Binary numbers, and why you sometimes need to know them for doing lighting.

- We cover counting in decimal vs counting in binary and how to convert a DMX address to binary and set DIP switches if you happen to find yourself facing a light that still uses them.
EDUCATORS - Feel free to use this video in your classes! That's why I started making these.

Dear Lord! I'm now one of Them.
Best lecture on binary numbering I've had in my 60 years. Finally I grok it.
Your videos make me all sorts of happy. The delivery on the humor is spot on, and the interest on the topic is contagious.
I'm about to take an assembly course and I thought I'd start investigating. Thank you so much for this video, you were my first. I'll never forget you.
I was blessed to have been able to work directly with thr late Ken Vannice up until his retirementl. He had such a vast wealth of knowledge and experience of 50 years in the industry and being one of the pioneers of the original DMX lighting protocol. Any time he was speaking about anything, I found it more important to listen to him than to do anything else. He was very animated speaking with his hands, talk and slender. We called him Big Bird because of this. He unfortunately became ill not too long after retirement and passed away. I still have one of his dress shirts out of some of his clothing that was passed down to us to remember him by. It was a pleasure and my fortune knowing you Ken, R.I.P., we all miss you greatly.
Love your videos. This video explains things very well combined with a real world application with a gentle, not manic, silliness I can appreciate.
I always love the thought and production value you put into your videos. This one is no exception. Great work!

Hey, a new video! Nice! Looking forward for more videos, if you feel like it. Being outside theatrical or lighting, I am curious about some more peculiarities from your trade...
I’m always so happy to see a nee video of yours! I share your channel all the time! Thank you Jonathan!
At the end he is back 🌟✌🏻 Thank you for this excellent video. I hope the new one will come soon 🐾⚒️⚙️
Been awhile, was happy too see a new video, thanks for posting more content. I always enjoy your videos.
Ever since I started setting vision cookies in Ms paint, I noticed and have used that each color has 256 levels of difference. And then later, playing 2048+ with larger boards and higher goals, I've gotten to the point there I'm rarely stumbling before 65k when counting up on powers of 2. So it's fun to see a new way knowing this kind of thing can be useful 👍
........... setting *custom *colors. How tf did I not catch that lmao
Lovely and concise, thank you.
He's back! :)
Welcome back!
was very understandable for . You were so detailed and it made all these new tNice tutorialngs way less intimidating
Please do more videos
"Here we have the P atterns. Now these P atterns are..."
neat
İ never knew that binary numbers were read backwards.
It can go either way. Usually in the computer they go the normal way, but every time I've dealt with them having to program DIP switches it's been the reverse.
Binary should have the most significant figure on the left because this is how base 10 works. The starting at one makes no sense either. It'd be like if I told you 314 is 315 because its the 315th item if you start at 0.
As stated in the video, binary is *not consistent* as to which order it comes in. DIP switches on moving lights have the least significant bit on the left, as well as the most modern Intel Core processors. If it was consistent there wouldn't be a whole wikipedia article about it.

@@unistrut Yeah, I know it’s not consistent. I said what I think it should be though.

I never got a proper education so i learned about bases one day as a teenager with ruby script i found i had a method for converting strings between bases, after googling wtf a base was i could count in bases 36 or 50
