As I love LEDs, I once made a 8x8x8 led cube with My husband to show it in Maker Faire Cairo. After the maker faire we used it to decorate our home.The led Cube plays patterns in a certain time sequence but I always wanted to sync it with the music. So I decided to make The Awesome lighting unit "For me" By making a lighting unit with two modes. The first is the normal one to just switch on and off and the other is synching with Music.
As large led cubes are hard and time consuming to construct an I want it to be 3dimensional,I though to make a 3D printed ball with a holes that the leds can fit into to construct it easily.
