 The ''​driverboard''​ is the PCB which connects the Arduino to the LED cube.  The ''​driverboard''​ is the PCB which connects the Arduino to the LED cube. 
 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]].

-These are the principles used in creating the LED cube, the details ​will follow...+===== 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...
