This is great!
A couple of suggestions:
1. You can bend the acrylic sheets to get them closer to each other. That would probably increase the viewing angle a little bit.
2. Add reflective paint/foil to the edges to get more light.
3. Add film/dark acrylic to the front to hide panels that are not lit up.
Thank you for all your suggestions, this is great. I will try to incorporate some of those in my next iteration.
I’ve watched a lot of youtube maker videos over the years, and very rarely do you find one that goes into as much detail as this but still feel balanced. This video shows the inner workings of each part of the problem solving process but doesn’t go on for too long. Perfectly explained and very educational in my opinion. Cool project! I’ll give it a go. Thank you.
Thank you for your nice words and you support, it´s highly appreciated! Good luck with your project if you try it, and please feel free to share your creation. Thank you again!
as a trans parent, i can confirm i am an edge-lit display
I see. That was a poor choice of hyphenation.
This simple display is truly stunning. Your explanations are clear and engaging (as always). Fantastic video!
Thank your for your nice words, I´m glad you like it!
That was amazing. If you need to etch more in the future, you may want to put a "lip" or raised edge on the 3D printed masks. Then the acrylic could sit inside it, locked in place. Less chance of shifting while etching. You could also get a cheap sand blasting tool and use TPU for the mask. That would probably be the fastest way to etch without a laser.
I've been wanting to create something with neopixels, but feel like a lot of the "programing" and electronics stuff is not something I really understand. This video is making me want to go for it.
Thank you for sharing this with us!
Thank you! There is a "lip," but maybe not be very visible. Sandblasting would be cheaper but much messier. I will probably buy the laser in the (near) future anyway. That´s the last thing that´s remaining in my workshop. Good luck with your project!
Dude, not only are your videos fire (And an autism trap), but your voice is amazing. I'm really looking forward to more stuff from you (& Posy).
Real
Thank you for your nice words, but can you please explain what “autism trap” means?
@@upir_upir they mean that people with autism love getting hyperfixated on stuff like this! once you start watching these videos you can't stop! ❤
@@upir_upir , skmgeek replied to that question and that pretty much sums it up.
@@upir_upir Also, I am waiting for you to get into RF circuits (If ever).
Another great video. Keep doing it🎉
Thank you, I’m glad you like it!
I had similar idea but hadn't been able to make one yet. I'll have to look up those small Neopixles you mentioned and get a board made. Cool to see that it looks pretty cool. I have a Maker space nearby that I'll be able to use their laser cutter.
I also plan to get a custom PCB with those tiny neopixels, that should hopefully make the spacing smaller for a better appearance. I´m still undecided about whether to buy a CO2 laser or a small CNC...
wow, I love this! Really easy and simple way to create a cool effect. Great video! :D
Thank you, I´m glad you like it!
Skvělá práce, perfektní zpracování a vysvětlení, srozumitelnost a hodně slušná angličtina :) Díky!
Díky! Takže už jen stačí, abych zapracoval na přízvuku a bude to :)
@@upir_upir vůbec to neřeš, mluvíš dobře a srozumitelně. Každý rodilý mluvčí je zvyklý, že cely svět mluví s přízvukem :) Ale mně to taky trvalo se s tím smířit 😅
Wow wow wow... it's AMAZING DISPLAY!!!!!
thank you verrryyy much ♥, this display must be with editable designe 🤩
Thank you, I´m glad you like it!
coOL...Upir did it again....one day I would like to simulate a neon tube in such a similar solid state manner.
Thank you, and good luck with your project!
I think you could improve the display angle by reducing the distance between the panes. You might even get away with using the same LED matrix by having multiple panes on top of the same row of LEDs and cutting notches or painting sections of the bottom so only a specific set of LEDs light up each pane
Thank you for your suggestions; yes, getting the panels closer to each other would probably be the best improvement. If I have time, I might create a custom PCB with those very small neopixels.
This is hella cool, cyberpunk nixie tubes
Thank you, I´m glad you like it!
Good job Guy ;oP
Very good idea :oP
Thank you, I’m glad you like it!
Great video :)
Maybe a 3d printed piece on top could help keep the acrylic pieces at the same distance between each other.
Thank you. Yes, I’m sure that would help. And also making the base slightly taller.
🔥🔥🔥
Thank you!
Thanks
Thank you for your support!
I wonder if all segments could be engraved in a single piece of acrylic and lit up by bouncing laser diode light in a specific way. Central segment could be a little bit challenging but outside ones should be doable.
Probably not. You would need to physically separate those parts, otherwise, it will be hard to only light up one segment. But separating the parts should be possible, just not without proper tools..
Idea: what if you used photo electric glass that darkens and had a single backlight
Thank you for your suggestion, yes, I would like to experiment with those a little bit more, but since they require high voltage, it´s something I need to learn first.
6:38 Keep in mind that when you try to detect the current gear with the IMU on the gearshifter, you will not only measure the tilt of the gearshifter, but also the tilt of the whole car, in addition to any forced generated by driving.
To cancel this out, you could mount a second IMU to the car, and calculate the difference, but at that point, your hall effect sensors might me simpler. And a lot more accurate. 😅
Yep, that’s exactly the plan, but thank you for pointing this out! I will try to explore all the options, including getting the gear indicator from OBDII…
What no way😮
You like it?
Great shout out to @FranLab !
I’m sure many of my viewers already know that channel, but it’s worth mentioning, there are tons of cool and unusual displays.
Bello
Thanks!
This is prolly obviously but why can't you get the acrylics closer together...
They need to line up with the LEDs. I guess you could get thicker sheets of acrylic.
You can get smaller Neo pixels and create your own -smaller- pcb. I might try that.
I was thinking to bend it using heat... regardless this seems like a great starting project but I might cop the materials
I was wondering why you weren't using a 3d printed rig to help draw the segments. Then voila... you did.
Yep! That saved me a lot of time.
Fala Rodrigo blz? Top com sempre te acompanhar! Com relação ao container, fala com o letraJota, ja sabe td oq pode ou nao dar certo nesses projetos
What? I´m sorry but the translator is not helping much here.
Hello, can the dolphin animation used in Pioneer car audio systems be designed with OLED and Arduino?
Is there a link to such animation?
Yes is there th-cam.com/video/Ei7zqMWj3Aw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=JiFLVHugu2cdXEKw

hey, can you make a tutorial about ds3231 rtc, ssd1309 display and arduino using u8g2 library?
I have used ds3231 and ssd1309 in two separate tutorials already. Do you have any problems getting them to work together?
@@upir_upir for some reasons i cannot make temperature to show, just question mark and i dont know why. but the date and time shows correctly.
Can't you just cut out the acrylic area you don't use on each section and have less problems on not in line reading?
Maybe, but you need to separate those somehow. Probably easy task with laser cutter or cnc router, but very hard without those specialized tools.
Am I going crazy or can it only display 0 to six ? don't you need 0 to 9 ? anyhow the template for the digits a great idea you could try out all sorts of stuff like fiberglass pencil or wire brush maybe a scouring pad (Brillo Pad ! ) perhaps just sandpaper......cheers.
It´s a standard 7 segment display design, you can display any digit from 0-9 for sure. I haven´t heard of fiberglass pencil but I will take a look. Thank you for your suggestion!
@@upir_upir :)
Does this mean I can finally make the PDA from subnautica!?
Not yet :) But you can get close.
5x9 not 5x7
what the hell are you tlaking about??
This one is 5x7cm, but you can get many different sizes on AliExpress that should suit your needs.
Thanks!
Did you get my email?
Yes. I will answer soon. Sorry for the delay.
MODERN DAY NIXIE TUBE
Modern day version of a 1960s edge lit display, as explained in the video. Modern day Nixies are still gas discharge devices.
I have also seen the name "LIXIE" for those kind of displays.
If you polish the edges of the acrylic sheet with a blowtorch the dispersion of light will be much more uniform, your video is a great tutorial 👍

Thank you for your suggestion, I will try that in the next iteration!
i am first
Congratulations
