Mini LED cube with 54 pixel, WiFi & gyroscope | SMT hotplate soldering | Pikocube v2.0

The Pikocube is a little LED cube with 54 pixels, a ESP8285-01F WiFi MCU and an ADXL345 gyroscope sensor. The dimensions of every single PCB are 25x25mm. Flashable via those 6 SMD pads on the one side. Plan is to use the cube as a electronic dice which detects when it is thrown and when it gets inactive.

This is a prime example how 3D printing can be integrated into manufacturing workflow. Beautifully done!

I like that support stand. Making something like this is worth a Vid by itself. Looks factory made but u can never tell.

Add wireless charging and pour white, semi-transparent material so that only the glowing LEDs are visible! :)

[@clementyap1009]

And add ability to download program wirelessly.

[@makermoekoe]

Totally agreed! Wireless charging is unfortunately not possible due to the PCB and the components between the charging coils. I tried it...

@@makermoekoe you wouldn't be able to reprogram it either, maybe if you could extend the pads upwards and then cast to the same height it would work and look fancy?

That was some awesome work there. I really liked the recycled clothes iron as a hot plate to melt the solder paste. That rings all the bells for me: clever, budget, diy, and up-cycling / re-purposing. The cube looks awesome. I also liked your pogo-pin flashing setup. Neat-o mosquito. Thanks for the video. It was not only entertaining, but informative to watch your processes. I certainly got a lot of neat ideas from watching. So again, thanks.

[@prashantsrivastava8451]

excellent men yo do a great job only real genius can do that hats off to you.

That looks sick, solder melting on hotplate is so satisfying to watch!! Can’t wait for more videos like this! And I reccommend you to use thiner PCBs if you can, it would look better.
