This is awesome but why the huge video only to go to some sort of strange negative view of the final result?? Can we see the proper normal colour version please ? :)
Normal denke ich immer, müssen die Leute so viel Zeit für etwas völlig ohne Nutzen verbrauchen, aber in diesem Fall muss ich den Hut ganz tief ziehen. Richtig klasse!
man next time you guys make such a video, make sure you dont add any video effects. it ruins the video and kills the mood to even watch it. we want to see what youve built, not the effects came with the video editor.
Guys, keep doing this awesome creations. I'll be honest, the world needs this type of things. Matter of fact, I want one ! Ya'll should make a business out of this, it would generate a lot of money! :D
Always heat both leads and then apply solder. The way you solder leads to cold solder joints and vaporizes the flux. Google for "ersa solder guide" for a pretty much okay guide.
It's relatively easy to reduce the size of the PCBs inside the globe. E.g. by using smaller ICs and SMD technology. For this globe all PCBs are etched by hand and we couldn't go smaller. The picture(s) are 'out of sync' on purpose! In other words, it's just a number in our code which steers the rotation speed of the image - and this number can be zero.
I honestly would love to buy one of these if you could make another. Making sure it's stable and such I would buy it if were stable. Considering I don't have the time to make one myself.
Fantastic video! I think you will have less problems with mechanics in case of using thin FR4 PCB with small SMT components instead of heavy throuh-holes.
Como tienes algo así en casa? Es en serio o puro bloff.... Este vídeo me hizo pensar la complejidad, conocimiento, ingenio que representa crear este juguetillo. Nada fácil supongo
Nice work. In your video, we see a peak of your code of 1s and 0s. I did the same kind of code in my project 10 years ago. I like the full rotation on a sphere. Great work!!!!
Very cool, you could make it even better by getting the control board out of the center of the sphere...this will allow you to see the pixels on the backside of the transit ( use clear acrylic for the led arc ) .. to do this you would need to extendthe shaft above the the top mount and attaching the pc to the shaft outside of the sphere...
Looks good. Who sells these? If it could have LEDs inward as well to add depth to give the perception of a 3D hologram that would be better. The 3D printing community could view their .stl files before building them and show their models off.
What did you use for the commutator? The ones that I have been able to find are only good for 60RPM but for displays it needs a min of 1800RPM. Thanks for any assistance or pointing me in the correct direction of a high speed commutator.
You could use carbon brushes, they're used in electric motors of all sizes with slip rings and commutators, or you could also do it AC, and use a fixed magnet with a rotating coil. Spin it up, give it a few moments to charge a capacitor, then the internal parts run from that.
You can run the motor at integer multiples of the frame rate in the camera to avoid interference. (aka got a cam that records at 30fps. run motor at 30 rev/second or 60 rev/sec....)
I see, at first I was like "why is it rotating at slower/faster speeds?" then the video explained and I was like "ohh like a fan on video" but 1 thing: why isn't there a protective shield to prevent curious little people from losing fingers? Also, I personally would code the designs-or at least generate code for the designs using code. :)
Just in case no one mentioned this... i think anyone like me who likes to watch A how things are build and B how electronics are made or look like on the inside would rather watch the video with out that effect you used at 0:31
Bis auf die billigen Video Effekte ziemlich geil! Das mit den seltsam blinkenden LEDs im video liegt nicht an der Framerate der Kamera sondern an der Belichtungszeit, hätte man die länger eingestellt wäre das bild zwar ganz leicht verwaschen gewesen aber das Blinken wäre kein Problem mehr gewesen. Aber ich denke eure verwendete Kamera hat diese Einstellung nicht gehabt, die haben meistens nur Systemkameras.
Yes. If you are now going to ask if and where you can get it - just check our project page linked in the video description. But it's probably not of much use for you if you don't have a globe.
Very very cool! I liked the effect too but apparently I'm in the minority!! Surprised you used a lot of wire and old PDIP stuff... seems like it wouldn't have needed so much hardware. What do I know, I've never made one! Anyway, very cool!!
Awsome project congratulation, I am trying to do the same globe with rgb, but i dont really understand how do you conect the shift register (74hc595), I was wondering if you can send me a schematic of the circuit. Thanks a lot
Puh, rotating on a different axis: There is an difficult/impossible (A) way and an easy one (B) IMHO. A: Spinning the same axis and image rotating another one. The mc is too busy to compute this online and hence you have to save a slide show of images and switch between them in some time. Besides some other technical issues you will run out of memory (32 kB) really soon. One image has 200x40 pixels with 1 byte color depth, i.e. you need about 8 kB per image. B: Somehow produce a rotated image.
Hand etched.. In other words, the ultimate DIY project? =D How hard would it be to program the picture to rotate on a different axis? I assume it would take A LOT more frames?
Ok im going to try this on a simple level all I want is a cube of red / blue ratio unknown. What power source would I need could a pc psu with fans do it. Do you have any links to a forum.
If you want to better capture the motion without frame rate sync interfering simply lower the shutter speed of your camera. Many camcorders have a night mode (not the IR mode) or low light which will decrease the shutter speed and smooth out the lights.
I know it would be much more difficult, but is it possible to make a globe without the chip spinning inside(or at least a smaller one)? Like- send the frame/refresh through a single connection from the top/bottom, and each LED could respond to a different frequency signal.. wouldn't that be cool? You could send complex, real animated pictures! Another question, have you ever synchronized it so the pictures don't spin?
hi i have one question how i can make program for import one image of .bmp or jpg i have one propeller basic´s but i can not put images please help i write of Ecuador sorry for my english I wait your answer thanks
this was my first thought... how get the power? even if you make all the circuit outside and use just the leds inside the globe, you need wires... and how get the wires inside while turning? I think a battery inside is be a good idea...
Andre Luiz I did one but not globe, just plane clock, if i had time enough i would use a rotary transformer but i had to use a battery to make the deadline, search what is a rotary transformer, i think it's the best way if you can find one, buy or get it from an old VHS.
could you get the software to accept input from skype or other video conference software to display the image from the senders camera.. pseudo holographic. would probabaly take 3 times as many leds to generate enough pixels
This is awesome but why the huge video only to go to some sort of strange negative view of the final result?? Can we see the proper normal colour version please ? :)
oh hang on, there is about 1:50 through... fair enough. But still: less of the negative effect :)
You wouldn't have computer to post that if nerds like this never existed so be grateful people like this exist. Computer engineering FTW!
Normal denke ich immer, müssen die Leute so viel Zeit für etwas völlig ohne Nutzen verbrauchen, aber in diesem Fall muss ich den Hut ganz tief ziehen.
Richtig klasse!
Dude this video is unbelievable, yes i know that it's explainable to some degree but i was fockin impressed by the globe part
man next time you guys make such a video, make sure you dont add any video effects. it ruins the video and kills the mood to even watch it. we want to see what youve built, not the effects came with the video editor.
dilshan1994 yerr the fucking negative effect made me blind
+dilshan1994 be thankful the man share this with you.....top work dude love the video effects:)
but then how would you know how EDGY he is? (sorry in advance for the terrible joke)
MrLawSayer Dude, you're being way to nice. The video is amazing but be honest with yourself
0:29 why this video effect????
+Cristian Garay Agreed. The whole point of watching this video is to see what you are doing, and the "Find edges" filter does not help us to do that.
+EJ Lohbeck NO
I saw a sphere, globe or ball with only 3 leds, spinning in 2 axis.
But still is great. Very good work.
Congratulations guys! surprising and inspiring! one can detect the HARD work you put on the globe.
Guys, keep doing this awesome creations. I'll be honest, the world needs this type of things. Matter of fact, I want one ! Ya'll should make a business out of this, it would generate a lot of money!
:D
this is awesome best globe ive seen in a while
Looks like a hologram that is the coolist thing i have ever seen!!! awesome job
BEST LED project I've seen yet ;-)
called globe because thats what you were puffing on when you used those video filters
That globe display looks awesome.
1:55 And we were all amazed when the BBC introduced a mechanical globe. This thing is so much better.
Always heat both leads and then apply solder. The way you solder leads to cold solder joints and vaporizes the flux. Google for "ersa solder guide" for a pretty much okay guide.
Been wanting to make one of these for years! Well done!
Absolutely brilliant! Well done guys.
i'll take that as a compliment. These dudes are brilliant!
Have you noticed that the Globe runs backwards, as in real life?
Insane! I can not get my head around this. Good work
It's relatively easy to reduce the size of the PCBs inside the globe. E.g. by using smaller ICs and SMD technology. For this globe all PCBs are etched by hand and we couldn't go smaller.
The picture(s) are 'out of sync' on purpose! In other words, it's just a number in our code which steers the rotation speed of the image - and this number can be zero.
Genius Bros @ work, wonder which compiler you guys used in it but a very commendable effort.
I honestly would love to buy one of these if you could make another. Making sure it's stable and such I would buy it if were stable. Considering I don't have the time to make one myself.
Fantastic video!

We made one at our school, it was very nice to see.
O mundo virtual sempre surpreende. As mais belas formas de fascinar a visão vem geralmente de hologramas e efeitos virtuais.
2:00- 2:10-2:20 WAY more effective/efficient or at least easier in most aspects than coding : :
Applause!!! : :
Nice work. In your video, we see a peak of your code of 1s and 0s. I did the same kind of code in my project 10 years ago. I like the full rotation on a sphere. Great work!!!!
plz, get me code
its called binary and no one programs in it
Dieser Cartoon Video Effekt macht das ganze Video kaputt!!!!
Sonst super geiles Teil. Aber schneide bitte ordentlich
Congratulations, good job
Doesn't seem simple to me--seems pretty ingenious! Gonna market this?
Nice to watch! Great work!
love the visual programming, legend!
Agreed. I would have preferred a voice-over describing what was being done.
HAHA, fucking amazing, Great job guys, this is truly one amazing piece you guys have designed and built : : keep up the great work!!!
Bro that is really cool. Great work!
u guys are awesomee!! cant wait to see ur next creation!
Genius, wish I had the talent and know how to make stuff like this.
Now that is one cool disco ball!
Nope. ITS A Led Globe
congratulations for your work ... very very beautiful ... a question, the program that you see at the end of the video as it is called?
That is brilliant, well done, all about interlacing.
Very cool, you could make it even better by getting the control board out of the center of the sphere...this will allow you to see the pixels on the backside of the transit ( use clear acrylic for the led arc ) .. to do this you would need to extendthe shaft above the the top mount and attaching the pc to the shaft outside of the sphere...
Congratulation.... keep working and improving. Me gusta mucho ese trabajo

Music+bright lights=Rolling nuts!
thanks for sharing. what motor type did you used? step motor , brushless ..?
cool and neaty finished structure. The images too are pretty good. I like it!
You can run the motor at integer multiples of the frame rate in the camera to avoid interference. (aka got a cam that records at 30fps. run motor at 30 rev/second or 60 rev/sec....)
the camera effect you are describing is called 'aliasing'
I see, at first I was like "why is it rotating at slower/faster speeds?" then the video explained and I was like "ohh like a fan on video" but 1 thing: why isn't there a protective shield to prevent curious little people from losing fingers? Also, I personally would code the designs-or at least generate code for the designs using code. :)
have you tried to move the internal components out of the ring and used a small wireless solution to send the pictures?
Just in case no one mentioned this... i think anyone like me who likes to watch A how things are build and B how electronics are made or look like on the inside would rather watch the video with out that effect you used at 0:31
The icon of the application is from LABview!
what type of LED used? common anode or common cathode. please answer me, because I'm thinking build it. thanks
+rheller1981 Great project, but how loud is it?
So clever! And amazing results. How long did it take you guys to put it together - once you had worked out a better way? Just BRILLIANT!
Bis auf die billigen Video Effekte ziemlich geil!

With a lot more of them, you've got a nice tridi holodisplay ^^
I think the same
song is Prodax by Alex Dolby, you're welcome :)
Yes.
If you are now going to ask if and where you can get it - just check our project page linked in the video description. But it's probably not of much use for you if you don't have a globe.
This is epic i never thought that light could do that
please, can you tell me how didi you do it, please...i think the idea is amazing
I'm actually physically ANGRY that they won't sell or make this! I would by dozens of them! PLEASE SOMEONE MANUFACTURE THIS STUFF!
Very very cool! I liked the effect too but apparently I'm in the minority!! Surprised you used a lot of wire and old PDIP stuff... seems like it wouldn't have needed so much hardware. What do I know, I've never made one! Anyway, very cool!!
you should spin a complete 16x8 (or more) matrix around a axis( from center out).. to fill complete space and make 3D effet.
its a great project!
sadly link doesnt work , what did you do for transferring power to spinning parts?
it makes feel so excited
pretty awesome, next step would be to add led's through the middle. maybe a clock in the middle.
Nice project. Horrible music and video filters.
Awsome project congratulation, I am trying to do the same globe with rgb, but i dont really understand how do you conect the shift register (74hc595), I was wondering if you can send me a schematic of the circuit. Thanks a lot
Te quedo muy bien el proyecto. ¡Felicidades!

excellent work
1) which is the motor rotation speed?
Hand etched.. In other words, the ultimate DIY project? =D
How hard would it be to program the picture to rotate on a different axis? I assume it would take A LOT more frames?
What would be the price of that? Where can i see a page with the price? How much would you ask for one?
very impressive work guys!
Is the software and board designs for this project still available?
Hey, it's really cool. Love it. Congrats, buddies.
I kinda like the video effects, and I think the music is groovy. Great job! Do you sell them? I want one!
Ok im going to try this on a simple level all I want is a cube of red / blue ratio unknown. What power source would I need could a pc psu with fans do it. Do you have any links to a forum.
awesome, but what happens if you touch it while spinning ?
What makes us love stuff like this?
amazing work guyz .
could you plz give me idea how can i make this with my project team?
If you want to better capture the motion without frame rate sync interfering simply lower the shutter speed of your camera. Many camcorders have a night mode (not the IR mode) or low light which will decrease the shutter speed and smooth out the lights.
I know it would be much more difficult, but is it possible to make a globe without the chip spinning inside(or at least a smaller one)? Like- send the frame/refresh through a single connection from the top/bottom, and each LED could respond to a different frequency signal.. wouldn't that be cool? You could send complex, real animated pictures!
Another question, have you ever synchronized it so the pictures don't spin?
Congratulations. Well done!!!
That's great!! How fast is it spinning?
hi i have one question how i can make program for import one image of .bmp or jpg
i have one propeller basic´s but i can not put images please help
i write of Ecuador
sorry for my english
I wait your answer
thanks
hello friend apology will have the list of the components and the diagram can provide me .....
hand thanks to excellent work
Luis Rosas hi, i would like know how u build n how much spend? please
sorry I could help me I want to do this project but do not know how programci please help.
how much is? or can be collected if you have no experience? please help really want takoyzhe
How did you get power to the inner circuit? battery? Rotary transformer?
Sun power
this was my first thought... how get the power? even if you make all the circuit outside and use just the leds inside the globe, you need wires... and how get the wires inside while turning? I think a battery inside is be a good idea...
Andre Luiz
I did one but not globe, just plane clock, if i had time enough i would use a rotary transformer but i had to use a battery to make the deadline, search what is a rotary transformer, i think it's the best way if you can find one, buy or get it from an old VHS.
There are two mounting points for it to spin on, make one positive and one negative, not difficult.
wow! this is awesome! congratz man! veeeeery nice!!!
Shouldn't it be possible to place the boards under the rotating hoop to allow for a faster spin rate?
could you get the software to accept input from skype or other video conference software to display the image from the senders camera.. pseudo holographic. would probabaly take 3 times as many leds to generate enough pixels
What kind of copper wire did you use for this?
Is it possible to increase the number of LED's?
How many Shift Registers can the Atmega328 handle?
That is amazing ..........well done!
