Samartist 25 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 This is my 4x4x4 led cube project, done with MSP430, using only 3 pins of MSP, the circuit diagram is shown in the photos, the hardware consists of 3 shift registers, 74595, and 4 NPN transistors... you can learn how to make a 4x4x4 LED cube by instructables or youtube or some other sites, its easy to make...but make sure that you make exact same connections as shown in the cicuit diagrams... or else this code won't work in the new hardware... the hardware can be built as shown in the circuit diagram...the code is given below, you can changes it and make your own animation with it.... main.c this is what i have done with the cube... yosh, tripwire, Trigger and 8 others 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chibiace 46 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 very tidy man, love it. Samartist 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
username 198 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Neat little project! Thanks for sharing Samartist 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Samartist 25 Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 thanks dudes.... i think i m gonna make a tidy 8x8x8 cube using only 5 ics [excluding the msp] or an LED matrix... but i have got my exams now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rebeltaz 36 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Very nice indeed... I know what I want to build next! :-) Samartist 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Samartist 25 Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 rebeltaz if you are familier with the circuitry, than dont make a mistake that i made... the connections of the LEDS in a floor are like :- look at the sequence carefully....[its bit number is on the place of leds, (after '08', '09' is the 1st bit of the 2nd shift register)] 01 02 03 04 08 07 06 05 09 10 11 12 16 15 14 13 you must build a design with connections like this :- 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 although my code will not work on this hardware, but if you can develop a code [it will not be hard to modify mine] to use this sequence then you will have more flexitbity on the code as you could use the leds as they are on 3d, XYZ-axis... i hope you enjoy well as i did Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Haribo 0 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Hi ! I have some questions about 4x4x4 LED cube with msp430 ! What's your msp 430 model?? I want to make the same LED cube but mine is msp430 g2553. Is the same one? If it's a different model then what should i have to do ? I want to make a same LED cube with my lunchpad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roadrunner84 466 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 @@Haribo : As you can see in his start post, the cube is connected to a Launchpad. The chip in the socket is a 20-pin type. Since the demands on the controller are few (you need three pins for shift register driving) it would almost certainly possible to run the code on a g2553. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
