3x3x3 cube

Post by bcook65 »

A while back I had built a 3x3x3 cube using the minipov kit.. is there a for/next loop I can use to repeat any given line in the image table x number of times before it goes to next line?
{ 0b111, 0b111, 0b111, 0b111, 0b111, 0b111, 0b111, 0b111, 0b111, 15000 }, ( in know this is wrong but for I=1 to 50, next I)
{ 0b000, 0b000, 0b000, 0b000, 0b000, 0b000, 0b000, 0b000, 0b000, 15000 },
{ 0b111, 0b111, 0b111, 0b111, 0b111, 0b111, 0b111, 0b111, 0b111, 15000 },
{ 0b000, 0b000, 0b000, 0b000, 0b000, 0b000, 0b000, 0b000, 0b000, 15000 },
{ 0b111, 0b111, 0b111, 0b111, 0b111, 0b111, 0b111, 0b111, 0b111, 15000 }, ( in know this is wrong but for I=1 to 50, next I)
{ 0b000, 0b000, 0b000, 0b000, 0b000, 0b000, 0b000, 0b000, 0b000, 15000 },

If so, what would it look like and where would it be placed in the table.
I had found there is definitely a limit on how large an image table can be and hoping this would allow me to get more bang for my buck and allow me to do more varied animations...

just in case you ask, the full code is below

/*
LEDcube
Firmware
for use with ATtiny2313
27-August-07

Distributed under Creative Commons 2.5 -- Attib & Share Alike
*/

/*
This test firmware lights up each LED for 1/2 second, starting with the top-front-left corner LED,
and going to the bottom-rear-right corner LED.
*/

/*
to program the ATtiny2313, execute the following two commands:
make ledcube.hex
make program-ledcube
*/


#include // this contains all the IO port definitions
#include // definitions for interrupts
#include // definitions for power-down modes
#include // definitions or keeping constants in program memory


/*
The hardware for this project is as follows:
ATtiny2313 has 20 pins:
pin 1 connects to serial port programming circuitry
pin 2 PD0 - ground for top plane of 3x3 LEDs
pin 3 PD1 - ground for middle plane of 3x3 LEDs
pin 6 PD2 - ground for bottom plane of 3x3 LEDs
pin 7 PD3 - +V for lower-left LED of each plane
pin 10 ground
pin 12 PB0 - +V for upper-right LED of each plane
pin 13 PB1 - +V for upper-middle LED of each plane
pin 14 PB2 - +V for upper-right LED of each plane
pin 15 PB3 - +V for middle-right LED of each plane
pin 16 PB4 - +V for midle-middle LED of each plane
pin 17 PB5 - +V for middle-right LED of each plane -- also connects to serial port programming circuitry
pin 18 PB6 - +V for lower-right LED of each plane -- also connects to serial port programming circuitry
pin 19 PB7 - +V for lower-middle LED of each plane -- also connects to serial port programming circuitry
pin 20 +3v
All other pins are unused

This firmware requires that the clock frequency of the ATtiny 
is the default that it is shipped with: 8.0MHz internal oscillator

/*
The C compiler creates code that will transfer all constants into RAM when the microcontroller
resets. Since this firmware has a table (brainwaveTab) that is too large to transfer into RAM,
the C compiler needs to be told to keep it in program memory space. This is accomplished by
the macro PROGMEM (this is used, below, in the definition for the brainwaveTab). Since the
C compiler assumes that constants are in RAM, rather than in program memory, when accessing
the brainwaveTab, we need to use the pgm_read_byte() and pgm_read_dword() macros, and we need
to use the brainwveTab as an address, i.e., precede it with "&". For example, to access 
imageTab[3].topRow0, which is a byte, this is how to do it:
pgm_read_byte( &imageTab[3].topRow0 );
And to access imageTab[3].imageDuration, which is a double-word, this is how to do it:
pgm_read_dword( &imageTab[3].imageDuration );

Re: 3x3x3 cube

Post by mtbf0 »

that's not supported in the code for the 3x3 cube. take a look at my cootie cage project for an idea of how it might be done. since only the low order 3 bits are used for the leds, any byte with a value greater than seven could be interpreted as a command. keep in mind, though, that every time you add code to implement a new feature, you reduce the amount of memory available for your patterns. only 2k available for the whole shooting match. atmel now makes an attiny4313 which is a 4k version of the 2313, but the only guy that has them for sale is selling them on ebay in the uk. soon as mouser or digikey has stock i'll be getting some. love to hack my minipovs.

good luck.
