With the rainbowduino board out of stock, does anyone know what board are compatible with the unassembled kit?

I just got mine, and 3 LED's are not working... Trying to figure out what to do about that (other than solder in new ones)

I just came here to ask if the kit came with the Rainbowduino. The description seemed sketchy. I cancelled my order.

MagicSmoke I just read the comments below. I'm canceling mine too. This is misleading, and deceptive, mass drop!! "Assembled" "unassembled" IMPLIES that they have the same damn parts, not "complete" and "unassembled and incomplete". CAVEAT EMPTOR with mass drop!!! >:-( I'm not exactly sure how massdrop works, but the deceptive ad may have been written by seeed studios, so caveat emptor with them too!

for the record, the unassembled version does not come with 10uF 16v capacitors it comes with 10uF 25v capacitors.

mutzThey hold the same capacitance. The 25v one just has a higher voltage rating. I don't think that would make any difference when using it for this project so it really doesn't matter..

To be fair (at least a little) to Massdrop the page does show exactly what is included in both the assembled and unassembled versions. There's no mention of the Rainbowduino or acrylic case in the unassembled version so that shouldn't be a surprise. However, it is bull that it contains absolutely zero instructions or documentation when that is clearly listed in the included items. The hell.

ZeroThePenguinRequiring that someone who has no idea what the COMPLETE parts list in the "assembled" version could possibly be, it is absurd to consider the listed parts as fair warning. In fact, there are so many parts listed that one would be completely reasonable in assuming that ALL NECESSARY parts are included in that list!

I, too , failed to notice that this didn't come with the Rainbowduino board or acrylic case (or instructions). I've learned my lesson to read both the Massdrop details of what is provided and the Discussion section before purchasing.
With that said, if you still want to complete this project (as I do), then here's what you need next:
Instructions: https://www.seeedstudio.com/Rainbow-Cube-kit-RGB-4X4X4-(Rainbowduino-Compatible)-p-596.html
Rainbowduino: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rainbowduino-v3-0-RGB-LED-Matrix-Controller-Mainboard-/282002626693 or http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rainbowduino-v3-0-RGB-LED-Matrix-Controller-Mainboard-with-8-8-RGB-LED-Matrix/282035547451 (includes 8x8 LED Matrix)
Acrylic Case: https://www.seeedstudio.com/Rainbow-Cube-Kit-Acrylic-Harness-p-1021.html (or have a local shop cut one for you or skip it altogether)
It costs more than what any of us expected to spend, but most DIY projects do...

yarshHoly shit the shipping for the case is, at minimum, $16. At least the Rainbowduino is only ~$28 shipped but the case is crazy.

yarshRainbowduino is also available from Seeed at https://www.seeedstudio.com/Rainbowduino-LED-driver-platform-Atmega-328-p-371.html. It's currently out of stock. Also currently out of stock via the ebay links. The assembly instructions are actually here http://www.seeedstudio.com/document/pdf/Cube.pdf . Yeah, I'm a little annoyed, too, but I usually only online assembly instructions anyway. Just found (10/4/17) the Rainbowduino at http://microcontrollershop.com/product_info.php?products_id=4490 for $24.95 + shipping. Yippee!
10/5/17 - I just received an email that the order from microcontrollershop.com was cancelled because the item is no longer available. Serious frowny face, but the search continues. At least I'll have a pretty acrylic box to put my soldering project in, because I also ordered the display box from Seeed.

Ummm...no instructions?!?!?!? Exactly how does one build this thing then. Required part to make it work? Nope!
USELESS. MASSDROP IS A SCAM!!!

No case, no chip, no assembly instructions. Completely worthless! Last time I'll be doing anything through Massdrop!

The unassembled does not come with any sort of documentation or assembly instructions although it says it does. If you are planning on buying this get the assembled version as the unassembled one is a ripoff due to the fact that you still need to buy the chip in order to build the cube and make it work.

Who would want to buy the unassembled version if it doesn't include all the parts? I thought about buying it at first to save money and have fun assembling it. Nope. Kind of dumb that you actually spend more in the long run buying the unassembled version.
