The Rainbow Cube is a nerdy but gorgeous accent light consisting of a 4ร4ร4 cube of red-green-blue LEDs. Depending on how itโs programmed, colors appear to move, pulse, or wash through the cube in all directions, which is fascinating to watch. The LEDs connect to the PCB base via an ingenious structure consisting of thin PCB supports. I only had a little bit of experience soldering before I made this kit, but I was able to successfully solder it in two hours.
The cube comes preprogrammed with a simple gradient, but there are a lot of fun, full-motion programs online, and of course you can write your own. To make the cube work, youโll also need a Rainbowduino LED driver board ($20), which attaches to the cube to controlย the colors.
