I hope this is the right place to post this. I'm building an 8x8x8 single color LED cube. I've built test circuits on a breadboard and it works. However, I'm disappointed that the LEDs are much dimmer than when they're not multiplexed. It makes sense...

After the end of the submission deadline (in ~4.5 hours!), I'd love to see a day-by-day chart showing cumulative submissions to The Hackaday Prize. The contest has certainly gained a few projects since the trickle of submissions in late April!
I have a 11×2 ft long led display that I need help figuring out how to program. Any help would be appreciated. I'm a 3rd year electrician with no idea how to play with electronics.
