LED cube is a very tedious and time consuming part, and also the most visible part. So take your time and measure twice, cut once... | ||

+ | ===== The Software ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The software is still a work in progress, as it should be. Because there are always more effects and animations to create if you have the power over 512 LEDs on your fingertips... | ||
