Pin Number Layer
40 Layer 1 (Top)
38 Layer 2
36 Layer 3
32 Layer 4 (Bottom)

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.
