Hi all,
Apologies for the shameless plug, but it’s been some time since I first saw these LED cubes and since then I’ve been working on little else! It’s been a labour of love but have redeveloped my own version to the point where I’m ready to get it out there. It uses a Compute Module (CM4) with a custom carrier board active controller with some extra bits, chemcast diffusers, and mobile control, etc.
Anyway really excited to here what the community thinks of it! https://lucentcube.com
kind regards,
Ross

Very impressive.
What platform does this run on - Raspberry Pi?
Hi!
Thank you! Yes, at its heart there’s a Raspberry Pi, but it’s a compute module (CM4) instead of a regular Pi, these boards are basically a SoM (system on module), same chips etc as the alternative (CM4 is basically the same as a Pi 4) but the CM4 doesn’t have any ports or even an SD card slot. You have to design a carrier board and have it fabricated which is more of a faff for most, but if you want something completely custom then this is the best approach as you can link in a small, tidy way, even including USB which you can wire up on-board to something rather than with say a Pi 4 where you have to plug something into the USB port.
