For all of those who have been requesting it, I just uploaded the wiring diagram to GitLab!
can we use esp32 for it too ik we can but howw you know what im asking right ??
Could something similar to this work with a RPI Pico W?
I miss physical buttons and controls. Everything is going touchscreen but there's something to be said for tactile feedback. Very cool to see this.
Same here, actually clicking a button feels good in a way that is almost impossible to replicate on a touch screen!
the worst part is someone that may sweat a lot, often can't use touchscreens well.
especially in cars ^^
That's why I bought an old Blackberry 9900, and a Walkman!
And clicking button works always unlike touch screens which fails at times
This is insanely well done, you need way more subscribers dude
Thanks for the confidence boost 🥹
The project yes is impressive indeed, but I find it a bit disturbing that you are reading everything from somewhere below the camera and that the explanations were way too brief.
@@codyrap95I completely disagree. @makeit4less clearly has lots of knowledge about these things; more impressive than that, however, is his knowledge of the average TH-cam content consumer. People generally have short attention spans and don’t care too much about the specifics. They just want to see cool stuff. This guy did exactly that
I absolutely love this, tactile feedback is so important.
With that said, the whole idea of this is somewhat ironic. We've spent the better part of the past half-century getting rid of 'dedicated' devices like the camcorder, walkman, newspaper, etc... by combining them into the smartphone. The smartphone was supposed to be the "all in one" device to make everything convenient for you. Now, we're back to "now you can like, skip, and pause songs without having to take your phone out of your pocket!".
The idea of having *everything* in one place sure does sound nice, but when everything is the same, it's hard to find stuff. Everything is doing everything it can to grab your attention, it all fades into a busy mess. Muscle memory and tactile feedback are important. Smartphones seem to ignore this. There's something inherently satisfying about a physical button press bringing you back to a familiar spot. Gesture based navigation and software navigation buttons need to go away.
I had not really thought about that when making the device but you are absolutely right! I think I might build that idea out into a series of videos!
i like to think of phones like a swiss army knife, sure it can do all those things if you need it to but its jsut about the worst way if you had another option, like phone cameras they are great to always have around but they will never be the same as a dedicated camera, my favorite part is how teachers used to tell us that we wont be walking around with calculators all the time.....but now we do lmao
You have no idea how long I have been looking for something like this. I had opted for the open source project Deej to solve the volume aspect for Spotify but this was my final goal. Well done!
Glad I could help!
This was nice. I've taken some hardware-level classes at school and I think I like the tinker aspect a lot more than the software side. It's kinda hard to just get up and running though, so your video helped out a lot thanks!
I'm glad I could help!
The video was suggested to me randomly. I liked it very much! Funny, informative, short and sweet :) Subscribed and looking forward to more, keep up the good work!
Que increible el humor y la claridad con la que explicas en tus videos, me gusto mucho
great video!
No short, funny, and packed with information
there should be more creators like you
Wow, thank you so much! I really appreciate the encouragement!
you're a fantastic communicator! witty, funny and entertaining! you have a gift for explaining seemingly complex ideas!!
Thought of this in undergrad but back then dev support from spotify was almost none. Wonderful demo! Will be using your source for my own build!
Great video!!
I made a similar project is c# and I was stuck on the login code for weeks. You made it look like a breeze AND you made it without any external libraries. You are amazing!!
I edited out a LOT of work to get that to do what I needed it too 😝
He didnt make it without external libraries and doesnt tell u the exact ones that u need so good luck getting it to work for urself if u were considering that
Very interesting device ! For those of us who are beginners with arduino, could you provide the wiring details ? Would be much appreciated !
This is incredible how I know this took forever and was challenging and you still decided to give it away for free. Thanks so much!!
Glad it was helpful!
I was actually looking for something like this for ages.
Thank you so much for this.
What a nice project ! Your humor is unparalleled, keep making such great videos :)
I saw your other videos and this seems to be the first video that had a lot of success. From an entrepreneur perspective, congrats! Great work
Amazing, man! Great job! Really impressed, from the tech part to the video part
I was wondering if you could put a photo on how everything is connected to the perf board? Really nicely made video btw!
Super creative application of an ESP82! Loved the video dude
This going to help a lot, since my Car Thing will be bricked on December 9th. Thank you for this video!
I was actually searching for a device that is not a phone or similar, that would play spotify, but they're so expensive. This is perfect!
Fantastic video, and great execution. I look forward to more videos!
Dude this is amazing! Definitely need to try making this soon. Keep up the awesome work, can't wait for more vids like this!
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
made everything really easily heard and said and understoood keep it up man!
i'm so lucky to find this video in my recommendations. thank you for the tutorial, as i have successfully recreated (most of) it, though there are some parts that i need to do without instructions
That's amazing. A lot of people here are trying to figure out the wiring and the pins. Can you help with that? A picture of your device would already help tremendously. ❤
Amazing project, AND even the comedy in this video was surprisingly hilarious compared to most small-ish channel projects. Keep it up and you'll be the next michael reeves
Incredible concise and informative video! I can relate to the head-bashing part as an R&D scientist. The best way I've had it explained to me is that you're bashing your head against a concrete wall, and you know it won't break, but eventually one time you shatter the wall.
For beginner's watching this...this is breadboardable using a variant of the microcontroller and oled with header pins already soldered on.
I really enjoyed this video man. I have 0 clue how it showed up to me but damn am I glad. Definitely will be watching more! Good luck on your future videos, I’ll be tuning in!
Thank you! I'm glad it found its way to you!
This looks cool, keep making stuff like this!
That's my plan!
Very cool project. Thanks for sharing. Gonna attempt building my own.
Awesome, I hope you get it working!!
Great project!! I hope it was fun, and thanks for sharing!!
This was such a dope video man. Keep it up!
Very cool idea and great vid. Keep it up brother!
This is a super cool little project! Thanks for sharing :)
Needed to make a good Christmas gift. This is perfect!
hahaha I love this video and your sense of humour, subbed! and I will probz make this :3
Great video, fast to the point and entertaining. Looking forward to future content from you.
More to come! Thank you for watching!
Dude awesome video! Can't wait to build mine!
Ive always wanted to make this, thankyou for putting it out into the world!
You are welcome! Thanks for watching!
this video is hilarious! Gonna watch some more of your videos. Keep it up!
Love this, subscribed and looking forward to seeing more of your content 👍🏼
Thanks for the sub!
i subbed just bc, i love this idea, and, its simple, and, gg on the coding!
I don't have Spotify but you have a new sub anyhow. Your delivery is the type of content I can digest easily.
Getting and putting together something like this is wayyyy cooler than getting a Sonos or something else that makes the experience easier for example. Idk if its the bashing my head up against the wall or the feeling of accomplishment but I quite enjoy doing diy projects for tech stuff. Thanks for sharing I might try this out!
Your content is very high quality: Entertaining, interesting and I learned some things too. You definitely deserve more folllowers, but I'm pretty sure those will come. I do think it could be an idea to have an accompanying video that dives into the code a bit. Ofc I can just look at the source code, but since this also seems like a doable project for a beginner, they might appreciate getting to know the code a bit which could allow them to customize the project to their liking or even extend it.
I hope to make more code specific videos to go along with the main video in the future for sure! At the moment however I barely have time to make the main video unfortunately
Great video, thanks for making!
Your welcome! Thanks for watching!
Thank you Very much. For this project. I will definitely build 1. Thank you once again 🙂
I'm glad you liked it!!
Actually looks super technical, makes for a cool showpiece when people interact with your stereo at a party.
Dude, you're very funny and entertaining, great video
yo i actually needed this for my bike, this is goodo
Damnn! I’m not sure how proud you and you’re people are for your work, but I’m pretty proud of you and I believe people like you would be the inspiration for a million kids of the coming generations
This is a really cool project dude keep it up
Well done man!! 👏
When I did a similar thing I used an old arduino and a rotary encoder with button function to control Spotify as a keyboard. But this is a smooth way with the api.
I'm surprised that your head is so smooth with all that troubleshooting (and bashing it)! Also, I'm glad you hear the same voice that requires our explanation for everything. It's nice to feel wanted..
u got me with the api joke. subbed.
Really love your vibe man keep it up 👌🏻
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO! I've been searching for a way to do something like this but a little different. I have an old car and I managed to integrate bluetooth while keeping the original stereo. I have an idea to make a display that is inside a cassette tape case that shows the album cover on an e-ink display and I can probably use 90% of your code! Thanks!
This is pretty awesome! I am trying to come up with a handlebar mount version of something like this, but no screen. I just want something very thin with 4 buttons for vol up, vol down, next, and back. I am going to look into these parts, thanks!
oh my god i've been thinking of making something like this for years-- I never had any experience with API so thank you for doing it for me hahahaa
Such an amazing video! Instant sub!
Omg! I love your videos and shorts! Thank you for the sub!!
desperately needed this
I gave a sub because this is some quality stuff. keep it up man
Sick I will do this as well.. thanks for the input and code provided.. now I don’t even have an excuse 😄
Cool project. Definitely a neat idea for those of us who are hoping to have less, not more microphones around the house.
Man your a genius. Thk for share this in this funny way.
Thank you for the compliment!
Script was great and the jokes landed really well. There was a couple shots out of focus but an overall solid video you're going to do great man keep posting!
Thank you so much! I will definitely be checking the focus on my next video more closely!
Man you making sooo friking good vids can’t understand how you got only 5k subs Foreal keep it up king❤️
awesome! very informative and you made it fun to learn about :)
Thank you, that was my goal
This is part of the reason I love my AirPods. Having the ability to interact without my phone and getting tactile response is super satisfying
Perfect, a new niche channel that has incredible potential and will boost my ego when I see that it blows up in 2 years because I knew of it when it was at 1.5 k subs.
Bro, this is awesome! Awesome project and great presentation. Instant sub.👍
Awesome, thank you!
Cool project, would love to see touchup on the code section, how to put things together and some projects for 3D printer to make case for it. Overally excellent job!
Thank you for the feedback! I will take it under consideration!
Just getting into coding since couple months and I’m curious to see a summary. It shows to beginners like me what’s possible :)
this is amazing! great job! :)
Thank you 🥳
Nice video, and good project!
Thanks! Glad you liked it, it was a lot of fun to make!
What an awesome project! I'm totally gonna make this and I think I'm gonna model a little 3d printed box for it. Thank you!
Awesome, I'm glad I could help!
Could you share your 3d model housing?
Amazing! That was my plan as well 😂
@@jacobnussbaum2309 I've been pretty busy lately, but if and when I do model it, I'll be glad to share it!
@natec1 were you able to build the project itself? I am stuck on how to wire it together and would love an idea!
Thanks, what a good project. Keep follow you. My list is added with your components.
Thank you!
did i just learned how to use a potentiometer on a diy youtube video? great video
Instant sub! Looking forward to the next video 😁
Awesome! Thank you!
I really loved this, more please!
This is awesome. I will try to recreate this for my grandma. A wiring diagram would be amazing. Thanks.
I just updated the GitLab page with a wiring diagram
@@makeit4less Thank you. I can see that you also updated the instructions. This will be very helpful.
Amazing! Thanks!
Thank you!
I loved this project! Added it to the "Things I like to built, but I'm sure I never will " list!
I have a lot of projects to do as well need to buy a lot of tools and supplies
Cool project - very similar to the Shopify API from Brian Lough.
I'd recommend you update the potentiometer to a rotary encoder so you're not starting at 100% volume when you turn the dial? The encoder could adjust up or down based on any previous value.
Keep up the great work!
That's a good idea, maybe V2!
@@makeit4less V2! V2! V2!
Disagree. I'd rather have a potentiometer since I can look at the position of the knob and know exactly where I am at with my volume setting. Rotary encoders are great for many things but volume knobs are not one of those.
@BryceCassagneres what happens when the knob is at 99% travel and your volume on Spotify is at 1% volume? Pots are ideal for amps, speakers, etc, but this one is adjusting an unknown volume number and adjusting it by a set amount. If I change the volume on Spotify with my phone, the pot is left at the same position, regardless of the volume change. For a system that can have multiple controller inputs, you need a dial that does not have set values or min/max travel.
I'd have a pot on an AMP or a set of speakers over a rotary encoder - definitely!
@@ChunkySteveo I guess I don’t fully understand how he has the code written and the api works, so I can’t answer your question.
Reminds me of using my ipaq to control Windows media player back in the day.. (a very long time ago) but well done, it's a gr8 video chap!
I vaguely remember downloading something as a kid to make windows media player look like a Batman gadget 🤣 I'm glad you liked the video!
Very cool project 👍 thanks for sharing. Subbed
Thank you 🥳
Awesome! Keep it going. 😃
Thank you!
This looks very nice. I think I might give it a go with an OLED panel and click-wheel style rotary encoder for a few bucks more
Another great video! I'd love if you just briefly touched on the code. I know you linked the github, but I think it's at least worth a brief summary.
Keep it up. I love this kind of content.
Thank you for the feedback! I will keep that in mind for my next video!
Made it simple :D loved your presentation
Thank you!
This is fantastic mate, keep it up pls.
That's the plan!
Very cool!
I love how helpful these comments are. And positive. This dude has something here.
Thank you! I hope you are right!
An amazing idea!
Glad you think so!
You really revolutionize it man, hopefully you could improve it for better experience
I love stuff like this I want to get into boards and how to build them myself
Great Video, you seem very professional
I appreciate that!
I'm just now picking up raspberry pi and Arduino projects so this seems like a really cool thing to do. Awesome job on the video, consider yourself subscribed to!
Awesome, thanks for the sub!
