This article describes how to install a FUNcube Pro+ (FCDPP) software defined radio (SDR) into an exisiting EME station. This can be a great benefit to both small and large stations, since monitoring the entire spectrum simultaneously will tell you exactly where other EME stations (strong enough for your system to decode) are located. The end result is a solved cube with the color scheme flipped.A software-defined receiver coupled with MAP65 software will allow the amateur radio EME (Earth-Moon-Earth) operator to visualize the entire EME sub-band at once. I do this with every corner in the cube and then flip the middle layer like how you can do it on a normal Square-1 so that two opposing sides are switched. For example, instead of making a corner with yellow on top, red on the left, and green on the right (how it would be normally) I can pair the corner wedges so that the red is on the right and green on the left. Flip the color scheme: You can intentionally put the corners together incorrectly so it seems like the top and bottom are flipped.

You can also make a Square-0 where you bandage each full 60-degree corner with its adjacent edge (although this can be done on a regular Sq-1 too) or some sort of "Square-0 dino cube" where you stick together a 30-degree corner wedge with another edge piece and its opposing corner wedge, basically making it all edges. I haven't been able to solve that particular challenge yet, but I peeled the tape off and invented a bunch of other cool things. I taped every other piece together in the layers to make what I call a "Square-6" because it has 6 pieces per layer.

#Fun cube pro mod#
Literally any bandage mod you want: Since this cube has smaller "piece increments" than a Square-1, you can make a lot of fun bandage challenges. However, Square-2 isn't a super competitive market so there aren't many other options you can go to. I'm not a super huge fan of how there's magnets in every single top and bottom layer piece, though, because you can just feel that cliclicliclicliclick with every turn and it sort of bothers me. The slice isn't magnetic, which I don't mind. The turning on this is pretty smooth even out of the box, and although it's pretty dry-feeling I haven't lubed it yet so far. I find the solution pretty simple: I just pair up the pointy corner pieces until they're like regular corners, then solve it like a regular Square-1. I only recently learned how to speedsolve Square-1, so I figured this would be the logical next step. Every single product in this bundle lives up to the hype.
#Fun cube pro upgrade#
Overall, I highly recommend this bundle for anyone looking to upgrade their mains. The bottle is a nightmare to open though, but once you do get it open, you won't be disappointed. Just amazing.I like Speedy more than DNM! I think it's because Speedy is silicone based and DNM is water based, but still.


The design is vibrant and enjoyable to use. This exceeded my expectations.I expected the thickness to be about the same as the stackmat, but it's much thicker, giving your cubes much more cushion. The Tornado V2 was my previous main, and the V3 is most definitely a step up from the V2. If you set it up properly, you can get even better times, and I guarantee you this cube is still better than any other cube on the market. I was solving better than my average with this cube ootb. For speedsolving, this is absolutely the way to go.Īmazing cube, I have tried other cubes such as the GAN 13 and this cube surpasses them all. If you're only interested in casual solving and not speedsolving, I'd just get the Yuxin as it's much cheaper and still turns well enough. Overall, the puzzle loses some points for occasional bad lockups and the clear design flaw of flash on the + centers, which is why I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5, but this puzzle is really amazing and turns far better than any other gigaminx currently on the market. This was pretty easy to do and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to speedsolve this puzzle. I removed all of this flash using nail clippers and the performance improved noticeably. Each and every one had a bit of extra plastic where there shouldn't be any plastic, causing catching issues. The biggest issue with this puzzle in my eyes is the flash on the + centers. The puzzle does have some issues with pops and lockups where pieces come out of place and sometimes these lockups kill a solve, but generally they're pretty manageable. I loosened the puzzle by a quarter turn from the factory tensions. The turning is crisp, smooth, and fairly fast with lube. The magnets are great and help a lot with turning the layers you want to turn. It's much smaller than other gigaminxes, actually only 2 or 3 mm larger than the Yuhu megaminx, but it doesn't feel too small when solving. This puzzle is by far the best currently on the market for speedsolving gigaminx. At the time of writing this review, I currently hold the world best for gigaminx with a 5:07 single.
