Electronics and microcontrollers, Arduinos and ESP32s, silly projects and pretty lights!
Infinity coffee table with WLED and WS2815 LEDs
After a chance find on Facebook marketplace, I decided to turn an unsuspecting coffee table into something a little more flashy. Behold, the infinite coffee table! Video also conatins some information about the current requirements for WS2815 LEDs, as I found conflicting information online.
The LEDs for this project were kindly provided by Shenzhen Gaoxianse Photoelectric Co, check out their products here: gaoxianse.en.alibaba.com/

Writing 'Simon' on the Grove Beginner Kit
Переглядів 2,6 тис.3 роки тому
I was sent a Grove Beginner Kit for Arduino from Seeed Studios to have play with, and thought it might be fun to write a 'Simon' type game for it. We'll look at how to structure a simple game, write bitmaps to the OLED, and make tunes with the buzzer. Full disclosure: This video is only sponsered in as much as Seeed studios provided the kit for free. No other money changed hands. GitHub page fo...
Animated indicators (turn signals) with Arduino, FastLED and a WS2812B LED strip.
Переглядів 54 тис.3 роки тому
I was recently asked how to connect a Arduino to a car lighting circuit to control some LED strips. As there are a number of ways to do that, I thought I'd go through some of my ideas here. This video is a bit more technical and less flashy than the last few, so if that's not you're thing you can skip this one!

3D-printable ESP32 powered VU display with the INMP441 digital microphone and a WS2812B matrix
Переглядів 29 тис.3 роки тому
Continuing the VU meter matrix series, here we look at how to use a much cleaner digital microphone and a 3d printed case to build two VU meters - a baby 8x8 and a mid-size 16x16 display! All files are available on GitHub, and if you have experience of using FastLED, you could add your own patterns and functionality. The hardware connections are exactly the same as for WLED sound reactive, so i...
3D Printed LED Infinity Cube Using FastLED, Arduino and ESP32
Переглядів 155 тис.3 роки тому
A while ago I spotted this tiny USB strip, and thought I should make it into an infinity cube. Thankfully I didn't know at the time what a pain it would be to make. Howeve, the end result is really nice - UA-cam's compression algorithms really don't do it any favours!

FastLED Basics Episode 6 - Noise
Переглядів 32 тис.3 роки тому
In the 6th episode of FastLED basics, we look at the noise functions. These can be somewhat difficult to understand and there isn't really any documentation to speak of. Noise provides a 'smooth randomness' that allows plenty of interesting-looking patterns with only small amounts of code - if you know how to use it! CORRECTION: Around 16:15, I should have said that the last parameter in nblend...
FastLED Basics Episode 5 - Multiple patterns using a timer or button
Переглядів 54 тис.3 роки тому
In the 5th episode of FastLED basics, we look at how run multiple patterns, and change them either on a timer or by pushing a button. We will then look at crossfading between patterns to provide a more professional look. Finally we will see how and why we might use classes to separate our patterns from each other making it easier to add more patterns or edit the code in the future. GitHub link ...
FastLED Basics Episode 4 - Waves and blur
Переглядів 64 тис.3 роки тому
IMPORTANT: Since making this video, a comment from a viewer made me realise that using beatsin8 for LED position is not a high enough resolution for anything but the shortest strips. Please see the note on GitHub github.com/s-marley/FastLED-basics/blob/main/4. Waves and blur/README.md explaining the situation. The fourth episode of FastLED basics has us looking at the wave and blur functions. L...
FastLED Basics Episode 3 - Palettes
Переглядів 72 тис.3 роки тому
In the third episode of FastLED basics, we look at palettes. Palettes are a powerful FastLED feature that will help you to create coherent patterns without too much work! We'll have a look at gradient and 16 color palettes, dealing with palettes using online tools, fadeToBlackBy, and finally look at palette blending. GitHub link for code: github.com/s-marley/FastLED-basics Gradient color palett...
FastLED Basics Episode 2 - Color: RGB and HSV
Переглядів 100 тис.3 роки тому
In the second episode of FastLED basics, we look at using color. If you've done any programming before, you might be aware of the RGB color system, and this is great for drawing pictures on a screen. But if we want to make interesting LED patterns, we're much better off using the HSV system instead. We will also cover setting the brightness for the whole strip, LED color correction, and color t...
FastLED Basics Episode 1 - Getting started
Переглядів 274 тис.3 роки тому
In the first episode of this new mini-series, we look at how to get started with the FastLED library for addressable LEDs. We cover what FastLED is, what hardware we will need and how to start coding. Finally, we get our LED strip to light for the first time and display some patterns. In the next video we will look at how FastLED handles color as there is rather a lot to cover there! GitHub lin...
Arduino powered LED Mask with FastLED [Part 2] - Enclosure and wiring
Переглядів 8 тис.3 роки тому
Return of the mask! Here I complete the mask build by making it wearable. I design an enclosure in Fusion 360 and wire it all up. I've also added two more buttons to enable the brightness and sound sensitivity to be changed. If you want to build something like this yourself, check out my previous video here ua-cam.com/video/zYZkbfmCuEY/v-deo.html If you've found this useful and you'd like to su...
Jacobs ladder using a ZVS driver and TV flyback transformer
Переглядів 11 тис.4 роки тому
For something a little different this time, I made a Jacob's ladder using easily obtainable parts from Amazon. A ZVS driver is powered by a 15A 24V DC supply with the electrodes being made from an old clothes hanger. Please excuse the slightly crappy sound quality, I'm not sure what happened there. A good description of the circuit operation can be found here: adammunich.com/zvs-driver/ As an A...
ESP32 spectrum analyser VU meter using arduinoFFT and a FastLED matrix
Переглядів 100 тис.4 роки тому
I was struggling to understand the arduinoFFT library due to its lack of documentation, so I spent some time investigating and this is what I made. This might also work on an ESP8266, but you will have to reduce the sampling rate as it's not as fast as the ESP32. The code is written using the Arduino IDE. It can have any number of bands, and comes with 5 preset patterns but it's easy enough to ...
Arduino powered LED Mask with FastLED [Part 1] - How to write code for an irregular matrix
Переглядів 23 тис.4 роки тому
I made an LED mask with 11 patterns to demonstrate how to code for a matrix that is not rectangular. It runs on an Arduino Nano and uses FastLED library. If you just want to look at pretty flashing lights, skip to 07:35. Watch right to the end to see the basic sound reactive part - this still needs some work!
