Audio Visual LED Cube Matthew Daigle Robert Hunter Kendra Kreider Advisor: Richard Messner
Overview Problem Definition Design Objectives Block Diagram Design Testing & Programming Goals Budget Project Timeline
Problem Definition 3-D cube of LEDs Audio/visual effects in real time Completed within budget Presented at URC in April
Design Objectives • Build cube of LEDs • 8x8x8 single color LEDs or • 5x5x5 RGB LEDs • Program LEDs • To light up in different patterns • To change in sync with music playing • Control with computer
Design Goal: 8x8x8 single color LED or 5x5x5 RGB LED • Start with 3x3x3 single color LED cube • Experimentation • Learn how to use Arduino microcontroller • Work on light and music programming • Mimic expected design for second cube to become familiar with final circuit on a smaller scale
Enabling LEDs Design does not allow for LEDs in separate columns to light simultaneously Flash LEDs faster that human eye can detect (persistence of vision)
Building • Solder Cube • Check solder points before adding next layer • Construct LED driver circuitry • Wooden base • LED Casing
Testing & Programming • Major part of project • Testing- results will not be qualitative • Programming • Get acquainted with Arduino software • Lighting- patterns • Music- spectrum analysis
Goals • Size 3 single color cube • Size 8 single color or size 5 RGB cube • Effective light and music synchronization • Programming development has no definitive end • Dependent on time and knowledge of Arduino software
