I'm 58 and have been an electronics hobbyist my whole life. One thing I never got into was digital circuit design. I always thought I didn't know enough. That all changed recently when I was pushed to learn Altium. The bubble of doubt has burst. It's like a whole new chapter my life has opened up. You are a true inspiration. Thank you.

The best way to dispel the idea that digital components are more difficult to work with, is to remember that digital components are just made up of smaller analog components.

The reason why people can do Redstone is that they understand each component and its features, mumbo jumbo has creativity, patience and an understanding of what he is doing. So that is why he says it is easy. The same is with the Redstone of the real world but in the real world you have to understand more components, and thus it's kinda more complicated.👍 (Also just try doing Redstone it isn't too hard, just practice 30 mins per day and also watch a bunch of Redstone tutorials, and also don't watch mumbo jumbo for tutorials and start small, very small.)

If you redesigned it so it could also move side to side a small amount you could double the resolution. You could even reproduce a crt scanning technique with a single rgb pixel led if you had horizontal control as well, although you would need it to move very fast.

If you put the LEDs at the base, and then use fiber optics to transmit the light to the end, you may be able to avoid the damage that flexing the circuit causes. The coil might be eleminated by goin to another way to do a similar action... a Piezoelectric fan.

@anthonydunn729 Год назад

This is a fantastic idea. You could even incorporate parallel rows of LEDs to give images depth. The whole thing could clip to your phone and be super lightweight and compact. I really think you're onto something here, in fact I'd move fast to open source it cause a lotta companies will just say they don't like your idea then create their own version. These holograms could easily be the size of phone cases, the only limit is the time it takes a larger body to oscillate.

@stickyfox 3 года назад

It might help to focus a little behind the leds. This spreads the light out to fill in the "cracks" and helps the camera handle the dynamic range too. I've always found it tricky getting good pictures of leds.

@ExplodingWaffle101 4 года назад

its finally here! i didnt even think about portability: that opens up so many more possibilities! someone else mentioned a watch: that would be cool (maybe the shape would have to be a bit less weird) but thats just scratching the surface. i suppose having rainbows isnt on with those leds because they're too far away from each other? 3 colors is plenty though. my guess for cheaper version is having the whole thing flexi or soldering a flexi straight onto a normal pcb. i think shutter speed is what needs adjusting for flicker, if your camera can do that. its cool how you can poke the image and it remains coherent(ish) just got some magnets and halls in myself: need to get around to laying out those coils

@CarlBugeja 4 года назад

this is really smart, congratulations! such a satisfying little device! i'd love to see a larger version, and maybe try to scale it's range of motion so you can take advantage of the full 'pixel density' for more intricate graphics. a double winged version in the shape of a butterfly or hummingbird would also be a nice thing. maybe if you suspended it from a string it would pendulum nicely in a circular or otherwise repeating motion, which would make a nice mobile, and if it has a resonant frequency in that motion too, you'd have another dimension in which you can the animations. if that makes sense, haha! cant wait to see where you take it!

Once again a very cool idea and concept from you! Few things came to my mind while watching. First and most important, the next step can be 3D, now that you did 1D and 2D, if the have a 2D LED matrice, you can do some cool volumetric effect as well (even if the geometry will be weird). Second is that Flex is not required, just go for normal, think maybe 0.5mm PCB, and have your coil on it with everything. I know the mass affect the frequency and rigidity as well. What frequency works the best for you and is this prototype running at the natural oscillation freq?
