(Tbh the % isn't based on real measurable progress, but it is 2*42 )

First of all, thanks for the follows and skulls! As you can see from my profile I'm very new to hackaday.io. I've been busy doing stuff and things the last few days, so I haven't looked into what goes where yet, but here is an status report for the Infinity cube project.

The hardware: The cube, its base and the electronics are finished.

The firmware: The executable part of the firmware is finished (feature and bug complete).

The firmware: The data part (which is stored in the program space of the uC) is partly finished:

- I need to write a few demo programs to show the cubes abilities

The documentation: under way, here is a list of things to do:

- The code is commented

- The schematics and board design files need to be tidied up a bit .

I'm still not sure if, how, where and under what license I will share/publish these.

- I made videos of the construction progress for a build log/how-to video, but the video footage quality wasn't what I'd hoped. The footage (+/- 110 clips of varying length (and variable frame rate unfortunately) need to be converted to a file format which I can easily use in a video-editing program. I want to use Blenders VSE. which afaik needs fixed frame rate input. Unfortunately I'm having problems with transcoding, I get errors for a large part of the videos when I try to fix the frame rates.

- I need to make some more videos, showing and explaining the workings of the cube and the firmware

- for the above I need to figure out what I want to show, and how

- I need to edit all the footage into one clip, get some feedback and maybe re-edit a bit. write some more project info and publish it.

Before I found this site (the .io part) I was busy sorting out the mess of project files which were strew around on my harddrives. If I sort that out before I finish the project I can have a more comprehensive profile, which i think is a good thing to have at that time.

I hadn't written the list above down yet, so that's already some more progress :) but that's it for now.


You guys decided to follow this project just based on a picture, I was wondering what you would like to know about this project, maybe you can drop me a hint?
