The LED matrix we decided to use is a 4 x 4 x 4 monochromatic LED Matrix. This is a total of 64 LEDs. The reason we chose this size, is that it provides the best of overall cube size, construction time easier programming. The advantage to using mono-chromatic LEDs allows us to use bright LEDs. Bright LEDs in our LED cube are viewable in a well lighted room. Mono-chromatic LEDs from well known manufacturer are cheap and affordable, usage of mono-chromatic LEDs allows easier construction and programming of Cube. While the obvious disadvantage of not using RGB LEDs is that the Cube is only limited to one color. The current crop of RGB LEDs dont have the light intensity punch and when used in a 3D LED cube must be viewed in a dark room. If you look at an RGB 3D cube in a well lighted room chances are you cant even tell that its on. In addition affordable RGB LEDs are four times costlier than the mono-chromatic ones, the usage of RGB LEDs would increase the difficulty level of construction and programming. With monochromatic LEDs you have the choice of four mono-chromatic colors blue, red, green and yellow. The kit is supplied with a preprogrammed microcontroller, that includes 29 pre-programmed patterns that automatically play. Playtime for the 29 patterns is approximately 6-1/2 minutes. However instructions to program the 3D Matrix yourself are provided towards the end of this manual. LED Cube Construction: Step by Step Guide To build an accurate 3D LED Cube Matri
