New Guide! RGB LED Matrix Cube with 25,000 LEDs

Build a six-panel RGB matrix cube with Raspberry Pi and Adafruit RGB Matrix Bonnet. 3D print parts to build an epic physics toy and run Conway’s game of life, animated globes and a 3D motion pixel sand demo.

One can never have too many LEDs…but we won’t let that stop us from trying. This project brings together nearly 25,000 full-color LEDs in a mesmerizing, self-contained interactive cube, with the small-and-mighty Raspberry Pi 4 — the Altoids of computers — running the show. Possibly the most ostentatious project we’ve attempted!

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!

The Adafruit Learning System has dozens of great tools to get you well on your way to creating incredible works of engineering, interactive art, and design with your 3D printer! If you’ve made a cool project that combines 3D printing and electronics, be sure to let us know, and we’ll feature it here!






Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!
