Thanks so much, Mario, your tutorial was great! I just got it working on an ESP32 and ESP8266. Only one thing I needed to adjust -- my LED matrix is WS2812B, so I adjusted the matrix type from default WS2812. Worked great (though that little tip took me almost an hour!)
Thank you for video. In tinkercad if you take one object and duplicate it, and move that new object on its new place, just press ctrl+D and it will duplicate another one and it will palce it with same distance as you have 2 older objects already. Just a small precise trick I use.
@@marios_ideas See if with that matrix and the esp8266 module, if you have designed a circuit that shows the time on the matrix, that's what I was referring to.
Man i odered a couple these with no plans i often buy random stuff to later look up and see what i can do. Why? IDK. Anyway I dont have a power supply but have a nother cheap set of LED lights that has a USB one that i could maybe take apart? Advice? Or just order and wait? Also any idea on how i could make like a decent sized panel out of these? how to drive power for that many or are there better panels for that? Thanks!
Mario. This is great, well done! However I cannot locate LedMatrixControl version 1.3.1. I have found another version (1.1.5) but it does not have the FastLED export feature. Can you help? Thanks !
The video is old so you should not stick to that particular version. Google fast led and github and you should get the link to the latest verion of that library. The you go to CODE->Download zip
Ive got a question, I ordered one online and it just came in today. I know basics of code and how to solder and stuff. My plate is a little diffrent then yours. Instead of DIN +5V etc it says: V- IN V+ and the other three V- OUT V+. What is what? I guess IN = DIN and OUT = DOUT. but makes that +5V the V+ and the GND the V-?
This is a really great video. I've tried to solder the pins like you did but it doesn't work. It doesn't get any current. Are you using a special type of wire for your arduino? Thanks

Great that my video was sueful. Please give video a like. Helps to grow my channel:)
Hope they pin this comment as this is good information
$ 4 for such a module is actually a bargain, clever idea with diffusion panel, looks nice !
Thanks

Also if you print white surface very thin you will have more precise and more visible borders in-between leds
Thanks for all the tips:)
Hello, do you have any Arduino echo clock with the 8x8 screen?
What is echo clock?

it was awesome sir, thank you very much for sharing beautiful project.
Is there a way for you to share the 3d Files of the front Plate?
I will find it tonight and and it for download at my Patreon webpage
can you please send me the file of the front panel so I can 3d print it?
thank you!

That is correct
wow thank you so much for the great video!
Do you have the stl files for the diffusion panel?
Give me your email and I will send stl file
@@marios_ideas please upload on thingiverse, update it on your video description and then reply here.

Thank you
Can you explain the LED how it works?
You are welcome:) Not sure what you want me to explain.

I used normal jump wires.
Bro can you use Xd-74 sounds sensor to make the that led matrix become VU meter
Does Xd-74 has analog output. In this case yes. If it is digital that you have either sound detected or no sound detected so not much of the VUmeter
@@marios_ideas ooo that's mean i can use it as VU meter project
Que arduino es?
This is clone of Arduino Nano but it would work on any flavour of arduino
it helps me a lot thnkz
Whatch this one as well th-cam.com/video/nfCardqm0Cc/w-d-xo.html
Wow inspired me
Cool:)
mine went up in flames, fun, it says 5v in, I used the 5v out from the arduino.
I have 4 of these and knock on wood they are ok
Your setup function is using rgb change it to grb
Will try
it would be better to share the cascading of rgb led matrix display also
