It is advised to start with the
mini 3D LED cube MK193.

Supply voltage (V) - led voltage (V)
required current (A) = series resistance (ohms)
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)

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.

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.
