The LED Cube we are going to build is designed for entry level hobbyist who wants to take on the challenge to build a bigger cube.

Though our cube is not designed to work with any particular microcontroller, we will be using the popular Arduino board for this project to drive our cube via SPI using only 3 signal wires.

Most entry level hobbyist may find difficulty building the electronic circuit to drive the LED Cube especially troubleshooting the circuit when things go wrong. For our electronic circuit, we will basically be using the MAX7219 ICs to drive the cube so the number of components required is quite minimal.
