Tft Build with code and print files : • Vu meter update - Tft ...
My led tower build to go with the latest release of the tft mono vu meter. release date : 2 weeks from now.
I get asked quite often how i have my leds mounted. As I did not own a vu meter until now, I thought I would share my version one build quickly. and a more indepth build of my version 2 build.
Thanks to Moza : / @moza2397

Hey every.. I know i promised version 2 release in 2 weeks. i have been crazy busy. It is completed for release. i am just adding some modifications to the previous vu meter. ( all will be explained ). i hope to get the video ready in the next week... sorry to anyone thats waiting for it.. you wont be disappointed.
Awesome as always!! Been waiting for updates on your projects, but I know life gets in the way. Thanks again for all you do to feed the RGB addiction!
I appreciate that you cut and extended the strip by a few mm every 15 pixels to keep everything all nicely lined up. :]
Great looking piece.
Mate, once again you have done a fantastic job and it looks awesome. Looks like, I am having to make one for my self now.
Thanks..., They do look pretty amazing even switched off. As i mentioned, the cost is quite high, but worth every penny.
Such an amazing project just WOW!!! keep up the good work greetings from Australia
Thanks steve .. very much appreciated
You always rocking 👍👌💐
Excelente trabajo, gracias por compartir, me fabrique el muzio y quedo espectacular, thanks cine lights.
immense work, congratulations! :)
Maravilloso trabajo - wonderful work
like always amazing job! good work!!
Amazing!!! Nice job as always 👍👏
Another amazing build. Now this is one version of vu-meter (edge lit acrylic or glass) I always wanted to build, I just have to find a good supplier with reasonable prices.
Top work as ever.
Beautiful video!!!
Excellent video!
Amazing Job! I think it's time to upgrade my old stereo VU meters..... :)
Great :) Thanks for credits :)

Nice 👍 👍
Love it! Love all of the builds so far. Is there a way, or a version coming, that will allow you to connect several of these together? I think several of these running the fire effect would look amazing, as well as the other vu meters.
Just checking up on you ,bro. Hope all is well and we miss your vids!
Good
👍😱
That is true.
Do any of your VU Meters have external brightness control? Like utilizing a potentiometer to control brightness?
Essa música de fundo me acalmou.
hello.please show your diagram and Electronic circuit with the name of Parts used
Hi, that is an amazing and a mesmerising project. But if you allow me two or three questions: 1) could it be built with two towers, one for each channel, left-right, for a hifi stereo system? 2) where is its signal source? Is it by microphone? 3) as I said it is an amazing project but why don't you go to open market, for sell? Yes, you mentioned this is not a cheap project, but having it in mass production will not reduce its cost? Thank you for your time and keep up the good work.
Hi...Im sorry but your name is ...?.. anyways thanks. let me try and answer some of your questions. 1) yes it can be used in stereo format. if you build the stereo tft version you will have 2 outputs., and it uses line in only. via a headphone socket. the only issue i see is if you wish to use it in stereo mode is how far they will be apart. ? i am not sure the distance you can have a the data lead before you start to lose signal. also running a very long 5v lead you are likely to start getting voltage drop. The only thing i can suggest is build the control box and connecting 2 led strips and checking before buying and building with the acrylic. as for mass production. 50 pieces of 8mm acrylic, not only is expensive. ( around £200) it is very heavy. so sending it by post would not be cheap. like any of my projects i try to make them easy to follow so anyone can build them. that way you get the satisfaction when you have done. I will continue with the building and sharing as long as i can. certain jealous people with no imagination, who are upset as i have started to share my code in hex / bin format so they can not steal it are making it quite hard. I do this for fun.., not to make money. a few friends of mine that do the same thing have closed there channels, or are just sharing there finished projects without a build video or code. But i have some great people that follow this channel , ( its crazy how many subscriber its gaining ). The mr Wannabe is a joke.., he is posting alot of crap and i do feel i need to post a video that sinks him into the hole he crawled from... but i think its unfair on the followers of this channel.. the main view on him so far is that his next project is 240v and he messes up.
Hi there.... how to contact you direct? Need some input for a project
Hello, Hello ... as always very good ....
a query ... what power source are you using? ..... how many watts and amperage are needed? .....
a hug from Chile
His on this project i am using a 5v 8amp power supply.
Love this configuration bro, may I ask were did you get the plexiglass pieces ? Did you cut them yourself ? How thick are they, Thanks
Hey mate, hope your all good.. full specs can be found at 6:11 .... anyways its 80mm wide, 100 in length and 8mm thick with 2 m8 holes. best is to purchase local if you can. due to the weight and delivery. if you have the tools im guessing cutting it yourself would be cheaper. for me it was not a cheap build.
Please make this for esp32 or esp8266
Combination with WLED would be great 😊
Great project !!! On a strip of 144 diodes per meter, the distance between the diodes is 1.9 mm. I could not think of how to position plexiglass plates for such a distance.:(
If you want to try without using any nuts between each plate I think it could still be built, at least to a certain height. Would need to find the correct thickness spacer and only have nuts at the very top and bottom to compress it all together.
Another thought might be some sort of vertical back plane with correctly size and spaced horizontal slots that the horizontal plates could slide into. Laser cutter would probably be needed for this second sort of design.
I agree, but in the first case, at high altitude, compression from both sides can be uneven. The second method is more realizable, but also costs more. Strip manufacturers have chosen the wrong size between the diodes. :) Would make 2mm, there would be no problems. - drive.google.com/open?id=1ODetxEPdm-EdjNwzKcnCd15S21K8E6JF
Can you make a video how to upload the code..with all the details. ...
Hi Levin if you watch the youtube video listed in the description it gives you instructions how to upload the code. its very simple.
@@cine-lights and how do you upload the code by the version with a button..
how many diodes per meter are there in the tower?
Hi, There 60 leds a metre, in this build there are approx 53 leds
What type of glass you used ?? Where I buy them if you have any link to buy them less price please send me i want build this project very colour full 😍😍
I used laser cut acrylic. I would do some research on the internet. i had mine supplied as a gift. but cost for good quality cuts is about £200.
If there any use full links share please
In Russia, laser cutting of plexiglass cost me 49 euros for 60 pieces 10cm x 8 cm.
I will try this project. Any problem I let you know. Can you tell me how many leds in the tower ?
In this tower is 53 leds
@@cine-lights May I use 70 leds, and have to change something in setup ?
@@huyhoangpham8520 yes you can use 70 leds. there is nothing to change in the setup its a straight upload. you should find a 70 leds version in the download
@@cine-lights Thanks ! I got it.
Sir ! how do i get 22 patterns in vu meter mode ?
Any chance of selling this?
Hi.. as I have mentioned in the build video. It's not a cheap build. In some countries the acrylic can be purchased alot cheaper, but delivery costs are just crazy. The cost of parts alone come to about £300. I would not wish to guess on the cost of delivery as it's very heavy. So I'm afraid its not for sale. I have given you enough information for you to build your own. And you are likely to build it alot cheaper.
What is your Controller ?
If you follow the build link in the description.. it's an arduino mega..
Cine-Lights I really admire your work. I would like to work on an upgrade to this with a room surround WiFi/Bluetooth, have not decided on which to use as of yet - need to see where it would net out on timing. Although I can see you having challenges with muppets like wannabe - I have no intention of selling the effort. Would it be possible to discuss over email? Many thanks in advance.
Hi G-man. I have shared the main code with regular followers, but at this time its as far as it goes. a lot of work has gone into this project. Those who have seen the code have been quite shocked at the lengths we have taken to get it to work as well as it does, and the amount of pages of code used. you can email me @ mannymiller1968@gmail.com, i will gladly compile the code for you and discuss outputs of the finished product.
Hold this way in future, mate. I follow you, make your's project's one by one. Next will do with touch screen.But anyway, the best control is remotely: bluetooth, wifi or IR.Would by nice if "balls" jumping react to music
IR control is a no no... bluetooth works ok, but depends on the ammount of leds you are using. its not a bad idea with the bouncing balls reacting to sound. with 3 or 4 balls though with a high bmp tune would be chaos
@@cine-lights exacly! you you understood my thought. 2 or 3 balls is enough
Здравствуйте. Каждый раз все круче и круче девайс. Очень понравилось. А вы не изготавливаете модуль управления на заказ с пересылкой? Спасибо. Просто у нас не найти комплектующие. Очень далеко до центра. Спасибо за ответ и сие творение.
В принципе на алиэкспрессе есть всё. Для повторения предыдущих проектов я там и заказывал. Доставка с али ,мне кажется, обойдется раз в десять дешевле доставки готового блока из места проживания автора :)
@@EGORka140764 Игорь, здравствуйте. Можно попросить у вас наименование деталей, схему и прошивку. Что уже на русском и понятно все было. Ещё вопрос: стерео варианта с дисплеем случайно ещё нет?
@@user-kv9od7pk5v Добрый день ,стерео с дисплеем в предыдущем видео расписано - Stereo Vu meter update - full touchscreen control - th-cam.com/video/ZeXg23qUSiQ/w-d-xo.html. Понятно что с дисплеем побольше эффектов, но я пока управлением по блютус доволен. Каждый раз для смены эффектов не готов вставать и подходить к башне да и дисплей пока не могу найти подходящий.. Деталей там немного, для линейного входа 1 электролитический конденсатор на 1 мкф и пара сопротивлений на 10 кОм. Для стерео башен соответственно два комплекта, для разных каналов.

@@EGORka140764 Игорь, здравствуй. Ещё вопрос возник. Какую лучше использовать платформу Ардуино, Мега или Уно на стерео версию? Спасибо.
@@user-kv9od7pk5v Добрый день, все схемы и прошивки последние сделаны под MEGA.
@Cine-Lights heya get a hold of me, I emailed ya....thx
Thanks for the informative videos. Can you please help? We are trying to make 4 speaker towers with rgbnw strips and an external microphone for a music reactive led system that acts singularly as one tower or all together 4 towers. We want to have everything addressable so we can add arduino. So we need to know all the components that work together with an ac plug-in, whether it's a kit or we have to build it. We will gladly pay to help solve this problem or to have it made if required. We would like to use sk-6812 RGBW(natural white). We would also prefer to use high quality components that will last a long time with no fire risk. Thank you.
Hi, i have not done any work or projects using the sk6812 chipset, but have been informed they are just a ws2812 clone. so fastled etc should work just fine with them., as will the neopixel library. so the majority of the code should work as intended. Now, the idea of this channel is help you build as easy as possible the projects on this channel. now i do get a lot of requests, and as it is a hobby, ( i make no money from this channel ) i only tend to answer requests when it has been requested a lot of times. in this case it has not. The fact you have not only requested code, but also all the components to build your project - leads me to believe this is a lazy build. Do your research. I am more than happy to help you with any of the projects here, but do not anything else. sorry.
Witch I c is this
If you follow the build link to the mono tft, it uses the arduino mega.
this acrylic is to expensive per piece..
Hey smoochies, it was one of my first statements, its not a cheap project.
bro what about moodlite with lens...can u test that..of it really enhance the leds..
