Hey Jim.
Basically the “Here is the program.” is the editor program that runs on your computer. You will need to download and install Processing. Go here to get it: http://processing.org/download/ Just click the link in the middle that says, “Windows” which will download the Processing ZIP file. Unzip that and go to the folder that you unzipped it into. Open the “processing.exe” program. Then click the “File” menu then “Open” and select the “LED_Cube_Editor.pde” file from the where you unzipped the “LED_Cube_Editor.zip” earlier and click “Open.” Click the Button on the toolbar that looks like an arrow which should start the editor. By the way, Processing is the programming language that the editor is written in.

I hope this helps you.

Hi again, Tim!
I am running your program now on a windows machine, but I don’t understand how to get the code to run on my Arduino. I can copy the code, but I don’t understand how to get it compiled as an Arduino sketch. Can you give me detailed instructions here? I really like the idea, and you obviously know gobs about this… but a noob I is… tusen tack ! (swedish…)

Hi Tim! I have crashed my computer 3 times trying to run the pde in processing… Ubuntu 10.04 can’t do it? or is it me?? The processing window is working, but the LED programming sketch just restarts my comp.

Thanks for the help!
Jim

Unfortunately I do not have time to add that feature, but the source code is posted at the end of the post in the zip file and your are welcome to add that feature. Please post a link here to your modified version to share with others. The source file is called “LED_Cube_Editor.pde” and you can go to http://www.processing.org to learn about how to program in Processing.

Hi,
This is an awesome program! Could you possibly make it have the option to be compatable with a 4x4x4 LED cube?
Thanks!

Hey George. The program is inside the zip file inside “LED_Cube_Editor” folder then inside “application.windows”(If you use windows, but if you use Mac OS X it’s under “application.macosx” if you use linux then it’s “application.linux”) the program is called “LED_Cube_Editor.exe” If you run it you will not get any out put of code that it generates you have to install Processing http://processing.org/download/index.html and open the “LED_Cube_Editor.pde” source code file in the “LED_Cube_Editor” folder. Then run it by clicking on the “Play” button the code generate button is the big orange rectangle at the bottom. The code will be shown in the bottom of the Processing editor window. To copy the generated code just select it with your mouse and press Ctrl+C.
I hope this helps.

What a great IDEA!!!! I tried to download your program so I can use it but could not get it to work for some reason. I will continue to try to get it going. I think this is a very awsome idea though for both newbies like myself or even experianced people as well. Thank you very much!!!
