Smart table - interactive LED table - near disaster!

- I’d seen these LED tables made here on TH-cam and fancied trying to make one myself. Limited info required some reverse engineering and research which almost ended up in an expensive mistake. Luckily persistence paid off and I have a “smart table”….. what ever that is!

only a 120 views ? nah this for sure is gonna blow up! This is such great craftsmanship ! Good job :)
Thanks for your kind words. After the first lot of electrics failed I was tempted to blow it up!

There you go… well over 3k views now! Can’t believe so many have watched it!
Incredible. This turned out amazing
Thank you Daniel 👍🏻. There was a point just before I was sent the modified PCBs I thought all was lost!
Very awesome build man! Greetings from Mexico.
Thanks for your comment. Much appreciated!
Incredible a beautiful job well done 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Many thanks. It turned into a labour of love. At one point I thought it was doomed!
Great video mate and perfect timing as I am in the process of making my own table like this. After watching your video I am concerned as I have already purchased square shape PCB's that look identical to the ones that didn't work for you. I guess I'd better do lots of testing before fitting them to the table!
There are a lot of variables that can make things work… or not. The square ones (made by moreboons) did not work for me, but I did see videos of tables working with them. Where did you get yours? Are they identical?
@@120woodcraft I bought mine off Ali Express... I have just done another comparison to your video and while mine are very similar, they actually are not identical. Hopefully they work. either way I will be doing some testing.
@@sheldonives certainly having them in groups of 10-15 helped me somewhat rather than all in series.
I've promised myself I am going to make one of these. This is by far the best and most informative video I have seen on the subject. Subscribed! I am keener than ever now. The MDF base for the machining process was a really good idea. How much epoxy did you use for this build and how much of the mica pigment powder did you use for that volume to achieve the required opacity please? Great job. Great video. Many thanks.
I used about 3 litres of resin in total…. Some of that leaked though! As for the pigment, that was very unscientific. I just kept adding until I got what I thought looked right. Shone my phone torch through to check the opacity. To be honest I could have added more. I really wanted to only see a glow of each unit when activated, but you can definitely see the individual light of each led. But you don’t need much of that powder pigment - a random guess is 3g. Hardly made a dent in the pot I bought. Go for it…. Make one. I enjoyed it overall- even the problem solving!
Lovely craftsmanship, enjoyed the video. I just don't know why people would want a table that glows when you stroke it 😂
Also how does a proximity sensor work through the wood?
I think it’s actually an induction sensor….. wouldn’t bet my life on it though 😂
wonderful
Glad you think so!
love the buld, would love to build my own. just wondering where you purchesed the LED parts.
Thanks for your comment - The parts were purchased from China. Took 2-3 weeks to arrive. www.moreboons.com/products/touch-sensitive-smart-table-module
Do you have any information about the redesigned boards, and leds? I feel like splitting up the power supply was the best option. High current loads near capacitive sensors sounds like a troubleshooting nightmare.
I’m no electronics expert but my testing found that having 80+ sensors in series caused issues. I divided them up into 4 groups and all worked fine. I’d say 20 sensors in a group is close to the max. Here is the link to the sensors.

Looks great, you got a link to all the parts? They wernt in the description.
Sorry about that. Forgot to put it in. Just choose the number of modules. Took about 2-3 weeks to arrive from china. www.moreboons.com/products/touch-sensitive-smart-table-module
wow, wow, wow, wow
Really glad you liked it. Was a lot of hard work but turned out well in the end. 👍🏻
It looked hard work, but damn was it worth it!
thank you for creating

Great video! Loved your humor and I could feel your pain aswell. This will be my guid for my future table.
How did the connections look like afterwards? Do you have and, is it possible to see a pic of that?
Much love from Sweden.
Thanks for the reply and comments. You can see the new connections in the video but if you want a high resolution photo of the wiring I can provide…. Not sure how on TH-cam? Email?
Hmm. Did my post with my email go MIA?
@@leelindeman387 didn’t see it. Does TH-cam allow email addresses or does it auto delete?
@@120woodcraft damn YT. Tooked away my other comment and my other take with my email. Not giving up on this now 😄
@@120woodcraft followed you on IG. I'll write from there 😊
May I have your link to the sensor used in this video?
This is the modified sensor. Just choose the number you want. www.moreboons.com/products/touch-sensitive-smart-table-module
what happens when ya put a cup of coffee on it 🤔
other then that 😮 really awesome✨🤩
It lights up under the cup and stays on till you take it off. I should have done that in the video! Thanks for your comment 👍🏻
Where are the links you said you’d add?
I forgot to add in the description but have added several times in the comments when asked… www.moreboons.com/products/touch-sensitive-smart-table-module
From your video: “and I’ll include these in the links below so you can see exactly what was bought and where it was bought”.
I seen the link you’re proving in the comment section. It’s for the pcb you used. Your wording in the video led me to believe that you were going to share links to the components you used. Thanks anyway I guess.
@@MostlyPosative-nj5ex I’m lucky you’re here as a proof watcher! I must try harder next time 😉
@@MostlyPosative-nj5ex I’ve now updated the description.
led code ?
Not sure what you mean? Care to elaborate and I’ll try and help out.
What is the model of LEDs?@@120woodcraft
@@O1firavun no model as such…. Bought from a chap called “moreboons” - just google that.
