Leds and how to use them

Features

LEDs: 5 x 5 x 5 = 125 LEDs• user programmable via USB • (creation of animation/scenes)

large amount of user programmable frames• frames are separately dimmable• 4 transition speeds• available frames: 3200• 5 levels LED dimming available• no coding skills required• regulated power supply: 9VDC•

Build your 3D led cube and created unlimited 3D effects. The unit

comes standard loaded with effects. Connect to your computer

(USB) and create your own!

It is advised to start with the

mini 3D LED cube MK193.

View the assembly movie of

MK193 as guideline for

assembly of the LEDs.

Expert soldering

skills required!

Supply voltage (V) - led voltage (V)

required current (A) = series resistance (ohms)

Required resistor power handling=

voltage over resistor x current passed trough resistor

9V - 1.7V

0.005A = 1460 ohm

9V - (3 x1.7V)

0.005A = 780 ohm

(9V - 1.7V) x 0.005A = 0.036W

closest value :

use a 1k5 resistor

use an

820 ohm resistor

a standard 1/4W resistor

will do the job

Supply voltage (V) - (number of leds x led voltage (V))

How to Calculate the series resistor:

Example: operate a red led (1.7V) on a 9Vdc source.

Required led current for full brightness: 5mA (this can be found in the datasheet of the led)

LEDs in series:

Example: 3 x red led (1.7V) on 9V battery

Required led current for full brightness: 5mA

(this can be found in the datasheet of the led)

An open collector output can be compared to a switch which switches to

ground when operated

1. Assembly (Skipping this can lead to troubles ! )

Ok, so we have your attention. These hints will help you to make this project successful. Read them carefully.

1.1 Make sure you have the right tools:

A good quality soldering iron (25-40W) with a small tip.• Wipe it often on a wet sponge or cloth, to keep it clean; then apply solder to the tip, to give it a wet look. This is called ‘thinning’ and • will protect the tip, and enables you to make good connections. When solder rolls off the tip, it needs cleaning.

Thinraisin-coresolder.Donotuseanyuxorgrease.• A diagonal cutter to trim excess wires. To avoid injury when cutting excess leads, hold the lead so they cannot •

ytowardstheeyes.

Needle nose pliers, for bending leads, or to hold components in place.•

SmallbladeandPhillipsscrewdrivers.Abasicrangeisne.•

For some projects, a basic multi-meter is required, or might be handy )

1.2 Assembly Hints :

Make sure the skill level matches your experience, to avoid disappointments.• Follow the instructions carefully. Read and understand the entire step before you perform each operation. • Perform the assembly in the correct order as stated in this manual• Position all parts on the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) as shown on the drawings. • Values on the circuit diagram are subject to changes, the values in this assembly guide are correct*• Use the check-boxes to mark your progress.• Please read the included information on safety and customer service•

1.3 Soldering Hints :

Mount the component against the PCB surface and carefully solder the leads1.

Make sure the solder joints are cone-shaped and shiny2.

Trim excess leads as close as possible to the solder joint3.
