Some videos uploaded here and here of my cubes using this library. I'll hope anyone find use in it or enjoy reading my topic! If anyone got questions, just post them either on the arduino forum or in this topic.ĭownload 5x5x5 LED cube schematics and library. It works by creating a memory array for the 20x16 pixel bitmap that the functions work within. In-depth example sketches are included with library download. Works with LCD connection methods including: 4bit, shift register (2 or 3 wire), and I2C. You can see the topic HERE, or copy paste this link. Works with both the standard Liquid Crystal library as well as Francisco's New Liquid Crystal library. Includes library with fade and backlight functions. Creating animations using a shift register is also explained.
The chapter also explains the features of shift registers, ways of sending parallel and serial data, and the differences between serial and parallel data transmission. I posted the original topic on the Arduino forum, this topic contains all the information needed to use this library and even got a detailed description of how the library is working. Control a 16x2 LCD, including contrast and backlight in code, using a shift register. It uses the Arduino Uno (or the equivalent Adafruit METRO 328) as a development platform.
With this library you simply build the cube according to the hardware configuration, setup the library and your good to go to write your own animations based on a Z,X,Y grid.
7-Segment display with 74HC595 shift register code: The Arduino code below doesn’t use any library for the 7-segment display. It is based on the default LiquidCrystal library, and is almost. This provides a very cost effective way of reducing the number of pins needed to control an LCD (from 6 to 3 pins in 4 bit mode).
This library is intended to simplify the programming knowledge needed to make animation for a LED cube that is driven by shift registers. The push button which is connected to Arduino analog pin 0 (A0) is used to increment the displayed number. This library allows an Arduino board to control most LCDs (Hitachi HD44780 based or compatible) through a 74HC595 shift register. Two weeks ago I released my first version of my universal shift register driven 4x4x4 to 8x8x8 (single color) LED cube library.
