wow! You are amazing, i have a lot to read and study to even try this, but i definitely will
This is WILD!
Wow, thank you!
What did you studied? it is amazing!!!! we use dmx boxes for leds
Thanks a lot Edu! ❤️ ...I have a degree in Computer Science, that certainly helped.
Actually I would love to have a chat with you about different lighting techniques before designing the final version, only when you have the time and are interested in adding your thoughts. No hurry ;)
Thanks for the update - as always fun to watch!
Just in case you would need more PWM channels - have look at NXP's PCA9685 16ch PWM IC. There are arduino libraries, so it's actually really quick to integrate.
For LED-only, you can use the existing "PCA9685 Servo PCB boards" directly, but for higher voltage/current bulbs, 1 MOSFET per channel is required, so you would probably need to make an extension board or integrate it in V2 of your design.
I'm curious if many independantly controllable lights is actually something that would match the atmosphere of the movie, or if this would add just too much dynamic or "life" to the scene... anyway, looking forward to watch it!
Thanks a lot! - In practice I rarely needed more than 2 independent channels and in order to keep the device as affordable as possible I'm trying to only use a minimal number of components in this first version. But if there is some interest I might consider making a bigger version with more channels and more power at some point! :)
By the way, I think I actually have some PCA9685's lying around, I have used them for another project once :D
@@ValentinFelderah, I could have guessed ;)
will i be able to purchase the miniature monthly? i missed the opportunity 😭😭😭
I'm glad you like the concept! You're indeed a bit too late for the monthly robot kit subscription, but chances are that I will have similar offers in the future, just keep an eye out. ;) ...And if we're lucky I will have one or two last remaining robot kits available at the end of the year, but right now these serve as my backup in case something gets lost or damaged.
