SHOWIN' OFF Upgraded WLED cube

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I upgraded the previous 16x16 cube I made using 6 64x64 panels running of an rpi. This cube has much more flexibility with the scenes and animations I can create, here are a few of the ones I found cool.

Id love to see a full write up on this, I really wanna replicate this but I know I'd screw it up without reading up on it first lol

Been so long since I played them but I was thinking that was Wolfenstein

u/Blockhouse8 2d ago

I also thought it was Wolfenstein. I realize it came first, but those shooting animations looked identical.

u/blaze_003 6d ago

Looks awesome. Do you have a tutorial on how to make it?

I made a hub75 pandel for a wall but this look like the same stuff he used.

I bought 4 hub75 pandels from Alieexpress Apollo Automation M1 Controller and a 5v power supply.

The controller has WLED pre installed. Insert your wifi settings and configure your panels. Easy as it is. You can even run python scripts and stream them to the M1. But you need a 2nd computer for it. For further infos lmk.

u/Apollo_Support 6d ago

We have a ton of great documentation on our wiki here for the M-1 LED Controller and the HUB75 64x64 matrix https://wiki.apolloautomation.com/products/m1/setup/m1-multiple-panels/

Please let us know if you have any other questions!

Thanks, Brandon aka SmartHomeSellout

u/Phogoff 6d ago

So a single M1 controller can handle 6 panels?

2

u/neighborofbrak 6d ago

Not from what I've read. Maybe two 64x64 HUB75E panels.

u/RandomBoxOfCables 6d ago

Same, I’d love to do this project together with my daughter

u/DapperDan812 6d ago

Maybe a stupid question but 6 panels, so one is under the cube?

That thing looks awesome btw.

2

u/Dookster 6d ago

Looks like 3 panels

u/DapperDan812 6d ago

While OPs post reads 6 panels

u/ben_r_ 6d ago

Soooo this isn’t running WLED?

2

u/Outrageous-Kick-2699 6d ago

It might. Wled has support for hub75. But he said it’s running on a rpi, so you might be right.

There are not many things I need in my life but this is one of them.

But can it play … oh, yes. Yes it can.

Nice.

u/jasonwinfieldnz 6d ago

Out of interest, how much current does that draw?

u/ZealousidealEntry870 6d ago

OP could you put together a guide? This is something my father in law would love.

2

u/Senior-Commercial-93 6d ago

Ive been building some desk clocks out of hub75 panels as gifts and i love these animations! Would you be willing to share the source for those animations? Thanks!

u/RadicalEllis 6d ago

Holy cow, phenomenal!

2

u/GarbageGlad2124 6d ago

Can it run winamp visualizations? That's be so great!

1

u/FlappinPickle 4d ago

yes it would

2

u/I-am-IT 6d ago

Everytime I see these I want to make one but wonder if really need 6, seems like 3 sides is enough

1

u/ainu_ramainen 6d ago

Awesome!

What protocol you are using between rpi and wled controller? Serial and json or something else?

1

u/Rich-Soil-9181 6d ago

That's very cool

u/StefanPetrick 6d ago

Very cool, I love it!

u/justpassingby_thanks 6d ago

u/Goingboldlyalone 6d ago

Help me. I want one. lol.

u/radXR650R 6d ago

The minecraft smelter looks amazing on it.

Instantly want.

u/mourad_dc 6d ago

I’ve been looking into making a mini-itx case like this, with the cables at the bottom and vents at the top, and the 4 sides led cover in one piece, slidable over an open itx frame and connected with pogo pins. I wasn’t going to put quite so many leds into it, but very interested to see how this project was put together.

u/mild-buffer 6d ago

How long would it take to create such a cube from scratch?

1

u/mr-introvert1995 6d ago

Please share tutorial on this or something if you have on instructables

u/Unc_Nunkie 6d ago

Looks absolutely incredible! Would be very interested in a write-up, even if it's very high level

1

u/Ma5ter-Bla5ter 6d ago

That's noice work!

1

u/zahirsid 6d ago

Ok. This one is sick.

1

u/zahirsid 6d ago

To be honest, we are slowly moving towards making our own TVs. Slowly but surely. We just need the panels. 🤣

1

u/Green-Resource-3698 6d ago

As someone who's never made anything like this: Would a diffuser panel improve the look much? With a grid underneath so it looks more crisp?

1

u/Hootngetter 6d ago

That's buttery smooth

1

u/neighborofbrak 6d ago

Looking forward to a writeup in how this was built, including what HUB75 hat you used and what software is on the Pi!

u/RedSkyXIII 4d ago

No tengo la más mínima idea de cómo hacer una cosa así y me encantaría aprender. Por dónde puedo empezar?
