Thanks for going into a bit of detail about the issue with the LEDs not fully turning off. I think you might have solved a problem I am having with one of my projects
Very nice project and idea! Taking the three channels for the segments is also smart. As so many LEDs consume very high current, you can think about a 12v version with some LEDs in series. Maybe you run in a little problem with paralleling a hole segment without single pre resistors because not every LED has the same forward voltage and the brightness will vary.
I really like the idea of oversizing the 7segment digit :D I would make a subscriber count with this, i think it would look nice. *goes to the 3D printer*
Hi Electronoobs! Thanks for your well explained videos and very useful contents. I personally find this addressable 7 segment display awesome! After going through I decided to build one for myself using your schematics, however I forgot to use a P-Mosfet, and had JLCPCB assemble 5 boards according to the schematic below (but with N-Mosfets), and it worked but with the LEDs not completely turning off as you previously explained. So I purchased some P-Mosfets(SI2301) and changed one board to P-Mosfets and surprisingly the LEDs instead lighted brighter instead of turning off completely. Please could you help suggest a solution? Thanks in advance :-)
Excellent video. What is the current consumption of one digit with all segments ON? If I double the number of LEDs, can I continue using same MOSFETs or I need more powerful?
@@ELECTRONOOBS if the led is half number?For example i use 3/4 leds for each segment, the circuit is the same or i need to modify other stuff? Thanks in advance! =)
$2 is only PCB price, but "shipping" is at lease 3 times expensive. It would be better if they found cheaper shipping solution. But I think it is impossible because they actually hide a part of price inside "shipping".
Very interesting. Also looked at your v2. I would like to build something with 10 units in a row. Can you post info on how to handle the power supply for this amount of units?
He's is correct. It's not an input - it's a sinking output. Technically it's a current input, but it's still an output to the "device". But...semantics too. He's not completely wrong.
Please make a video on how to make a Standalone ATmega Bootloader Programmer. Standalone in a way that you don't have to connect to a PC in burning bootloaders.
If you've already got some electronics parts but are having trouble knowing how to hook them up to do something interesting, I'd suggest a beginner project book. Amazon has a lot of them, and if you click on the 'look inside' you can get an idea of whether the style of writing is for you or not. I personally recommend the Simon Monk books for someone just starting out, but YMMV.
bcz we sent 2 pack of data, the first one is received by the first driver of the first led, then since the data input of the second driver is actually connected to the data output of the first driver it then receive the second pack of data. and so on if we have 3 led and each led have it own driver we need to send 3 data pack for example (255 255 255) for the first (255 255 255) for the next and so on
I have a bingo board from the 80's with these kind of displays. When it displays a 9 it appears with segments ABCFG. Is there a way it can be reprogrammed so it displays the 9 as ABCDFG each time?
Hi there. Thanks 4 all fantastic videos. I like to make a auto pilot for small boats. 100w 24v motor from kickbike.think you would get a lot of view's if u make a video about one. Get inspired when i se your pid video
It's unfortunate that you didn't allow for a colon (":") separator on the PCB for use in a timer display - you had the unused output of the WS2811... With that, it would have been perfect.
Any possibility of another PCB version that incorporates it? Very easy to adapt the sketch. Are you going to Maker Faire Barcelona next weekend? I'm intending to go one day (not sure which yet) maybe we could meet for coffee/cerveza - there are no other maker where I am so I miss out on opportunities to have my brain stimulated.
@@NETBotic Try reading the datasheet for the WS2811 - the chip provides 3 channels with 18.5mA constant current sinks.... USB and WiFi is easily achieved by driving the displays from an ESP8266, or an ESP32 if you want Bluetooth as well. By "Eco mode", I assume you mean deep sleep. That's a coding issue but could also be done - though at 18.5mA per segment you might not save much.

this spanish guy is the best in the filled right now you are for real a good entertaining youtuber
Every time you talk about patron. My heart always bleed.
One day I will surely be on that list😉
Nice job as always 😍
me too
i really want to support him
Don't worry, thanks for the support!
Beautiful work, dude! Looks awesome! 😃

Really it is most usable project in industry good job bro
This is actually interesting as well as amazing...
it's possibile to manage the duty cicle of the LED in someway?Without managing the power of the led using a doffere that resistors?Thanks in advance!😊
Very nice and warm project. Please can you do video on petrol station 7 segment price display with led pixel?
you gave a very good explanation to this IC, Sir 👌✨
Hi Electronoobs. I am big fan of your videos. I would like to request you please make video series on Lithium-Ion battery & BMS development.

is there an external power supply thats required to drive 2 or more digits? seems like there are way too many LEDs for an arduino IO to handle
Smart idea😮

You can check Adafruit website that it will help you how to make bootloader without pc
Will this work to change a bulb display scoreboard to a LED??? thanks,,,
Hoooo. Another epic video from u
Great 😍
another amazing video thanks!
Always on top friend ❤
Great video
cool project,... how much is the current drawn from 5V?
Good work keep it up
I love electronics but find difficulties building circuits
Whr do I start them from ?
Either arduino or a electronics simulator online i guess
i recommend buying a arduino starter kit with a good documentation

Start with simple electronics such as transistor switch, you can make many different projects.....
are you selling those pcb 7-segment displays?? I could really use one of these for a personal project!
I see a problem about power limit of Arduino 5 volt output you can reach while trying to use more segments.
wonderful application thank you..:)
I have a question maybe stupid but at 5m40s how the second led "know" that it had to turn on?
bcz we sent 2 pack of data, the first one is received by the first driver of the first led, then since the data input of the second driver is actually connected to the data output of the first driver it then receive the second pack of data. and so on if we have 3 led and each led have it own driver we need to send 3 data pack for example (255 255 255) for the first (255 255 255) for the next and so on

Are files Gerber correct ?
Excellent
Hi, what program do you use to make the PCBs and how do you put images in them?
Can you make a digital clock using this 7 segment display
can anyone explain what he did with the mosfet?
i completely lost him from there .
Great Idea.
Is it possible to reduce the brightness of each module?
Brilliant.. 👏
please collect based on the 7 segment project of the watch on Arduino or esp

Perfect would be using a constant current driver ; ) Oh and it needs USB and WiFi and Eco mode.
@@NETBotic Try reading the datasheet for the WS2811 - the chip provides 3 channels with 18.5mA constant current sinks....
USB and WiFi is easily achieved by driving the displays from an ESP8266, or an ESP32 if you want Bluetooth as well.
By "Eco mode", I assume you mean deep sleep. That's a coding issue but could also be done - though at 18.5mA per segment you might not save much.
@@duncanx99 So you think he is driving each segment with 18.5mA? Also, whoosh on the other items :)
You should put the boards on Tindie!!
It would make a good giant clock. Unfortunately, my coding skills are not up to it though.
Another error on your pcb: it says electronoons.com instead of electronoobs.com (same for .io)
nice !
How to make 3 digit?
keep going
Now make it with smd leds the board should be smaller :)
Huh didn't know that the WS2811 existed in a SOP8 package
Thx
that's an interesting bannana
Great
