LED cube greatness!

YAY! I have a working c++ library for developing control programs for the 3x3x3 LED cube. Additionally I figured out the Arduinos interrupt scheme (forgot to add a 10 kohm resistor creating odd behavior all day) so I can switch between the patterns easily. Next step is a simple self contained control board with an atmega168. Should be fairly simple, only really 4 systems, a 5v power supply, a 16 mhz oscillator, the atmega and then the final I/O devices (LEDs and a button). Only problem is that after the interrupt it still finishes the current pattern. Not a huge deal, but could be confusing if you didn't know that it would do that.
