Camera lens had been broken and cost me 5$. I wouldn`t dare destroying a new one 😅

[@chris2007a]

This it awesome. Would like to see one with all the lenses.

[@NickElectronics]

I tried it with all the lenses inside the lens body, but the light spot spot was too small for a regular room 🙂

[@GamingClubGermany]

Really cool shots! Nice story telling. Would just be nice if you explain a bit more how gray code works and how you process the signals.
But besides that really amazing. dont know how you can only have 1.6k subs

[@NickElectronics]

Hello. Thank you 🙂 I wanted to make video more dynamic, that is why i did not include detailed explanations.
Gray code feature is that only “one bit changes when the slider moves from one position to another”. So from 0 to 1 is “000” to “001”, from 1 to 2 is “001” to “011“. Between two numbers the difference is only 1 bit. Why its better? Because when signal is measured with a microcontroller, slider can be moved at the middle of reading process. Which in case of a binary code leads to a reading mistakes. Cause two bits in adjacent numbers can change simultaneously. With the gray code, even when slider is moved at the middle of the data reading, you either get a previous position or the one the slider was moved to 🧐
Then i just connect contacts of the slider to the pins of the microcontroller. Only 4 pins are needed. After reading those pins (getting 0 or 1) it is just a simple if condition in the code :) For example, if all signals measured are 0000 - first position and first lamp mode.
Hopefully my answer was not too long :)
Have a great day 🌞

@@NickElectronics No worries AS a Software Developer i find this the Most interesting in such Videos. But makes sense abreally beautiful and well designed lamp! I really Like the controls.imagine this with a clicky aperture Ring haha

[@NickElectronics]

@@GamingClubGermany Hehe. Thanks again. If by 'clicky aperture ring' you mean purely mechanical ones that old lenses have, yeah, it would be problematic to read signals withot a signals even existing))

This video was way too good for 300 views in the first day. Bravo

[@NickElectronics]

Hello, thank you very much 😊 I am really
glad you liked it, cause I put a lot of effort in it 🌞 Next ones are going to be the same quality or even better :)

[@serhiipashchenko9150]

Nice view! Waiting for the new episodes! ❤

[@ansetYT]

Man this is really amazing, I can't wait for the new video!

[@Nightspyz1]

if the focus ring only has 16 values how is it infinitely variable?

[@NickElectronics]

In reality, the ring is attached to a mechanisms that adjust the lens optic system for the image to be in focus. So these 16 modes are used for some kind of feedback, I guess. You could watch any review of this lens to see that when the ring is rotated, the lens extends. Unfortunately, I could not show this on the video because the lens was broken when bought it and was not working at all, mechanically and electronically. Hope I have answered your question :)

Like it

[@VEC7ORlt]

Too bad it doesn't produce actual white light...

[@NickElectronics]

Yep. Because of a colorful film filter 🫠 But sunset lamps usually used as a second light, not the main one. So idk if it is a really big problem

[@VEC7ORlt]

@@NickElectronics all the bits are in there already, might as well add the white channel.

[@NickElectronics]

@@VEC7ORlt I should remove the filter (film) to get white color. But without a filter result is much worse. So idk what do you mean by saying "all the bits are in there" 😅

[@VEC7ORlt]

@@NickElectronics you should have added a white channel - all the control bits are there - you've added the micro, made boards.
Alternatively you could have replaced the LED with a RGBW or RGBY, you can do pretty cool stuff with those.

[@NickElectronics]

@@VEC7ORlt White color passing through a color film becomes not white. How should i have turned it into white? Only by placing white diode above the film and adding another PCB.
