Before starting build your cube, please read though all the instructions first.
Bulding the Cube is not difficult, but it will take your about 90 minutes to finish
it.
Building the Cube.
LED Soldering
Find the bag included 70 RGB LEDs and 4 Slim Panel PCBs, hold one LED, lines up
the pins and push it in. The longest pin of LED needs to lines up to the square
though hole on PCB,(Marked red). Notice the flat spots about 5mm away from the
LED, stop pushing the LED in when the flat spots reached the PCB. Please note that
the LED pins need to line up to silk screen.
Repeat doing this, fill all 4 slim panel PCBs with LEDs, solder them and clip off
the extra wires.
Tips: It's recommended to set the iron temperature at 350 centi degree, or you
might burn the LEDs.
Side A slim PCB
In this part we need the Side A slim PCBs. (PCB in stick shape marked Side
A). Now we need to solder it to the Slim panel PCB. There's 4 of each, pick-up
one randomly and find the 'Side A' silk screen and notch on both PCBs,
connect them with the north and solder them together. please notice the angle
needs to be at 90 degree.
Do this again, solder the rest 3 Side A slim PCBs to the Slim Panel PCB.
Slim Panel PCB
Now we should have 3 Slim Panel PCBs left, line them up to the same direction of
the already soldered Slim Panel PCB, connect Slim Panel PCBs to Side A slim PCBs
with the notch and solder them. Now you will find your cube is almost there, take a
break and go on.
Side B slim PCB
In this part we will solder 4 side B slim PCBs to the cube, pickup one randomly, find
the Side B silk screen and the north on both PCBs. Connect them with the notch and
solder them together. Please note that the 'side B' silk screen on Slim Panel PCBs
look a bit like 'Side R', we will try fix this problem in the next version.
Side A and Side B soldered
Do this again, solder the rest 3 Side B slim PCBs to the cube.
Jumper Pad
To make this cube work correctly, we need to solder 8 jumper pads on Side A and B
slim PCBs.
