hypercube

Inspiration

so we wanted to do something with low level with HW. I had some rgb dirvers and we decided to do a 3d led matrix cube that can play snake in 3d

What it does

the cube summons a snake for the player to move. the player controls the snake by tilting and revolving the cube.

How I built it

it was built with red led's one line at a time, one layer at a time. it was soldered together and isolated with shrink wrap to prevent shorting. the SW was developed in C on a raspberry pi. using an accelerometer to control the snake.

Challenges I ran into

the original driver i used had lots of hardware bugs that caused us to choose an alternative.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

cube was made, and alternative looks promising

What I learned

i can live without sleep, also learning about what a hackaton was about, and programming in various systems.

What's next for led matrix, 3d snake

make it bigger denser, and more colorful

Built With

• c
• leds
• raspberry-pi
