ABSTRACT: The 3D LED Cube (8×8×8 Matrix) project is a sophisticated embedded system-based visual display designed for dynamic and interactive lighting effects. Comprising 512 LEDs, the cube is controlled by a microcontroller system using multiplexing techniques, reducing the number of required microcontroller pins while enabling smooth animations. This 3D display provides depth perception, offering a more immersive experience compared to traditional 2D LED matrices. The system operates with a layer-by-layer scanning mechanism that creates a persistence of vision (PoV) effect, making the LEDs appear continuously lit. Transistor arrays manage current distribution, ensuring stable operation and preventing excessive load on the microcontroller. Pulse width modulation (PWM) is used to control LED brightness, offering energy-efficient power consumption and smooth intensity transitions. An infrared (IR) remote allows users to switch between pre-programmed animations, adjust brightness, and interact wirelessly. This design is compact, scalable, and customizable, making it ideal for embedded system education, artistic displays, and interactive lighting applications. The project highlights the potential of embedded electronics in creating modern, energy-efficient visualization systems.
