It's so weird hearing Michael being nice to us
Edit: rip my notifications for the past year
That was also my first thought
Cybli indeed
ikr
Yea
It`s like I'm in a dream
"Don't shine this in anyone's eyes, I don't know why I'm telling you this"
Well you did make a machine with the only purpose being finding an eye and shining a laser in it
ya it's why he made this vid lol
Make sure to keep your laser plugged in while hot gluing the wires
Skeletonpope
Glad I’m not the only one who noticed that
Kept thinking dude was gonna electrocute himself
ModernTree But it's 5 volts, you can lick the wires and it'll just tingle
Waifus Choice Alright, I just did it and nothing happened
I was waiting for it but honestly 5v not that much, I once touch by mistake an electrical cord wire exposed 110 that hit like a horse but just for a second or two, and I've been electrocuted by 220 twice that one really hurts but as long as is not with you hand around the exposed area (hands tend to cramp and hold onto it) your guccy.
Yo true idk how he didnt die
2017 Michael: “ha you think I have money?”
2020 Michael: *legitimately considers spending $100,000 on a robot dog because it’d be funny to make it pee beer
Update: offline tv bought one 😩
25 barrels of crude oil ??
@@kn-pw5ln no it is something to dumb into the ocean
update: he bought it and it now pees beer
2021 Michael: actually does it
"I am very poor"
owns soup
I want the truth Michael.
Zachary Andrews cheap soup "Premium" edition... dont lie!
The sad thing is that that isn't even my soup lol
Michael Reeves we believe you(sike! you thought)
Michael Reeves
really though, love the tutorials and stuff and looking forward to the next c# tutorial.
Zachary Andrews ikr
this is before Michael's insanity gradually infected his mind
Maze Runner. He has the Flare.
wait, where is the tutorial on how to build the "professional grade filming rig"
ples i need it for osu
Duck tape
find a long, narrow board about half the width of your phone, a heavy book or something and a small shelf. put the shelf above a desk or your workspace and put an end of the board on it, then put the heavy item on it to keep it from falling. then just put your phone on top of the other end. or you could cut a hole into the end of the board and put a camera in the hole

wow remember when michael actually explained the shit in his videos
Those were great times
I fucking miss that shit man, now his content feels so fucking soulless
Cuz thats nerd shit. Im joking, this is a joke. Dont shit on me he literally says this
I can explain it to you.
Ha ha tazor go zapp
>Hot gluing wires instead of soldering
God is dead and you killed him, Michael.
🌰
it's just a soldering gun ffs
you don't even NEED to solder wires together. If you wrap them around each other, it should be fine. The most you would need are endcaps to make sure they don't short themselves on other wires.
Penniless their called wire nuts lol
not everyone has a solder on their house
As someone trying to learn programming by myself I wish he did more of these
yess i just started to code
How much u progressed?@@toasterhead9812
I came from his eye-aiming laser... did he just tell me not to shine a laser in my eye? Im conflicted.
Peter Wiphle you can go blind from doing it. just dont.

@@stinkymonkey3740 your safety just got /r/wooshed my dude
@@coreblaster6809 r/whoosh
@@stinkymonkey3740 Yeah but what about going blind? There's your /r/woosh for you
It's so wierd not hearing him cuss or be sarcastic a lot and make a proper tutorial.
Ikr
Make a pass the butter robot from Rick and Morty. Don't make it functional, just make it move around randomly while saying "Oh my god" frequently
Matthew Cao sounds like a McDonald’s toy
Michel has made a tutorial and hasn’t sworn yet “HE’S LEARNING”
He swore a bit
This was two years ago.
He swore in his first or second video, I called us "nosey shits"
Yup
That doesn't last long
hey michael its being few years ive been subbed but this past month i really began my journey into arduino and id like to thank you for showing me i dont need to complicate a build to make it work. ive been stressing over some projects and you helped break through coder/builders block and i truley lend you my thanks for your inspiration.
Holy shit
I like how this is actually a tutorial and not just him skipping through all the nerd shit
"HAHAHAHA U THINK I HAVE MONEY" Lmao I was dying
I love this michal is not loud or cursing alot its nice
step by step process of a successful life
1. create TH-cam channel
2. shine Lazer in eyes
3. get a haircut
4. continue creating Lazer robots
5. get 19.9k subs
6. do all of the previous steps within 2 weeks
7. disappear and never make a video again
Get rid of step 3. /s
Dj Minus make a bot that reads messages.

Oops!
Thanks!
Matthew BPbuds that was completely accidental I didn't even realise I'd left a comment
0:15 love the amount of energy drinks just chilling on his shelf imagine the collection now in 2020
How this channel changed is remarkable

"Coming Soon" TM
TH-cam is telling me that your comment is only a few weeks old though :^(
This one was my first video of watching Michael Reeves and till today I just love this guy and I'm keeping him as my engineering idol
And also I need the code for this project

hey Mom, can I have _a professional filming rig_ ?
no, we have _a professional filming rig_ at home

>doesn’t have money
>buys official arduino instead of cheap Chinese version
I sense a bit of trickery here
Edit1: thanks for the gold kind stranger.
Edit2: spelling
Edit3: Tyrone wants me to break up with my girlfriend what do I do?
Edit4: my wife broke up with me and is now seeing Tyrone. What do I do?

He has a tesla I wonder how he got the money
@@tomnook8730 from the government lol
im sure watching you build anything would be entertaining
Holy shit your picture is the exact tattoo I have on my chest xD
CALL911NA0 nice, i want it either on my shoulder or leg
I wonder what would happen if he made a video about chicken noodle soup
I also find it sad that we all felt the need to like our own comments
I saw this in my recommend thinking this was a new upload I felt happiness in that moment
Can someone start a fund to buy a soldering iron?
I will donate at least $1. Maybe 2.
I have one my dude, but if you know how to solder, you just do that instead. If I didn't show how to hot glue and soldered instead, people who can't solder can't do the project haha
Hot glue does fix everything in fairness. Except skin.
So you also have a set of actual wire-strippers, and were just using the scissor method for demonstration, right? If not imma get you a pair.
What are you looking at, Smoothskin?
you gotta do more tutorials, these are amazing and honestly might push me towards a career in engineering, the videos would probably do well
Whenever i watch your videos i always say this before beginning to watch
*Oh reeves, our prometheus, what fire of knowledge do you bring to us mortals to day*
Bruh you good?
This is the video that introduced me to the insanity and danger to humanity that is Michael. Seeing how he’s changed over three years has been surreal.
Why did you use two power sources for the two servos ? (Are the power sources not powerful enough for a parallel circuit ?) Same question for the laser, but it is understandable if you want to separate the motors from the laser. Btw a great video and a funny one on top of that.
Thanks my dude, and yeah it would be great if I could use one power source to feed both servos, but mine are fairly weak since I got the cheapest ones possible.
Okay :D thank you for the quick reply, have a nice day and keep up the good work !
My laser diodes overheat when I run it off a 12v 1a powersupply... I was hoping to be able to run it all off one plug. Ive got the whole thing in series, if I run it in parallel will it overheat less?
@@juliantrueman6542 Read a little about serial vs parallel circuits - in series, you are essentially lowering the voltage across each component and that's not what you want. You want everything to run from clean 12 Volts (if your servos and lasers are 12V even, I'd assume they're 5V) and by wiring it in parallel you achieve just that while drawing more current - that's why you need to make sure you have a powerful enough power source to provide that current - Amps. (I'd recommend 3A and you should be good). Hope this helps
@@juliantrueman6542 the diode running hot means that there's too much current flowing through it, either connect it to a lower voltage power source or put a resistor in series with it.
Really like your ultrafastUGLY prototyping.
As a product designer, I think this is very inspiring (to avoid loosing time on the first proof of concept proto.)
Love from another poor man in Montréal
This channel went from 0 to 100 real quick. Now finsih part 2 ya bish.
Jamal Parkson and the same with 100 to 19,000
“Don’t shine this in somone’s eye” feels weird hearing that now
Hey, is that the soup I gave you? ayyyYY
It is, I don't have anything to cook it in haha
I'm glad to see it put to a good use
you dont need to cook soup just open and eat
just cook it on a hot glue gun, fixes everything
Marian Verhoof god damm it
Ah, the old times. Michael showing how to build the things.
"Pay close attention"
Rrrrrr
Rrrrr
Rrrrr
Rrrrr
Rrrr
"Its done"
It's both calming and unsettling to hear Michael this way.
0:16 “you people think i have money”
Also you:
20 monsters lined up*
its off-putting how sincere he is in this video
God I miss old Michael. He isn’t crazy like he is now and he’s just really chill. Where did he go?
First time you were calm in a vid
Hot glue fixes everything. Here are just a few of the many uses for hot glue.
- Your wife wants a divorce: Hot glue her to yourself. Fixed
- You were in a serious car accidents and have received permanent brain damage: Request a doctor hot glue your damaged neural network. Fixed
- A mentally unstable kid shot up your school: Following day, shoot it up with your hot glue gun. Fixed.
- Your gambling addiction has forced you into bankruptcy: Hot glue your assets to raise their value indefinitely. Fixed
- Your dog ate your homework: Hot glue it's turd. Fixed
- Your hot glue gun is broken: Hot glue your hot glue gun. Fixed.
- You built a laser that follows your eye and now you're blind: Thoroughly apply hot glue on your eye. Fixed
Dude says idgaf and hot glues everything. Respect. I'd be the sucker to solder everything.
we miss you...😢😭
anyone else insane enough to want to make more of his absolutely insane inventions?
Michael where have you gone!! Its been two months...Some of us are very ashamed of your consistency.
Also I enjoy your dry humor and witty jokes it adds for amazing entertainment with boring C#
Nothing changed
This comment is hella late but I found your channel and began binge watching your videos (because I fucking hate myself) from newest to oldest and I can literally see the points were your your mental health is deteriorating... it's the most entertaining thing I've seen in months
how about using it to point at an powerpoint lol sync it up with the mouse
Florian Maslofski that's actually a really great idea!
CodeLlama Well, since many programs support this out of the box it isn't that new of a concept.... it would certainly be really funny though
If you already have the mouse on the screen why do you need the laser?
doger944 shhh let them be ;)
It's in one of his earlier videos bboooiiiii
I love that he has taken to giving us instructions to build it, he's trying to get us to go on the offensive.
Instructions unclear, am now blind
sounds like it worked
Instructions are quite clear apparently.
Axel Abraxas Eyes unclear, but the instructions were fine.
Ikr I got my dog stuck in a ceiling fan
I know got mu bed stuck in my desk
I like how you tell us step by step as if we are actually going to want to make this to shoot at our eyes
Hey, can you do some more C# tutorials? Because I mostly only understood you over all the other tutorials.
same with me. I only understand anything if he says it.
I finally found a channel that i actually like.
I just subbed so fucking upload more shit mate
I'm gonna go ahead and upvote my own comment so there's more interaction on this video to increase your exposure
you're welcome, michael
haha lol
Saryn Prime sure why not
saaaaammme, this dude is hilarious why did I just find him
You know this is very hard to say but you are one of the funniest TH-camrs that I watch
great tutorial! just a quick tip though: you can wire both of the servos and the laser up to the arduino' s 5v pin and it should run just fine powered off of usb - it shouldn't use more than an amp of power.
I wish Michael is this nice now in days
2 months later is not "soon". Now I have half a turret with no idea how to code anything :c
i honestly love the way you go from being funny as fuck, to being really helpful in less than a few seconds. it really does keep me interested. nothin like teaching the world how to shoot themselves in the eye with laser's right.
Are you sure you're not an engineer? 😂 Damn, I didn't understand anything you did in this video but I sure enjoyed it.
Beans he cant be an engineer, because he hot glues the wires
Jmantheawsome1 also he didn't need any of the power bricks :/
Ilram Yerolf Why do you say that?
+Daydream Real engineers use solder and heat shrink tubing. Extra flux always helps for bigger connections. Hot glue makes a weak joint.
Jmantheawsome1 he stated in the vid that he used hot glue so that people who cant solder can still do the project. he also said that he has a soldering iron.
Were has this guy been my life i love this
Hahaha! Remember that one time when you said you were going to make a part 2?...
Micheal reaves is the only guy I've seen hot glue wires while they have current flowing threw them
I cant believe I'm considering doing this as my first arduino project
i just did. i recommend
same
Why did this video seem so relaxing
come back Michael, I just got to this party and I'm 2 months late ; m ;
Holy crap, this is when Micheal was nice and PURE
"Sentry going up"
maestro xD
TF2 YES
Your chaotic asf energy is amazing
good video again.
im looking forward to the coding part
yeah, i dont think there is gonna be a new video...
what a shame, this channel really had potential
@@Moa748 hah, yeah
Michael would be such a teacher he makes learning fun even tho im never going to make a lazer
"dont shine people in the eye with these" *makes machine for the sole purpose of shining people in the eye with them*
Ngl that's probably the best setup I've seen 0:13
"iam really poor"
*3d prints TH-cam buddies*
sjoeperbram lolol and btw he got printer 4 free
@@emm1757 how? patrons?
Michael is actually explaining it how to do it.
This is how his taseing addiction started
Daring Potato your not wrong, he’s a crackhead
If you are following this tutorial, absolutely DO NOT try to skimp on the power supplies. I made the stupid decision of trying to power everything my arduino and then spent two hours trying to figure out why my arduino kept getting disconnected from my USB port. It turns out that the servos draw too much power and they kept turning off the arduino. I thought that Michael had redundant power supplies, but it turns out that he knew exactly what he was doing and used the proper amount. This is why you don't try and take shortcuts when following tutorials made by people who know better than you.
Also, make sure you're using the exact same project type with the exact same name as Michael uses in the video. I couldn't figure out why the serial item in the toolbox wasn't showing up, and it turned out that I had picked a different Windows Forms project. The project should have the EXACT same title as used in the video.
I am pretty sure you can use two AA battery’s to power the servos
For the lazer pointer, you could just use a 9v battery pack with a 200-330 ohm risister to make it more portable.
Hold up! Won't the wires heat up and melt the hot glue?
Jagger Draws! No. Unless there is a short-circuit or too much current going through a too thin wire.
I making a electronic slaper
@@randomguys1806 too late
Legends never die!
Astro he plugged in a transformer that made it 5v
2:38 You do not need a soldering gun, you can use wire nuts (assuming you are not going to use a pen) as a temporary alternative in case you want to use the wires for later, and you don't need to worry about the wires touching. Also if you are going to use a wire nut, there is no need to strip your wires that long, just a half inch of bare wire is plenty, any extra and you risk shock if you are fingering around stuff.
0:15 me when my friends ask me to go out for the day
Michael should make a second channel for these videos I would literally watch it for entertainment since I love watching these videos ILY mykull nh
Where have you gone? D;
whenever you get an ad saying don't overpay for camera gear.
michael - done
Part 2 please
Nice job man, I am making an auto targeting airsoft turret, and this kind of helps. I have a decent amount of arduino experience and I am going to 3d print the housing for the gun mount.
"I am very poor"
3 years later, buys a tesla
Lmfao
Such a calming voice
4:53 "Don't shine this in people's eyes"
Little did he know.
I like how he evolved from this to a freaking sarcastic machine
Where is Part 2?? are you alive?
I actually know what he's talking about and I feel proud
Imagine someone uses DC 120 volt power cables not DC 5 volt ones
or 240v ac
even better
Just wait for the hot glue to dry. Love you man
He was touching a live wire... I was so scared lmao
He uses a taser all the time for everything. This is not going to be the worst thing that happens
its 5v at most so its fine
5V dc isnt dangerous
It’s scary hearing him so calm and nice. 😂
