A colleague gave us Fidget Cubes, I think mainly to keep idle hands from causing too much mayhem in the office.

After building Boldport Club Cordwood Too, I was trying to think of innovative controllers for it, and started wondering if the Fidget Cube could be made to actually do anything.

Answer is: Yes! It was a bit finicky, but here's what I have so far:

* the toggle switch on the Fidget Cube is also the main power switch for the Cordwood
* the cube contains a simple 5.1V zener dropper so everything can be powered by a convenient 9V battery
* many of the controls in the Fidget Cube are active and turn off one of the LEDs:
* ball bearing switch
* 5-button keypad switch
* joystick control
