My first AVR project was building an LED Cube, I began with a small 4x4x4 cube in the hopes of creating an 8x8x8 in the future. This was before I had created this blog but I have still attempted to document the process here.
4x4x4 LED Cube

Here are the posts I have made so far about this cube:

After successfully programming the chip and testing the cube connected using a breadboard, I connected the electronics using Perfboard to make for a better display.

The remainder of the parts only took a few days to arrive so I could get started on the main electronics involved in the build. I chose to test the circuit on a breadboard before soldering the more permanent solution onto Veroboard.

While waiting for the main electronics to arrive, I got started on building the LED cube matrix.
