Pico Cube

PiCube is a 4x4x4 LED cube HAT for Raspberry Pi with 5V DC operating voltage. PiCube, a 64 monochromatic (Red, Blue, Green) LED device, is a fun way to learn programming. It is designed to perform incandescent operations with low energy consumptions, robust outlook, and easy installation that make people/kids/users learn the effects of LED lights with a different pattern of colours via the combination of software and hardware i.e. Raspberry Pi.

Installation

Python

Stack PiCube on Raspberry Pi 40 Pin GPIO header.
Open Git Bash Terminal and clone/download the repository by typing the below command in the terminal:

git clone https://github.com/sbcshop/PiCube.git

Your code will be downloaded to the '/home/pi' directory. Use the 'ls' command to check the list of directories and the 'cd' command to enter the directory.

cd PiCube

'demo.py' is an example code for PiCube. Run test file and play with PiCube by running below python command.

python3 demo.py

It will run a different LED pattern on PiCube. You can also modify this code to put your own creativity.
