Animated LEDs for Beginners! 

You are the Bob Ross of cosplay. You make it all look so straight forward and easy.

A project that I am currently working on uses a raspberry pi zero. It's a microcomputer which you can use to power LED's as well. The cool thing is that you can remotely feed it commands using an app on your phone. So that way you can change your LED's on the go!

Hey there! Thank you for this awesome video :D About the helping hand: if the "crocodile teeths" are damaging your boards, you can put a heat shrink tube on both parts to soften the grip!

Thank you for this! Definitely needed a tutorial and a supply list ❤

thanks again for an amazing tutorial

Mir war vorher nie aufgefallen das du aus Deutschland kommst. Schönes Schritt für Schritt Video!

I really love your tutorials and I'm also working on my first LED project now. I wired everything and also entered the code. When I connect my Arduino Nano to the computer all animations work but when I plug it off and switch on the battery (3.7V) the lights only light up without the animation. I wanted blinking purple lights but when I use the battery it only shines purple without the blinking animation. Why is that so? Is 3.7V not enough for animations? I thought it would be enough because Kamui also uses them in her projects.

Your inspiration has been amazing! Benny is definitely a great secret weapon, I have learned SO much from his videos. @KamuiCosplay Is there a reason you choose to use the Feather M4 with the PropMaker wing instead of using the Feather RP2040 Prop-Maker board? I recently made a large hammer using the Feather RP2040 PropMaker. It was a great experience and I'm curious if there is something specific you prefer about your setup.

What about resistors? How and where do you put them?

I got the book at Christmas, this video is a nice addition to help me understand! :D I was worried to mess up the soldering :')

Thanks a lot, you guys. I've only made one light-up prop so far, and it was just with basic store bought christmas lights and very simple. I've been wanting to do some more complicated builds and I think you've given me enough to get started. Thank you very much for all the work and love you put into your builds. Your passion for your art is amazing. And... Corgi!

Heeyyy Svetlana and others!! Is this set suitable for any other programable led WS2812 strips?

Dayum 40 secs ago, we early boooyys

Hi Kamui! I am doing an OG sam fisher from the 1st Splinter Cell Cosplay. I have a 3d print of the Goggles and I would love your advice for 3 Green led lights 1 for each cylinder on the goggles. What type of leds would you recommend, Single or strips? And what light diffusing material should I use if any?

Days before I attempt my cascading led project for my Rapunzel wig- Kamui drops this. SHE READ MY MIND- I was legit so confused on how I’d do this but this legit is so helpful😭 now to find the money to do so 💀

I know you use adafruit and like it, but what about other chip sets? Like Arduino, raspberry pi, etc.?

Hello everyone, good viewing🐼

5:36 Interesting video! I have a question... Aren't 0.14 wires too thin? Don't they heat up after a while that the LEDs are on?

Hi ! I am trying to use your tutorial but at 15:30 mine doesn't lights up and I don't see it on my computer either. Do you know why and would you have a solution ? Thank you a lot !

Sehr geehrte Frau Swetlana, können Sie bitte das Cosplay von Kandakia aus dem Spiel Genshin Impact erstellen. Ich denke, Sie werden es großartig machen. Im Voraus bessten dank. Deinen fan Andrey.

Thank you for this super informative video right in time to improve my latest Evelynn cosplay ✨️

I was going to use one of your older videos for LEDs in the very near future. Thank you for putting this out! It's exactly what I'm looking for. I'm making an attempt at the Broken Vessel from Hollow Knight and I wanted to do a nice pulsing light effect inside the infected bubble.

Hello Rana, I have been following you2. Last year her teaching clips were very good. But I'm Thai. Makes it difficult for me to understand when she teaches. I would like to order a beginner's book to teach basics. What books does she recommend? Because if I were to buy it myself, it would definitely be the wrong book. I want the molding of full head armor, arm guards, and full body armor (male). Please reply to my comments. You can send me a link to each piece in the comments. Thank you in advance. Keep making good clips😁😁. I'm following you (even though I don't understand).

Boys and Girls, where you buy NEOPIXEL LED STRIPS IN EUROPE? In my Country (Lithuania) i can't find, only other manufacturers with WS2812 led strips... Help

I want to thank you for the wire stripper tool!! it is the first one I have ever had that actually works!!

Corgi! Also, great tutorial as always. Definitely would be great to use in conjunction with your tutorial book!

Would you have any advice for a super small LED light where there may not be room for anything besides the light, a switch and small battery?

Help please. when I put this code in the Mu editor it says: "Import Error: There is no module named 'adafruit_led_animation'" for line 6

Thank you! It was very helpfull! 🙂 Please make an late roman Berkasovo style helmet, I'm very curious about how you make such a big helmet crest/comb! 😊

Probably for the more advanced side of led work, but how would you safely apply this to work under fur? Arcade Ahri from League of Legends has tails that cycle through the rgb spectrum as a prime example. Aside from he KDA skin line, her tails are fur, but some have an ambient glow effect to them.

#9:00 -- please set the PCB correctly at the connectors before soldering. like shown it is a predetermined breaking point .. that's bad work. (not the joints, the behavior) also #9:40 -- pre-tin the wires before conntecting. #13:40 -- keep open wires shorter.

Why did you have to make the mask do that laugh tho😭

im starting my first cosplay soon and am sooo excited! I've watched your videos since i was in highschool and am just now able to start cosplaying! Is there a video explaining where to put everything inside the cosplay? Do i need a heat resistant material or can i put the wires and battery inside the eva foam?

Is there any switch or method to allow three modes or even four different color modes or regions, instead of just on/off? 1 Off, 2 green, 3 blue, 4 orange

I need help with a simple Soft on Soft off Led circuit! I wanna do a mantis cosplay with two 3v leds with a simple button switch that will slowly power them and slowly turn them off.. Im a complete beginner and dont know the terminology to actually be able to research and put all the pieces together.

Que bien me gusta ver que está mujer sabe lo que está haciendo y es muy bella también

Hey, awesome tutorial. Theres a little mistake at 23:20. You said you can lower the brightness by setting it to 1.5, but you meant 0.5

How would you carry the battery on aeroplanes? They dont allow power batteries in baggage right? How do you plan to remove the battery for travel?

Thanks Svetlana. I almost get it. When I get around to actually trying this, I'll review. ❤ Hi Benni. 🙂

I just started planning my 2024 dragon themed Halloween Masquerade ball gown. 🐉👗🎃 But 1 giant gloomy cloud stood in the way: I had no idea how to design the lighting and electrical system for the fire and lava elements. 🔥🌋 Thanks to this video, that gloomy cloud is gone!!! Only excitement remains. 🤩 Perfect timing! Thank you! (Just joined, too. Excited to support the channel!)

Soldering is correct. Only Americans seem to miss out the "L". :)

I have a question what is your reccomendation use for a button for led

i cant find the adafruit_bus_device (directory), i need to created be my self?

no me funcionan 🥲 al principio reconocia los chip mi pc ahora no y parapadea 3 veces el led del feather m4

Ok but how recharge that props when already created? you charge whole prop or you pull out battery from it?

isn't led 7 in both groups? shouldn't it be 0-6 and 7-13?

I was curious as to where you purchased the connection piece to connect the leds to the board? The piece with the black, white and red wires

Have you ever thought about renting a shop in madeira...im sure tourist and locals would be interested in this stuff.

I have herd about huge week long events in Europe have you herd about this

how do you charge these lithium ion batteries?? :(

Those feathers micro controllers are kinda overkill just for leds

Corgi ! such a helpful tutorial thanks a lot !

I want to become a Christmas Tree. 🎄🎄🎄

Great video! Look into a pinecil, so much easier to solder with.

grade erst gemerkt das ihr deutsch seid :O eine frage könntet ihr vllt das odachi+scheide von Alpha crimson weave aus punishing gray raven anschauen ob das möglich wäre?

Does someone know if this is possible with an esp32 and wled?

Are you still using the feather wing?

Thank you for the video. Showing the computer side of it really helped me.

Is it possible to do this without a laptop but rather an iPad?

I found out that you are coming to México :D

Step one: wrap Svetlana in seran wrap. No? Rats!

Can you do yuji new amrs in jjk Please

IM SO GLAD SHE MADE THIS VIDEO !! Shes so cool, im so gonna take this and run with it!! Thank you kamui!!

hi beautiful. great video

How do you charge the battery?

Wow... I subbed so fast 😅

Man I'm so glad you did a video on this finally, this will inspire myself to learn :D

G for Gon. EN for Enoff.

Very interesting, really, I want to cover my table with carbon fiber and put a sign underneath with some LEDs, I haven't yet mastered the art of epoxy

Your link for the Lipo battery's don't work, it just links to a Adafruit Pro Trinket LiIon/LiPoly Backpack Add-On.

Best bit was when Svetlana stripped!! And cleaned just the tip!! 😉😉😂🫶 BUY HER BOOKS! 📚 💰

👋🏻🇸🇻

i like u

thanks for your video really helpful! i was wondering if you have 300 LEDS how can you provide much power ? if the prompt need to be connected to electricity , are you using 5v 18 amp?

pshh why can't electronics just have simple friction plugs instead of pin holes and stuff requiring soldering..

Great video, I have the book also, it really helps a lot! Question: can the chip be used for movement also? I want to create a mask that opens and closes and lights up and it would be great if i can do it with this same chip. Thanks for the video.

I am always using an Arduino Nano! Problem with this one is if u need an instand Effect when powering it on, it needs almost 2 Seconds before the Effects starts!

Can u make klee

Corgi ❤

Just curious as to why you moved away from the Adafruit Protrinket and PowerBoost with the arduino coding?

Super nice work. I'm really Impressed! Congratulations. I will love to do this kind of work. Greetings

So cool how this video just came out I'm just waiting for my RGB rings to arrive to wire up my majora's mask following from your new led book it's going to be my first cosplay outfit I go to a con in 😁

You would like the adjustable solder iron. Seem to work better than the fixed types.

what if I want a set of pixels to turn on one at a time and once on stay on until the whole circuit is switched off? perhaps I can send you a short vid of the back of my Cylon Centurion costume where I have a matrix I built (but not using these tools)

I hope you find this helpful and not critical- the "r" in "iron" is silent, so you'd say "soldering eye-n" ❤

Hello, do you have a link or anywhere I Can find the 40mm speaker at 3:38 , I'v been looking for this for a while and cant find one.

this is super helpful, I'm soo intimidated by working with leds, but this video demystified it pretty much for me :))

TY fot the updated tutorial. I've watched the other tutorials dreaming of the day I could afford LEDS. well that day is here.

I’ve always been so intimidated by leds 🙈 ai hope I can try it out soon. Thanks for your videos.

I just purchased my first book and now I know I need the others

Another video and I want to organize my own workshop so bad but I don’t have any money now lol 😂

This is perfect, i need to wire an LED heartbeat effect, any advice?
