4x4 RGB Square

Dwayne used the same trick used for the 12 LED Circle/24 LED RGB Sphere. He designed the base of the 4x4x4 RGB Cube to be a standalone 4x4 RGB Square.

Watch as colors wash from side to side, corner to corner, up/down, fading in and fading out. 16 RGB LEDs, each individually firing to create the penultimate in mesmerizing patterns.

The design has two buttons to select the pattern. Like most of our boards it has the IR emitter and receiver for two way communication to other blinkie boards. This blinkie design was introduced in 2012 at Musecon

This is an advanced kit! This kit is designed for people with some soldering skills, perhaps having built a few blinkie kits or other projects.
