- I want to stream every week, but my wall sucks! Let's put up 30 feet of RGB hexagons and make 'em display my stress levels. I'll call it Chromance, because it's not just pretty colors. It's my heart.
This project and video were sponsored by EmotiBit! Help Kickstart their eponymous hacker-friendly emotion-tracking biosensor wearable! www.kickstarter.com/projects/...

NanoLeaf wall triangles are history - we all know hexagons are the bestagons. This electronics and 3D printing project packs a punch, but is surprisingly easy to build!

The eating a wrist watch joke was right on time.
lmao
stop it now
I think you’ve ticked someone off…
Bro, I sat there and had to chew on it for a second.
Someone should really give him a hand
The only youtuber who is actually funny when he tries to be. Cracks me up every time .
His scripts are ridiculously good.
You clearly haven't seen Technology Connections
@@kiefac Patron to both :)
@@Paroxymic sorry, meant that for OP. Can't tag the OP in a reply apparently
I also recommend Marco Reps. The funniest German I've seen so far ;)
"It's a lot like eating your wrist watch: isn't particularly difficult, but it is time consuming"
lol broke name intensifies

@@rithvikkona8922 Really, it's across my entire screen and thru my recommends, lol. I even decided to reply to you instead of the OP. you would think TH-cam wouldn't allow that? Very cool. But yeah I like that stupid watch joke, I'm going to use it allot.
Your name is a cheat
That one took me waaaaay to long
I hear someone saying "go" or something whenever you are starting a clip.
i thought it's my neighbors at first lol
Same! Could it be a part of the hidden message? Like the names of his patrons or something..
Omg thank you, hopefully he addressed it later in the video, really got to have a pause there.
Probably his wife, giving him a starting cue. He has shown in previous videos that she helps him record videos.
They need to adopt the Wayne's World methodology: th-cam.com/video/Y_iavAphIMI/w-d-xo.html
Your scripts are ridiculously well written and delivered. Poetry and art and junk is my jam, and damn, your wordsmithery deserves much more praise. Also, glad to see you'll be streaming. More of that curly top bouncing around is good for TH-cam, that's why you're everyone's favorite channel, now.
Also, at some point I'm gonna post my backlog of oil paintings as shorts, I'd love to gift you a piece if ever you see those future and hypothetical videos.
That watch joke made my brow furrow but my belly laugh unfurrowed it. 11/10
Hexagons are the Bestagons.
Ccp Grey
I feel the same way I did after watching Tenet... confused and amazed at what I just watched.
Would love to attempt this at some point
same
I 'watched' the "time consuming" pun in a 'timely' manner.
I came back for seconds
Let's not forget about the wrist of his puns.
I got to hand it to him, I chuckled for a minute
Oh stop winding me up
@@ZackFreedman We have been noticed by hour benevolent overlord!
Big fan of the way you present your videos it's a great mix of education and entertainment, that watch eating joke did make me laugh so thank you for that
11:59 WHY DID I HEAR THAT AS "The only Wi-Fi ever need"
The only wi-fi ever need... unless you're Mormon.
Just found you a couple of weeks ago and love the content. This is some good stuff. Thanks so much!
I love how there’s a little “oh” sound every cut
Quality over quantity! You guys are an absolute inspiration, this is the best content on youtube hands down.
The final installation looks amazing, great job mate!
Whaaat! spiffy wall art and the prospect of weekly streams! top shelf Sunday viewing :) great video dude.
The Antifa being last scared me, was like no, where'd they go
Don’t need em anyway ;)
Always amazed at all the alliteration.
The Robin Williams of Makers! Another [a]literally lovely episode.
this is sweet man, thanks for the code and STLs this is gonna be my wall
Looks amazing, first time seeing your channel can now say i'm Subbed
Always a good video when wiring up LEDs reminds you that the 7 bridges of konigsberg solution is relevant to my life in too many ways...
Can we appreciate the fact that he links his words so damn good, even with some cheesy puns
So glad that you’re gonna make more videos!
Thank you for the good work and please keep it up. I appreciate it. You give these old bones new life.
l love the alliteration-y intro. Perfectly on point, Pal.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I had almost this exact idea and I was too lazy to figure out how to make it a reality. Brb buying parts now
that thing looks amazing! great job! stay safe.
This is the best channel on TH-cam rn. I feel like I’m not alone in my brain with this community. Thank you Zack.
Aww! Thank you!
off the charts man! great work!
OMG I LOVE your alliterations!
Damn dude you put out really well produced / well researched / cleverly scripted content at a very steady clip, which I love, but I hope you know where your burnout limits are and are able to dodge them. Actually, that could be a cool topic for a video (although maybe you've already done that one!)
Thanks! The lead-up to the move pushed me way past my limits, so I have a much better sense of what I can keep up with.
The writing in this script is phenomenal!
Ok dude you finally developed cool lines, now I am 100% percent where I put my sub
Aluminum rails and diffusers for light strips are a goldmine for DIY RGB. I'm surprised more people haven't done something similar yet. Nanoleaf kits are like $200! But 50 feet of rail is maybe $20.
I'm making a pair of light bars, and I _was_ just going to stick it on the wall. But now I need to make some risers so I can flip them around to face the wall, because that looks _so much better._
Everything about this is amazing.
I can only dream of having as good alliteration skills as you
I love it when he does that with his words. :)
Gosh darn it I love your videos.
I'm definitely building two of these. One for me and my daughter.
Amazing as always. Thanks for sharing 😉
The alliteration bits gave me big Letterkenny vibes, love it
Once again my neighbours must think I'm crazy when I laughed alone in my flat about the "eating a watch" bit :D great video :)
Pretty cool light project. Heck, i even considering to build something like this!
Just noticed that one horizontal, one vertical dual screen setup. I abandoned it when most of my games wouldn't play nice but it was nice for Discord, TH-cam shorts, and occasionally reading code
I like it for the touchscreen because it keeps the onscreen keyboard from hiding the programs!
this is something i actually can se myself be capable of doing. super smart solutions!
Go for it! Instructions are in the description.
Really cool project
Thank you very much Zack for having used my music in your video. Thanks for the support. Greetings
Haha dude, I like your projects but I love your writing 🤣👌 the jab at Amazon was amazing haha
you might've just accidently solved my color light strip mounting problems. woo!
Eating a wristwatch is "time consuming" - yet another pearl of wisdom from Zach.
The soundtrack to this video is on point
Nerds everywhere can finally express outward emotion
Really cool effect !
Fewer videos more ambitious projects... YES PLEASE!
man you are a master scriptwriter. also ok at electronics
Im moving next week and i am def building this!
Whoaaaa.....that's unbelievably awesome!!!!!!
Subscribed and liked as always😁
hexagons are the bestagons
That's so f'in cool, real work of art! I always enjoy watching a genius unfold! :) cool video, i really enjoy your channel, so much creativity & smartness combined! one day I will try to make something similar! wish you the best!
So like, 40 amps these could draw? Nuts! My biggest issue is how to power LED projects without insane power requirements.
I like how your background has some of the prettiest and coolest tech... and then there is a hanging shofar
Excuse me, that is a drinking horn. It doesn’t have a blowy hole. The mead would leak out.
"...like eating a wristwatch; it isn't particularly difficult, but it is time-consuming."
I fukken died.
that intro made me feel things ive never felt before
I rarely comment on anything but damn I love this channel and its content
Neat! Fork'n watching for BOM!
Another hit video!
I'm thinking about things to put on the wall behind me, so I don't have the blank white wall of doom during meetings. This came up at just the right time. What distance do you plan on being from the wall while you record, so that it remains a cool background and doesn't become a constant distraction for your viewers?
I really love TheAntifa, was actually wondering where they went at first. Kudos for the labor rights shout out btw, I appreciate the effort
I want one of those boards... It would be awesome for diagnostic sleep tracking
Well that was fucking cool. Keep it up man you're an inspiration
The way you talked on the start for some reason reminded me of the way the a.i./narrator in KND talked
The eating watch joke got me, good one.
This was cool.
Hey your videos are so cool, don't worry if you space them a bit ^^
The alliteration in the beginning blew my brain circuits
So real talk I literally love your content the way you present it and all but in all honesty I kinda hate you... lol... just a little for coming up with such an awesome good looking project, thanks now I have to build one, hahah!
All seriousness please keep up the great, amazing, excellent, stupendous work!!!!!
This would be super rad for my classroom. I'm thinking of reducing it to 3 hexagons and omitting the biosensor and putting the animations on a loop. Anyone else planning on building this without the sensor?
You can build it without the scencor easily you just have to code the light movement on your own
Can you share the code and what did you do differently? I want to build one without the wrist sensor, too.
@@eLFuetee i havent built one but a bit of tweaking the code can just make it have patterns without the sensor
This would be good for streaming games.
I love the idea of this... and would love to make one... any chance of a step-by-step walk through? have watched (and kept up with - despite the speed!!!) most of your videos... but would like a more in-depth on this?
That intro made me think that you've been watching Letterkenny recently
Just discovered your channel and I love it 😂. One question what type of wearable computer are you wearing and what do you use it for?
That's my Optigon heads-up display! I use it as a teleprompter. There's a video about it on my channel!
@@ZackFreedmanAwesome appreciate it
Could you show how the data wires are connected in a three way piece? I can only seem to find shots of even numbered pieces in your video. This is an awesome project and thank you for sharing!
I put diagrams in the instructions - check the description or the GitHub repo
Did you say, "WiFi is part of the art," @4:53? I love it! It should go on a t-shirt!
He probably considered calling the project "wifART" but this joke got cut from the vid.
Even more proof that hexagons ARE the bestagons!!
5:25 is so true it hurts, but tbh I love to see it included
I want that desktop background too :o
alliteration astounds and abounds as awesome appreciates. DIY developer dorks. I don't know man.
Lol when you finished your list of patreons i was just about to say "aww where's antifa??"
I was thinking the same thing! haha
I watch all his videos but don't really get it... What did I miss?
One of my Patrons' usernames is 'TheANTIFA.' I get a few high-sodium comments about it each video. Most of them are so hostile that I delete them, but there are a few floating around
@@ZackFreedman Thanks for the answer! You clearly do a pretty good job if I hadn't seen it before ;)
Somehow I feel like “TheAntifa” has become an integral part of this channel
Zack, is there any chance you'll do a video on the fgc-9 mkII?
Regardless love your channel!
I don't currently feature any weaponry on the channel - my writing is inherently comical, and I don't think I could give 3D-printed firearms the proper respect and context.
lol'd at the OUYA, I backed that and have it in a box here at home still
Zack, honestly, I don't ever post this crap on other youtuber pages cuz I consider it cringy and yadda yadda, but your projects inspire me to this point that I actively think about your projects throughout my day, as well as my own ideas starting to formulate.
I relate to this so much. When I get my channels off the ground for homemade projects like these, I will probably reach out. Do you have any email or preferred contact method for a collaborative project or ideas?
I'm on the discord but I'm too socially awkward to open up
I need that emotibit.
Finally a project I can build myself!
I am building a hexagonal ceiling lamp right now. Still working on it I also use SK6812 LED strips.
NGL, the ThunderFinger is a sick name
Whoa, whoa, whoa there Manhatten. "Code is boring"? What does that mean? Code are the spells of the modern Alchemist, homeboy. Build what you want with your modern purified crystals, metallurgy, and magic bric-a-brac: it all means nothing without the correct incantations.
I touch on this in a few episodes, but putting code on screen causes a dip in retention. Many viewers just seem to click away when programming, or maybe just the code itself, comes up. I felt like for this episode, it was worth losing some retention.
Ahahah man i really enjoy your vids. Support
Hexagons are the Bestagons!
"they weren't to solve problems..... they were to make cool stuff" lol, so true
