The cubes are chainable, so you can create some\u00a0<strong>amazing<\/strong> effects (such as the wave pictured) and will be compatible, and fully controllable, with the Raspberry Pi (all models) plus Arduino and other microcontrollers. Each cube contains an\u00a0ATmega 1284P chip and is capable of producing\u00a032,767 colours.<\/p>\n<p>There are some absolutely\u00a0<strong>glorious<\/strong> animations featured on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/2135028730\/voxcube-8x8x8-rgb-led-chainable-cubes?ref=raspberrypipod\" target=\"_blank\">Kickstarter page<\/a>, so <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/2135028730\/voxcube-8x8x8-rgb-led-chainable-cubes?ref=raspberrypipod\" target=\"_blank\">head over there to check them out<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The VoxCube comes as a kit <strong>which requires no soldering<\/strong>\u00a0and should, according to Mark, take about 20 minutes to put together. It comes with everything you require to get it running and includes an acrylic case to turn it into a proper &#8216;exhibit&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Pledges which include the VoxCube start at $225 (Australian) which is about \u00a3120 including shipping. This seems expensive, but it is a\u00a0<em>beautiful<\/em> product with a lot of potential.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/2135028730\/voxcube-8x8x8-rgb-led-chainable-cubes?ref=raspberrypipod\" target=\"_blank\">So, if you&#8217;re interested, head over to the Kickstarter page<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14339\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.recantha.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/d2246277b81bcc7428e4fb468f3e590e_original.jpg?resize=560%2C494&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"d2246277b81bcc7428e4fb468f3e590e_original\" width=\"560\" height=\"494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.recantha.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/d2246277b81bcc7428e4fb468f3e590e_original.jpg?w=680&amp;ssl=1 680w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.recantha.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/d2246277b81bcc7428e4fb468f3e590e_original.jpg?resize=300%2C265&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.recantha.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/d2246277b81bcc7428e4fb468f3e590e_original.jpg?resize=560%2C494&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.recantha.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/d2246277b81bcc7428e4fb468f3e590e_original.jpg?resize=260%2C229&amp;ssl=1 260w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.recantha.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/d2246277b81bcc7428e4fb468f3e590e_original.jpg?resize=160%2C141&amp;ssl=1 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mark Williams from Ozzmaker\u00a0has been in touch about his new Kickstarter project.
