This code is still a work in progress and needs refining. Furthermore, I will add a seperate header file for the functions to occupy. Still a work in progress.
The boards that this code supports the Arduino Uno, Arduino Nano, Arduino Mega, and the ATtiny84-20PU.
| Board Type | Row Assignment | Column Assignment |
|---|---|---|
| Uno | A1, A2, A3 |
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 |
| Nano | A1, A2, A3 |
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 |
| Mega | A1, A2, A3 |
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 |
| ATtiny84 | A0, A1, A2 |
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 |
Important for ATtiny users: Note that for the ATtiny, a shift bit register will be needed. We used the SN74HC595D for this.
The code initiates by assigning the pins in terms of a static constant which make it so that it can be defined using a loop. Columns are the vertical LEDs with rows being the layers of the cube.
The code includes the following functions:
- Trail
- Expanding Cube
- Moving Layers
- Rain Drops
- Cross followed by vertical box
- Vertical Spiral
- Pulsating Octahedron
- Perimeter Cube
- Diagonal moving dot
- Flashing
- Randomly appearing dot
- Growing tree
- Triple Cartesian planes
