The Elovalo project, as it is called, is a trio of LED cubes – one using red LEDs, one using green LED, and a blue LED cube each mounted on a pedestal in a Jyväskylä park.īecause the Elovalo is a permanent installation, the team needed a way to verify new firmware for the LED cubes. The LED cube is similar to all the other LED cube builds we’ve seen before it’s an 8x8x8 cube controlled by an ATMega328.
As such a high-profile project, the hacklab-jlk team decided to take their time and ended up implementing a lot of very cool features for their LED cubes, including simulating the light show in Blender.

They had the opportunity to design, build, and install a trio of LED cubes in Jyväskylä’s central Church Park. The Jyväskylä, Finland hackerspace hacklab-jlk was lucky enough to work on a public arts project for their home town. Because no LED cube build is complete with out a video there’s an awesome demo after the break. In the end, built the best LED cube we’ve seen (even though it isn’t the largest) and put together one of the best build logs in recent memory. After hooking up his huge LED driver board up to a chipKIT Uno, the 80 hours of programming began. Most of the LED cubes we’ve seen use the TLC5940 LED driver for hardware PWM, decided to go with the simpler but more familiar STP16 chip. The only thing missing was the electronics. After the construction of a jig, soldering eight panels of 64 LEDs, and buying a new soldering iron tip, had a beautiful assembled LED cube. Instead of building his monster LED cube in layers from the bottom up, he would need to build columns from left to right. The baby cube worked but the fabrication process got him thinking. To start his build, built a simple 4x4x4 cube as a proof of concept. His 8x8x8 RGB LED cube is the best we’ve ever seen. He calls LED cubes ‘done to death,’ but might be too humble. Wrote in telling us about the LED cube he built over the course of six months.
