what th hell?
I've found every one of your videos outstanding !!! Now with the LED video, you're showing practical ways in which to use LEDS. Oh, Your power and ADAFRUIT shields was perfect!!!!! Bravo
I'm a simple man... I see a corgi and LEDs and I like 👍.
I’m so glad I took a programming course this past term in uni. Before this seemed SO intimidating but with even a little bit of programming knowledge I think it’s doable! Thank you for making bit sized tutorials
Ahhhh, that looks so fun! I want to make some fun props that light up but was always kinda freaked out by LED's since I thought it would be waaaay too complicated, but I guess not! 😆
If you get compilation errors using the Arduino IDE (integrated development environment), let me know and I will walk you through it. Yes, it is fun and takes very little time to setup! Good luck!
I am happy that you are still making videos. Thank you for the tips!
Thank you for making addressable LEDs feel fun instead of intimidating!
+Scott Ferguson Well it is fun!!
Thank you for the video! Your videos are so helpful! Your previous LED video helped me put lights in the eyes of my Sphairai weapons from Final Fantasy XIV, I couldn't have done it without you! :)
that was the most adorable programming explanation I have seen so far
your love for corgis and LEDs, brings me joy. You have great taste :) Thanks for brief tutorial.
This video was very helpful to get me started. Thank you! I love your cosplay
This is very helpful and perfect for what I needed! Thank you very much. Wonderful work you do.
I've probably watched about 20 other videos tonight alone just trying to get some good direction for my cosplay electronics. This video helped so much more than the others! I'm actually feeling like I might be able to do it after all. Thank you so much!
Glad to help! :D
Fantastic tutorial!
Not sure if someone's already commented on this, but a good rule-of-thumb is ALWAYS pre-tin your wires and solder pads, it makes for better and stronger joints :)
I build quadcopters and this is something that is always emphasized in every tutorial I've seen.
Absolutely love your builds
Yes, and heat up the pads more before puting on the "tin", don't just put it on the iron, or use flux.
This has me super excited to find a project just so I can play with LEDs! Thank you for this video :P
+Sanzu Fabrications Sure thing!
I can't wait for "let your ass shine - Volume 2"!
oooh, awesome, adding to my Fashion Tech playlist for my after school fashion tech club! Thanks!
I'm a simple man. If I see a glowing pupper, I subscribe.
the advanced leds is my favourite book
thanks for sharing your experience. you and benni are always entertaining to watch. 😊
Your video made have been very inspiring! I plan to pick up your book as well
Just found and subscribed! Will be using your info on my next costume projects. You look amazing in those outfits! It's like the characters are modeled after your shape and size. You have a great sense of fit for your pieces. Looking forward to getting one of your books. Thanks for the videos!!
Glad you like them! :)
I am so excited to work on my tracer pieces using this technique!!!
You can do it!
this tutorial is amazing Svetlana :D thank you very much for sharing such an important information:D
Yay! Adafruit!! I’m so glad you guys are using it ;O;
Advanced LED book sounds great!
Thank you for everything you do
Bought the ebook. Amazing content :D
your videos are so relaxing to watch....
Thanks! I needed this for the portal gun for my chell cosplay!
you rock ! love your designs and your wonderful accent !
Always love your videos
Oh yes, you inspired me so much! Thank you!
OMG!!! Thank you for making this video!! 😊
Thank you Svetlana
Ich habe dich vor Kurzem gefunden und mich total in deinen Channel bei Instagram und TH-cam verliebt. Vielen lieben Dank für deine Tutorials, ich habe mir sofort dein Buch gekauft! ( bzw werde ich gleich)
Dankeschön! :) Freut mich!
Very good led wiring video, dear!!! Thumbs up!
Thanks Svetlana!
wow, you are super talented!!! amazing stuff & great videos. Thank you
Thanks!
"It's cool to be a christmastree" neues Lieblingsmotto xD
Cooles Tutorial :D Ich fang grad an mich mit LEDs zu beschäftigen, weil meine Freundin auch cosplayed /cosplayt /cos...meh
Ich mag deine Videos sehr ^^ Vielleicht wär ne Einblendung vom Schaltplan hilfreich :D Nur so als Anregung. Da erkennt man die Sachen manchmal besser, als wenn man das reale Vorbild abfilmt.
Ich vote für ein Corgi-Cosplay... Ein Corgisplay??
You're incredible ❤️
her accent is to die for
Her accent is to get conquered for.

I watched a video on LEDs and now I'm into COSPLAY!!! (well, I needed a hobby)
I got your books on humble bundle. Amazing
This is so satisfying to watch :D
this girls personality cracks me up.
You're both very talented... Just obtained your informative PDF book. I look forward having it as a guide... And you are very Right "It's Very cool to be a Christmas" Tree :-) Please keep up the great videos and give your Corgi's has scratch under their chin for me.
Beautiful Cinnamon Roll Too Good For This World, Too Pure.
Wow, that's sooo cool! Now I wanna do something with rgb myself :)
ALL the Corgi Mlemlem :D awesome video, was really helpful :)
Nice. Good luck!
"Lights are awesome, sadly it's a little too difficult topic to explain everything in just one video."
TH-cam allows 10 hour videos, so it would be possible. Should have worded it different, options:
>"Lights are awesome, sadly it's a little too difficult topic to explain everything in just one SHORT video."
She does this for a living. You want free content- she literally shows off a guide she gets off of google. Would you seriously sit through a 10 hour video on LEDs? Even uni students take a 10-12 hour course spread across multiple days. She already has a video on LEDs for cosplay purposes, I am sure she will be posting tons of LED videos in the future that will elaborate on all aspects of LEDs for unique constructions and cosplays.
This was a great video- it was enjoyable to see how she programs her LEDs and alters the code in a very clear display of a screen capture.
AgentIzzy35 I know she does this for a living. I know there is free content out there that shows everything. I was just criticizing her grammar or choice of words, because it seems like she was acting it's ACTUALLY impossible to teach the majority of it in a video.
Also, I'm pretty sure she wont be "posting tons of LED videos in the future that will elaborate on all aspects of LEDs for unique constructions and cosplays.", because look at her video history, she barely uploads, and usually makes only about 1 or 2 videos per topic, and considering she already did some LED videos I doubt she will be making a LOT more, especially after she said all of it will be explained in her book instead.
The video itself is great.
So you are nitpicking AND criticizing the grammar/choice of words of someone who does not have English as their native language. ;)
SomeSeal No, she knows enough English, and it wasn't like it was a case of difficult to use Englisch. She even knows enough English to explain wiring and simple programming, so don't give me that bullshit. And yes duh I'm criticizing the grammar/choice of words, I even said so earlier "I was just criticizing her grammar or choice of words".
By the way, English is not my native language and I'm German too ;;)))))))))))))
No, came here to see what the new uploaded video is since I'm subscribed, and her sentence just annoyed me because it WOULD be possible to explain almost all of it in a video, even if its a damn long video (even if its just the majority of the basics). She said it like its a fact, which is what annoyed me.
You are pretty much one of my favorite people.
Very Good! However, i would recommend you try the FASTLED library. It contains optimized code, color pallets, fast 8 bit noise, and many examples.
You should definitely participate at Face Off. Very inspiring video by the way Kamui, so thank you!
i am going to try this for vash's arm from the trigun stampede. i want to do better this year now that i have time versus last year when i had little less than 2 months. thank you for the info!
Estás totalmente a otro nivel.
Excellent Video! Thank you !!! 8-)
love the wideo love the accent
thank you for the video and keep up the good work :)
great help for a tau cannon im making thanks
You rock!
This is a great video, but you could consider pre-tinning the wires before soldering, or even using connectors. Personally I pre-tin all wires, use connectors where I can for easy assembly and disassembly and use many sizes of heatshrink tubing, of course black and red to match power and ground, and other random colors for other wires, like data. I also use hot glue inside the heatshrink tubing to ensure stress relief on the solder joint. A little drop fills the entire tubing. It's excessive, but clean and sturdy job is important to me. No hanging wires or straight to board connections without stress relief.
You are amazing! I like you!
You are so creative and very very helpful!Thank you so much!you’ve helped me learn so many new things easily and my cosplay wouldn’t have been the same without you!Also i have one question.What would you do if you needed to put in a color that isn’t red,green, or blue?Would you just have to put in a certain number with the colors or some other way?
Dream with shades of red green and blue you can do any color :x you can adjust the brigthness of each of the colored leds until the color looks like the one you need... for example no blue and red and green at the same amount looks like yellow (thats also how screens work btw)
Damn, Shadowmourne is beyond bad ass!!!
this is a pretty good wideo.
my weakness in making cosplays
In either of your books do you talk about tips for painting pieces that use LEDS. For example how to paint so you have the color and look of the prop, but also the lights show through properly? That way if the lights are not on, it still looks cool.
you're adorable and so it your dog, well done video
OMG I am completely at a lost for words right now... Is this woman for real? 😍😍
First of all, this is amazingly helpful, thank you for doing this. I would like to give this a shot, but the Powerboost 5V you have linked seems to be no longer available. would you happen to have another one that you'd recommend instead?
That Powerboost 500c is there for reduce voltage, so if i have power bank 5V i dont need powerboost in my project right?
Dank für dieses tolle Tutorial :3 Ich hatte echt Respekt vor dem Thema, aber durch dieses Video war es ganz einfach ^u^
Jetzt hat mein Schwester Svalna Cosplay ein blinkende Speerspitze xD
I love your work and your costumes are amazing. I was wondering If you sell or make custom costumes for people?
LED dog collars would be cool
Just wondering what battery pack you're using for your LED's as I can't seem to find any small enough for my build online and yours look perfectly sized, cheers :)
Aww i ordered just the trinket and the neopixels, didnt knew i needed the voltage regulator 😞
im here for the doggo
Everything ive read says that you should put a resistor on that data line to help minimize noise, Ive run them without and not had a problem, but I always put one in anyway.
It looks like the way you have wired it is using the voltage regulator on the microcontroller. You can get away with it with a few LEDs, but Ive found that when you do it, it really heats up the voltage regulator. Ive changed my designs to use the 5v on the USB jack for the LEDs, it bypasses the voltage regulator. I feed the device with 5v from a phone charger power bank device.
When you strip wires for soldering, you should tin them, then trim the leads down so that you have very little exposed wire, it helps prevent shorting, which can be a really big deal when its the main power wires.
I know thanks! It's not really necessary however since I'm using a low voltage power source. So I neither need a resistor nor a capacitor between the data pins. :) I also did it with 18 meter (around 600 pixels) of LED strip and it's not a problem. :)
I love your humour :)
hola, felicitaciones por tu arte, una pregunta, los libros se pueden imprimir en español?
Love your work! Questions: how do you charge the battery pack? This setup is exactly what I was looking for. If I follow this how long will the battery last and is this setup only for one strip of the LED, for example can a longer strip be used for this battery size? Can any brand of LED strip be used with the ardafruit booster and trinket? Thanks so much!
As far as your question about charging the battery. You will see the powerbooster/charger regulator board at 2:02 on it you will see on the right a micro USB connector (used to charge it via wall, computer, powerbank supply), the connector on the top is for the battery to plug into and on the left is the power output side. This little board is a great board because it allows you to not only power a device with the battery (regulated 5 vdc) but you can also be charging the battery while it's still running the circuit your working on. Also when you get this regulator/charging board it comes with a normal sized USB socket that can be soldered in place on that left side if you looking to plug a regular USB cable into it to power something.
Yeah I'll just buy christmas lights and glue that to my cosplay. X)
thank you so much for the help your videos have made my cosplay ideas a reality!
bought your led book and everything you shown in this video for the animation as well!where can i learn to edit the library codes for other different colors and effects!?
I'm actually working on a book for programmable LEDs. :)
KamuiCosplay thank you for the reply!awesome cant wait to buy!1 last question is there any way you could send me the code through email for the wave sequence you used for your gauss rifle?but in yellow instead of blue maybe?dying to figure that out,a con is this month for me lol 😢🙏
Ax PxSx do you still need it, or do you know by now?^^
nice tutorials do you also have book of led combining with sound effects whould be real nice to see one of those i found your starting books with led whould be nice to see a book with sound effects greetings
Thumbs up just because it's cool to be a Christmas tree
hi! I've been looking around online for which kind light switch to buy for doing led lights on the staff i'm working on for a cosplay, it's my first time attempting a project like this. is there a type you would suggest for the mini ones or a link to one similar that you use? Thank you!
I mainly use small slide switches. :)
An upload??? Finally??????? Has God answered my prayers?????????????? Frequent uploads from this channel???????????????????????? YESSSSSSSSSS
Can you do a lightsaber tutorial or any prop that makes noises and flashes when it hits stuff?
do you have an estimate time as to when your advance book would be released? I am really interested in learning all...
Hey there! Fantastic video - although, when I manipulate the code as you have, my neopixel 16 led ring continues to output red green and blue values. I can't get it to output ONLY blue, for instance. Any ideas? Been trying to debug this all day!
Can I also use the same technique out of the beginner video for led strips, so if I won't controll them
Barrel thingy 5:14? Exactly what a synth would say.
The geek is strong in this one
How do you add the led lights to a spandex costume for light up affect?
Hey. Nice video's!
Bought your book on LED's, very helpfull.
I was wondering thought.
Whats the best way to connect two led strips to one on/off switch to let them work simultaneously while each having there own animation?
The same question for a led strip and individual leds.
Hope you can help me out!
Hey Alexander! You can use only one strip and seperate them into two sections or use two different pins. You also need to write a code for every section/pin. It's quite hard to explain and I'm not an expert, but www.adafruit.com offers great tutorials, so hopefully you can find there some help! :)
Alexander Heeren you can also just use them as one strip and habe them have different effects... you can just apply changes to led 1-15 (for example) without changing what led 16-30 are doing^^
I'm too stupid for this
Stupid for the very basic of electonic and codeing, but calls himself/herself a nerd. Nice one mate.
@@thombaz i mean there are many ways to be a nerd, no need to shoot someone down man...
@@watermellon452 I just don't like the world "nerd" like It's some "cool" thing. Being a nerd is not a good thing, people need to evolve. And to be true, 100% of people who call themself Nerd, are the ones who have nothing to do with it. "I know Ohm's law, I am such a nerd." ect
@@thombaz But you also have to understand that the overall definition of the term has changed over time due to social media. It's more about someone who is passionate for a specific platform that's not common among the mainstream such as football or... some Kardashian shit. Trust me I get it, I hate it when people wave their "I'm a nerd" flag in everyones face being the attention seeker they are, especially when their actions oppose said self proclaimed title, but ig "nerds" aren't just those who are smart anymore. It can be anyone. I could type all day about the parallels between the different types and retrospect of nerds but why bother... it's the internet...
@@watermellon452 I got angy on some electronic stuff, Imma sucha NERD. :D
You should put a list of the supplies you use in your videos. It would be VERY helpful.
