+# Mini LED Cube
+
+A 3x3x3 LED Cube, originally based on [Paul Wilhelms project][2] with USB and a
+lot of new features. An AVR (attiny2313 or attiny4313) with [V-USB][3] (software
+USB stack) controls a matrix of 3x3x3 LEDs which forms a 3D cube of LEDs. Every
+LED in this cube can be controlled independently over a simple
+protocol. Various tools (commandline-tool, 3D OpenGL editor) can be used the
+create animation sequences or use the cube as a [XFD][4].

-This is the source code for the [Mini LED Cube (smd) project][1] as it is going to
-be implemented during a workshop series.

+## Building
+
+The project has two parts: The LED Cube and the controller PCB. Both parts can
+be build completely separate.
+
+* The Cube is a little bit tricky to solder. To see which wire should be bend
+  and solder in which direction, use the [3D STL model][12] for reference. To
+  see more detail, install [OpenSCAD][13] and load the [threedvis.scad][14] file.
+
+* For the PCB there is a [detailed instruction plan][11] available. The
+  instructions include soldering the parts, testing, flashing the firmware and
+  setting the fuse bits.
+
+
+## Tools
+
+* The [client lib][5] is a simple interface for other software
+  implementations. Have a look at the [demo.c][6] file how to include the lib
+  into your own project.
+
+* A commandline client [clcc][9] can be used to control the cube interactively
+  over the commandline. Various commands can be send to the cube, see
+  [the sourcecode][10] for explanation.
+
+* The [3D OpenGL Editor][7] is using the client lib mentioned above. The editor
+  shows a 3D representation of the LED cube and can be moved with the cursor
+  keys. All virtual LEDs can be clicked wit hthe mouse to toggle it on or off.
+
+* To use the cube as a XFD (number of mails in INBOX, finished tickets today,
+  incomming phone call, number of missed chat messages in an IRC channel, ...)
+  you can use the [frame2cube.pl][8] script to send a complete frame to the cube.
