Interactive Cubes
6.115 Microcontroller Lab is one of the best courses at MIT and a frequent winner of the Big Screw award. For my final project in the class, I created a set of interactive cubes which could attach magnetically to each other and sense their configuration. A user can rearrange cubes and change each cube’s color via a JavaScript app.

The sides of each cube are cut from 1/8 inch acrylic and attach with press-fit joints.

Cubes attach to each other via magnets which are placed into 3d-printed housings that sit inside of each face.

A single Cypress PSoC 5LP was used in each cube and attached via mountings to the circuit board.
