** Actually, I just forgot to**
Actually, I just forgot to buy the sockets and wanted to start on Christmas. If this one ever fries, then I’ll get the sockets. And I like to keep my old projects as a way of saying “yeah, i made that” and “look how far I’ve come”.
Oh, and I also forgot to mention: I would love for my fellow LMRtians to suggest some cool patterns for the 4x4x4 cube.
Looking forward to see your
Looking forward to see your LED cube working. I have made one using Arduino and for a FEZ Panda running NETMF http://www.microframeworkprojects.com/index.php?title=LED_cube but never tried a PICAXE.
But is this project really a ‘Robot – work in progress’ ? It probably should be posted under ‘Something Else’ .
And it might be a bit early to ask for cool patterns before you have the cube working. As far as I can tell your only testing the LEDs manually on the video.
PS. I would also recommend that you start using a breadboard on your projects and get the system to work there before you solder anything at all. And never solder any chip directly on the board if you can avoid it.
** I’ve done all the math and**
I’ve done all the math and used the system that I used before. So it should work with no problems.
Can you tell us more about

I was waiting until I was done to tell everyone on a post but the IRIS System is composed of A couple of septate systems:
this is an EXTREMELY long term goal that will slowly mature in the order that they are listed.
and thank you for that link, very helpful.
If your LED lights up from
If your LED lights up from the soldering iron I would consider buying a new one. To me it sound like some current is leaking out to the metal of your soldering iron and the wall plug didn’t look like a grounded plug. The LED might act as a part of a rectifier bridge and what your seeing is actually PWM at the frequency of your AC supply.

Thanks, is it in any way dangerous or can it eventually become dangerous to me?
I’m really not sure. You
I’m really not sure. You might put a post up on the forum as that is the proper place for this question.
If the voltage/current is not enough to give you a shock, you might end up frying some component while soldering them.

I still don’t know what flame monitoring has to do with anything, though…

Of course not! I can’t believe this! Well, at least my logo has color!
Hi An-Tech
How is your LED cube coming along? Have you got it working yet?
We are waiting for a video
** well, school has taken**
well, school has taken over my life at the moment, but don’t worry, I’m trying my best to finish it.
1. I understand perfectly,
1. I understand perfectly, but I had a 40x1 on hand and didn’t want to complicate an already fine system.
2. Sounds like a good idea, but again, I already have a working system
Thanks!

An area where I could use some help is a music tempo sensor…
and how do you PWM an LED?
