Is there a manual for the CubeAnimator 1.4 ?
(not the minimalistic Help file in the program.)

The help screen should be enough to get you started. Simply experiment with the controls, there is not much you can do wrong…

Every button has a tooltip explaining its purpose

You must be kidden !!

  • Where do You change speed ??
  • Rotate: only for 3 x 3 ??
  • What is a Scene exactly ??
    _ can You load/ save separate scenes
    If I had know it was so poorly documented, I would have think twice to buy a 5x5x5 cube.

V E R Y unproffesionall.

There is a button on the led cube itself that controls the speed.

[quote]- Rotate: only for 3 x 3?[/quote]Rotating a 5x5 cube is not possible, because the outer leds rotate faster than the inner leds. So it would never act the way you expect.

[quote]- What is a Scene exactly ??
_ can You load/ save separate scenes[/quote]You do not need to worry much about scenes.

[quote]_ can You load/ save separate scenes[/quote]Only complete animations can be saved or loaded from file, because this is what you send to the led cube.

[quote]If I had know it was so poorly documented, I would have think twice to buy a 5x5x5 cube.[/quote]It is very rare for someone to read a software manual…

You should look at this.
They can rotate, even choose layer, row, and colums

[quote]- What is a Scene exactly ??

[color=#0000FF]Why bother to incorporate this in the program ??
[/color][quote]_ can You load/ save separate scenes[/quote]Only complete animations can be saved or loaded from file, because this is what you send to the led cube.

[color=#0000FF]- If there would have been a real manual, I would maybe not have bothered you, to ask these “stupid” questions.

You have not yet succeeded in creating an animation?

I received the Cube today, was preparing, I can theoretically make an animation, but it could be easier with a better program. I see also that there is a Sharing button, but can’t see anywhere some files of other users.

I tried this in another post, but because there is no answer, I try it here again.

[i]"Is there a possibility to obtain a new main PCB and 2 led drivers (stp16CP05) ?

I soldered 1 SMD IC wrongly, and damaged the board, trying to de-solder it."
