This completes the actual Cube part of the 8x8x8 LED Cube. After soldering all the 8 layers with the Anode Poles, solder wires to the Anode poles. The 64 Anode poles must protrude out of the Sunboard at the bottom in order solder wires for connection. Start soldering layer by layer and use any object like a ruler or even a piece of Sunboard (of width roughly 2.5CM) to separate the layers.įinished structure after stacking all the eight layers, will look something like this. Take a Sunboard and mark 64 holes to insert poles for 64 Anode Terminals. Once everything is done, put aside the completed layer and continue making seven other layers.Īfter completing eight layers, we will now proceed with stacking those layers vertically. Now, test the LEDs once again as replacing a faulty LED will be somewhat easy at this stage.

In addition to acting as support bars, these wires will also short all the cathodes of that particular layer. In order to increase the strength of the layer, solder few connecting wires between LEDs. Place the LEDs and start soldering all the cathodes together. In order to build the layers, take a Sunboard and make holes at a distance of 2.5CM. Each layer is made up of 8×8 LED Matrix consisting of 64 LEDs. This step is very important because once you begin soldering the LEDs, it will be difficult to remove them. You can use a 3V Lithium Cell to test the individual LED. The first step is to test all the 512 LEDs.

Testing the LEDsĪs I’ve already mentioned earlier, we need 512 LEDs. I’ve tried to include as many steps as possible without you getting bored.
