When I watched the soldering process I thought one must be insane to do this. Now I want to build my own! An accelerometer would be a nice add-on I think ...

Dude.. This is next level dedication! 👍😍 You could also put an IMU (accelerometer, gyroscope, compass) in it, so it reacts to rotation or acceleration! 😱
If you set LED rotated (like diamonds) it makes it easier to solder the ground and 5v rails without risk of shorting to the data pins. The finished item is very cool though.
In local vernacular, “Holy Cow”. Nice done. This undertaking is beyond compare. Wonderful result. Infinite possibilities for holiday decorations. Thank you for sharing.
The LED are real simple, you don't need a schematic. the positive and negative power rails are all parallel and the data lines are series as it uses PWM to control the LEDs. The important thing to have are the 3D printer files for the wire bender and the hemisphere to hold the LEDs in place.
@@MekazaBitrusty Yes the code would be quite useful but you can come up with your own designs and re-purpose the Adafruit code found here: learn.adafruit.com/rgb-led-strips/usage. I know I would do some defines for longitude and latitude lines to make things easier.
I am working on a fully functional Guy Manuel mask (the gold Daft Punk) and I had no idea how I was going to do the front array of LEDs, but your technique that you used here will be perfect! Thanks!!
I hope you don't think I'm being a smart ass, Jiri, but I could've told you that by using dozens of these square LEDs, you should've been testing a row (ring) of these as you went. I, too, have played extensively with LEDs as I share the same passion with these incredibly devices. But I found that it's best to build slowly, layer by layer which makes it far easier to troubleshoot in cases of shorts or cold joints as you made mention of. You are quite a character, sir. I like that you were genuine & honest about how fatigued (and no doubt bug-eyed) you were soldering this monstrosity together. I loved how excited you were when 9:40 you had that "IT'S ALIVE!" moment. I have soldered these tiny COB lights onto flat aluminum star-shaped heat sinks - and those feet are so damn tiny - I need a huge magnifying lamp and working with tweezers to assemble them. I can only solder 10x before I must rest my hands & eyes. I don't know how you could do 50 of these like that. You're a soldering machine! Congrats again on your ingenious device, Jiri. SUGGESTION: Since you're so adept with electronics, I was going to suggest you insert a driver gear in the open end of your LED Ball and attach this to a stand with a driveshaft and slowly turning motor unit. That way, your sphere could rotate as the lights dance to the patterns. Combining these two elements would be mind boggling!
Very nice project. Congratz on the awesome result! What i learned from this is to make a little testrig with spring contacts to pretest every LED before soldering it in, and use ESD protection at your workplace to minimize the risk of zapping any LEDs dead at assembly...

You read my mind; having a series of programs that respond to 3D alignment, acceleration and velocity, would add even more layers of spectacular!
Yeah that's what I wos thinking
I sware. my first was similar.
gyroscope or accelerometer. 😊
Use a Nano33 BLE or something

Очень красивый шарик!
Очень аккуратно спаял!
Молодец!
Да просто о%уенный глобус!
Ничего прекраснее. Красивее. Великолепнее. Раслобляющего. Прекрасного! Восхитительного не видел!
I loved this video.
I cannot imagine how tedious that must have been to put together but what a fantastic job in the end.

Was just about to suggest the same idea...
@@Duraltia I was about to think about the idea... ;) hehe
man... i already printed Jiri's jig... Good suggestion though..
That’s a great idea, though I think it wouldn’t look as nice as you would have more gaps and less LEDs.
Watched this video so many times and it never gets boring , brilliant work
Was looking for some led lights ideas and came across this page. This is a awesome project, it made me forget what I was looking for.
Excellent work dude 👍
I really salute to your patience and artistic hand.
Thank you so much for sharing this video.
Awesome project and good job! I love the led holder idea!!

Классно! Очень понравилось! Спасибо за подробное видео.
And now you have only 29 to go for your christmas tree 😁👍 Nice project !
It really isn't fair that we can only click the "like" button once - beautiful - so elegant!
I am sitting here and I am totally amazed. WOW! Really good job!
Eres un genio, saludos desde Perú!
that is maaad
hard work and patience at some other level
I’m so glad to see that this got so many views. You obviously spent a lot of time on it so I hope it payed off!
Thank you! I am really glad and surprised, too!
... GENIUS with tons of patience .... wonderful job Master ... thank you for sharing and educating us
Awwwwsome...Congratulations!!!
One of the best light spheres ever see...
Very nice job! Looks so cool!
Next project: LED Sphere soldering machine 🙃
Can you share the schematic and those programs you have used?

and the code? 😊

If the 3D CAD file available for that sphere shape?please share link...
Thats it, we can all give up now. utterly amazing
Need 10 of these on my Xmas tree asap.........
hahahaha
Spectacular! Really a soldering master piece. Thank you.
Just priceless. Well done and thanks for sharing.
Ur work is very neat as mine so precise luv to see such well organised work after a long time
This is so cool!
I just finished building this following this guide and boy video doesn't do it justice
This is a HUGE achievement!! Well done.

Jiří, this is absolutely MENTAL. Well done.
That is a thing of beauty, well done. I'm very impressed. You've earned another subscriber for that feat.

Amazing!! Love you wire art!
Came here for incredible craftsmanship, stayed for the improvised fashion scarf statement and beats. :D
beautiful work of art I will make a bigger one thank you for everything
Beautiful project! Tks for sharing.... you got a lot patient bro.!
Full respect, I now know what im gone do for next couple of weeks :)
Keep them coming and thanks for sharing.
Very nice soldering challenge and great result for a lot of work!
Фантастичное исполнение,креативная идея!Лайк,респект!
Absolutely awesome, great idea and very good result!
Mate, this job is impresive!
The end result is hypnotising, I love it! Amazing work 👏 would be amazing to use something like this for like a glowing orb in a costume
I only have one thing to say.... wow!!! Amazing!
Sehr gut gemacht. Unheimlich viel Arbeit und ein sehr schönes Ergebnis. Respekt
Your are ameizing
Now use an Esp and build like 30 of them to hang them on a Christmas Tree.
The BoM already indicates that it has an ESP inside.
I just said that
That is a thing of beauty my friend, thanks for sharing.
This is really insane, and an engineering masterpiece
Amazing! Have you considered creating a 3d printing cover to protect and diffuse the lights?
how can anybody dislike this video??? thats some next level dedication. this is amazing :)
Great video and fun to Watch! Keep up the good work. You could add accelerometer and gyro to make it interactive !
I will, thank you!
I can watch this all day long ... great job man .. awesome
This is engineering of another level. Great job, buddy!
Wow amazing.. These need to be made for jugglers. Somehow where they cab hit the ground and still start lit or even bounce.. Great job!
I admire your commitment to this project. Great work, looks very clean!

madness x2 = Industrial Art! This definitely qualifies
WOW great craftmanship here. hope to see a bigger one for disco.
Great craftmanship, you sure earned a subscriber!
Very beautiful project
Pure genius! I commend you for your creativity!!!!
Congratulations!!! Very good job!! Brilliant!!
Супер!!! Excellent! These are hands from shoulders !!!
बहुत अच्छा है ।खूबसूरत बना है भैया जी ।
Very,very nice... your patience paid...
Have nice hollyday!
Now I want those for my Christmas Tree next year.
Ty jo ty máš opravdu rád ten jedno žilnej mosaznej drát, good job nervy bych na to neměl.
That is the coolest prj I've ever seen... well done
Watching while soldering LEDs on my lighted Christmas tree topper!
i wouldn't have the patience for this lol Glad you did.
It is not patented, Don't worry. you can do it.
@@raizrazer That was a autocorrect typo on my part, What I mean was I don't have is the patience to do something like that lol
Wow, after all this hard work, you really need to be happy. Congratulations.
You are an artist! Brilliant!
*_BRILLIANT!_*
Impresive!! So satisfaying and beautiful!! It's going in my todo list!!
Вот это я понимаю, руки из плеч, респект и уважуха!!!
This is so cool. We'll be featuring this on The Awesomer today.
Even your videos are a work of art. Came here from Hackaday to give a thumbs up.
I dont know much abt electronics but im electrified😍😍
This is absolutely Amazing! I need one for my e-scooter Safety visibility at night 🤩
Well done! What an amazing bit of technology and art!
Hello Jiri. Can you please share 3d model of half sphere for 3d printing? I would like to repeat your project.
Yes would be nice if you share the 3d model to print :)
i'm interested to :) would be very nice if you share the 3D model and maybe the fusion360 file.
you can find all the files on the project website: www.instructables.com/id/Christmas-LED-Sphere/ :)
Amazing ... Appreciate your skills/ hard work
Sweet! super well done! I feel like your talent outshines your subscriber count!
Fancy meeting you here.
Getting any good ideas?
@@pileofstuff always! Love finding new small YTers
Wah bagus nih, bisa dijadikan referensi proyek elektronika selanjutnya di Channel saya
It's Beautiful!!!👍👍👍
Получилось очень красиво) подумываю повторить)
This is great. You should try printing a 1mm solid shell out of transparent filament to act as diffusion.
Absolutely beautiful, incredible work.
Very very very good job, nice result ❤👍
