LED Cube 1.0

Led Cube Simulator

This is the easiest way to get started with the Led Cube Teaching materials! Simply install the software for your operating system and check out the examples. Instructors can directly program the simulator from within the software using the built-in Python terminal to explore how the cube works with students.

Features

• Developed with OpenGL Core 4.x and SFML
• Built-in python terminal emulator with history and tab-completion
• UDP server on port 8080 for updating the simulator (see examples folder for details)
• Seamlessly switch between the simulator and a physical cube
• Examples provided in C++, Python, and MATLAB
• Installers provided for Windows (LED_Cube_Simulator.exe) and Mac OS X (LED_Cube_Simulator.dmg)

Led Cube w/ Raspberry Pi

Use this pre-built software to control your own physical Led Cube! See the Wiki for detailed instructions on how to use the installation script: led_cube_pi_installer

Features

• Six 64by64 RGB led panels for displaying almost anything (images, animations, physics simulations, dice emulator, etc..)
• Uses the Raspberry Pi 3 and custom Pi hat as the controller to interface with HUB75 connectors
• Implements Binary Code Modulation to display realistic colors
• System is powered by a 5V 20 Amp power supply or four Ni-MH D cell batteries for portability
• Develop new animations/displays directly on Pi in C++ or control panels over UDP using your favorite language
