With your code, how do you control the outputs of the data?

Also, I understand that all the bits set to 1 will light up all the leds and 0 will turn them off but i dont get the other combinations and their functions like 110 or 101 in the code for the pattern. Can you please enlighten me on the programming block for the pattern? I'd also like to know if you would know how to make it work with STP08CP05 drivers. Thanks! hello, I tried your program with two STP08CP05 drivers which are pretty similar to the 74HC595 but it does not seem to work and I’m wondering why.

The two ICs on the board are 74HC595. They are not micro processors, they are Shift registers which take serial input from the Arduino and output to 8 separate(parallel) outputs to control the power to each column. The grounds of each of the three levels are connected with wire without insulation directly to Arduinos pins 6, 12 and 11. The thing connected to HD1 is a 0.1 uF capacitor. I got the information for it from http://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/ShiftOut it said "Notice the 0.1�f capacitor on the latchPin, if you have some flicker when the latch pin pulses you can use a capacitor to even it out." The other thing that is connected above HD1 and next to IC1 is another connector to connect to the Arduinos pins 6 and 7. Good luck! -Tim Hi Cristobal,

You could give me more information? you used something front to HD1, what is? please!! thanks and sorry for my english Hi Tim, I’m Cristobal from Chile, I am writing because I’m a long time looking for a 3d cube with arduino, but I have some questions :) the resistance Ω(I don’t know as it is called in english) that you used what band is Ω? and you use 74MC595, is this a micro processor?
