It would be nice to have a function to draw a plane/cube this not parallel to the coordinate planes by giving 4 sets of coordinates.

I have this cube and works similar to the 4x4x4 that already exists except is not RGB.
It uses the same STC15f2k60s2 chip.
Did some changes and create new files but is not working yet so I'm looking for help.

Example code to manual put a zero on the front:

unsigned char mBuffer[64];
unsigned char Zero[16] = {0x00, 0x7C, 0xFE, 0xB2, 0x9A, 0xFE, 0x7C, 0x00, 0x00, 0x7C, 0xFE, 0xB2, 0x9A, 0xFE, 0x7C, 0x00}; // 0

for (int i=48;i<64;i++) {
mBuffer[i] = Zero[i-48];
}
Serial.write(0xf2);
Serial.write(mBuffer,64);

I think the problem is how this cube has the led's addressed.

Subject of the issue

Compile issue using MD_Cubo_4x4_ICS595.h

Your Environment

Library Version: 2.1.0
Arduino IDE version: 1.8.15
Hardware model/type: Arduino Uno
OS and Version: LinuxLite

Steps to Reproduce

run Test or Demo, mark correct board "MD_Cubo_4x4_ICS595.h" , upload, errors out : file MD_CUBO_4x4_ICS595.h not found

Expected Behaviour

compile properly

Actual Behaviour

MD_Cubo_4x4_ICS595.cpp references MD_CUBO_4x4_ICS595.h, but title is "MD_Cubo_4x4_ICS595.h" in Linux, file names are case sensitive. renamed reference in CPP file and it compiled fine.

Code Demonstrating the Issue

Insert your code here.

The issue is that the code at the moment isn't going to work for my cube type which isn't using any integrated circuits
it's made with discrete components only, I have three PNP transistors switching the layers and because of it's
small size which is a 3x3x3 cube I have the 9 columns directly connected to my Arduino Nano GPIO pins.

Going through your documentation and your example sketches I can see your code working for the driver-less cube types
like the one that I made for testing purposes, with your library it would be much easier and much less code one has to make
to create the animated patterns and that's just what people need I think and I would love to contribute to this project and do whatever is needed to get the driver-less small DIY test cube being supported by your library.

Environment: 3x3x3 driver-less LED cube, only discrete components, PNP BJT's
Library Version: latest
Arduino IDE version: 1.8.12
Hardware model/type: Arduino Nano
Windows 10 Pro or Linux Raspberry Pi OS

Most of the library I think that I understand and I see why this should be the main option for all LED cube projects on Arduino
but I still need some help or pointing in the right direction to get it to work for my cube too so if you're still into this project
and have the time to help a guy out I would for sure appreciate it very much.

Please let me know what you think, thanks.

When running the function OutsideStack from the demo file the Arduino is crashing for some reason.
All other demo animations work fine.

Subject of the issue

Clearing the cube doesn't seem to work properly with my ICStation 595 4x4x4 Cube. When I call .clear, only the lower two planes are cleared. The upper two are not.

Your Environment

Library Version: 2.1.0
Arduino IDE version: 1.8.13
Hardware model/type: Arduino UNO + ICStation 595 4x4x4 Cube
OS and Version: Windows 10 64-bit

Steps to Reproduce

Run the code example provided below on a ICStation 595 4x4x4 Cube.

Expected Behavior

All voxels/LEDs get turned off by calling C.clear().

Actual Behavior

Just the voxels/LEDs in the lower two planes are turned off. The voxels/LEDs in the upper two planes are still lit.

Code Demonstrating the Issue

#include <MD_Cubo.h>
#include "MD_Cubo_4x4_ICS595.h"

MD_Cubo_ICS595  C;

void setup() {
  C.begin();
}

void loop() {
  const uint16_t delay = 1000;

  C.fillPlane(VOX_ON,0, 0);
  C.fillPlane(VOX_ON,0, 1);
  C.fillPlane(VOX_ON,0, 2);
  C.fillPlane(VOX_ON,0, 3);
  C.update();
  C.animate(delay);

  C.clear();
  C.update();
  C.animate(delay);
}

Hello,

I'm trying to run your library MD_Cubo_Demo with my ics595-type card (ICStation 4X4X4 Light Cube Kit).

I removed the comment in front of #include "MD_Cubo_4x4_ICS595.h".
The code compiles and loads correctly in my Arduino Uno but nothing happens.
My LED Cube remains silent and displays nothing.
I tested my Led Cube and it works properly with the provided library.
Could you help me please ?

Thanks you

It would be nice to have a way to rotate contents along any custom axis.

Hi!

I get a build error when trying to build the jolliCude_MD_Cubo_Demo_V1_0-sketch with an Arduino Micro / Leonardo or any board with A Atmega32U4 on.

I get the following error:

I'm using a jolliCube + the library works great with an Arduino Uno. Thank you. I've sent in a contribution.
I'd love to adapt this to work with the Adafruit Feather nrf52840 Express, which would allow me to easily add Bluetooth from Adafruit's iOS and Android Bluefruit app.

I've connected the Adafruit board & the test sketch runs fine, but when running the the MD_Cubo_Demo_V1_0, I get the errors below. FYI: The wiring on the Adafruit board is:
M0 instead of Pin 11 on the Uno and
SK instead of Pin 13 on the Uno

Errors are as follows:
