I wanted to make something artistic and dynamic using an 8×8 matrix of RGB LED’s, that I recently discovered.
I used a cheap RP2040 MCU module, programmed in Python to produce the random patterns. I just played around with numbers and algorithms until I liked the look of them. It seems that people all have very differing favorites and some that I didn’t like, others love. So to that end, I created 4 different algorithms which create distinctive patterns over time. I didn’t want to use any switches so an accelerometer determines the orientation of the cube which sets the mode. The unit resets itself when put on its back.
The Cuboid was used to make some colourful videos and also inspired the Glyph Generator project.
