Block code parsing

  1. Initialize and enable
    Img
    Initializes the total number of concatenated cubes. A maximum of 3 cubes can be concatenated.
    Img
    Enable all cubes to be concatenated.
    Usage:
    Img

  2. Light up some leds in the cube by converting a base-2 number to a base-10 number.
    Img
    Cube: Select a cube in all concatenations. The value can be 0 to 3.
    Layer: Select a layer in the cube. The value can be 0 to 3.
    LED0-LED15: The 16 leds in one layer are mapped to a 16-bit binary number: 0bxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. Convert to a decimal number from 0 to 65535.

  3. Light a layer of leds through images.
    Img Cube: Select a cube in all concatenations. The value can be 0 to 3.
    Layer: Select a layer in the cube. The value can be 0 to 3.
    LED0-LED15: A 5*5 lattice image uses only its 4*4 lattice.
    Usage:
    Img
    “x”: invalid

  4. Light an LED in the cube through the coordinates.
    Img
    Cube: Select a cube in all concatenations. The value can be 0 to 3.
    X, Y, Z: 0 to 3. LED: 0 or 1, 0: OFF, 1: ON.
