4tronix Cube:Bit 4x4x4 RGB LED Cube Kit

4tronix Cube:Bit 4x4x4 RGB LED Cube Kit is a programmable RGB LED cube with Neopixel LEDs on every side, providing all-round illumination for visual and educational projects.

Overview

The kit comprises four layers of Neopixel LEDs arranged on each side of the cube, so the display is visible from any angle. It serves as a hands-on tool for learning about 2D and 3D coordinates, animation principles, and basic electronics, while also allowing custom light shows to be created.

Power and Programming

Operation requires the Cube:Bit Base, which is sold separately, to provide power, along with a controller of your choice, which is not included. Programming can be carried out using standard Neopixel code with a Raspberry Pi, or with the Makecode package designed for the micro:bit, making the kit suitable for coding clubs and STEM projects.

Key Features

• All-round illumination: Neopixel LEDs on every side produce 3D light effects visible from any angle.
• Educational use: Supports teaching programming logic, 3D arrays, coordinates, and colour theory.
• Flexible programming: Compatible with Raspberry Pi (Python and Neopixel) and micro:bit (Makecode blocks or JavaScript).
• Expandable system: Multiple Cube:Bit sets can be stacked together to increase the density of lights.
• Solder-free assembly: Requires only a screwdriver and can be completed in a few minutes.

Physical Details

The cube has a width of 3.3, a depth of 1.5, and a height of 4.3, and weighs 96 g. Its modular design allows it to be physically stacked with other Cube:Bit sets.
