General Updates On Our Activities

We received the new 4Cube boards from the fab house today. The new version isn’t dramatically different than the old, but will feature USB connectivity to the PC to allow hackers & artists to control the cube without having to deal with low level microcontroller programming. It will also feature some basic controls on the cube itself to navigate visualizations (pause, forward, back, etc.) Should be available sometime next week.
The final 8Square boards have been sent to the fabbers recently as well, and they should be arriving in a few weeks. Expect kits to be available in about 4-5 weeks.
The 8Cube has been on the back burner a bit while we wrap up the new 4Cube and 8Square, but with the recent soldering juju (posted below) we should have a fully operational RGB battlestation 8x8x8 cube, at least insofar as the the electronics is concerned. Hopefully Chris will get it dancing soon.

You should rename the 8cube to “Duke Nukem Forever Cube”..
……. someday, someday

I just picked up the new case.
Went to digikey and picked up another PIC18F4620-I/P and a couple 40 pin sockets.
This way, I can do as much messing around, without fear of anything going wrong, and once I get it right, I can have twice the memory on call.

Hi Dave,
Your Duke Nukem comment hurts… and is funny, alas. I’m hoping to get the 8cube available, in some form, by the end of the year. We’ve been meaning to take some video and post it; I’ll try to get that sooner rather than later.
