Third time’s a charm – 512 LED cube kicks it up a notch with RGB LEDs. Vespine.com. March 20, 2011.
Over the course of roughly 2 years starting May 2009 I built a 8x8x8 RGB LED cube. You can see the quick specifications in the info box to the right. You can see all the posts I made during the build of this cube if you click the below link: The LED Artist. LED Cube 8x8x8. A wireframe box is a good geometric shape to show in a monochrome 8x8x8 LED cube.
It gives a very nice 3d effect. We made two box animation functions for the LED cube. Effect_box_shrink_grow() draws a wireframe box filling the entire cube, then shrinks it down to one voxel in one of 8 corners.
