When one conducts a search on the phrase “LED Cube”, one will be able to find many results with different variations on how to build one. The LED Cube has been around for quite some time, being one of the least expensive project (depending on the dimension). The most basic form of a LED Cube will display fanciful and colorful animations, while some electronic hobbyists would create a much complex cube, such as building the cube with a much larger dimension, or even allowing user-input interaction with the LED Cube. In this final year project, the author will explore on how to build an interactive LED Cube. This includes the usage of an Android phone that allows user to send characters to the LED Cube, which will then display the received message similar to a dot matrix panels with 4 viewing angles. Therefore, other than learning how to build the LED Cube, the author is also required to pick up Android programing (Java), mainly focusing on creating text inputs and Bluetooth communication.
