Hi Jabrils i would really encourage you to continue doing stuff like this, you have mentored a lot of people bro (Well at least i am sure there is my brother and I). Watching every video you make just gives me a lot of encouragement and determination. Thanks man.
Just want to say you inspired me to write my own neural network from scratch. Still trying to improve the ugly code but at least you have to start from somewhere. Thanks!
Same. I made the Hello World equivalent. I didn't understand how the code was working fully, so I just skipped it for now, and decided to make an obstacle course solver using a genetic algorithm.
Studying Robotics at Uni means I thoroughly enjoyed seeing your progression on this build. I'm currently modelling and designing small swarm robots, which work together to form shapes. The code is done (that is my skill set; everyone in my year comes to me for code help), but the electronics is where I fall behind, so having a separate project to work on at my own pace is really really enjoyable and beneficial to my learning.
This is why companies have separate departments. You don't have to be amazing at everything but helps to know a little. I guarantee you there will be someone on your course that is pretty damn cool at electronics, maybe you trade some code for their work ;)
14:00 i am sorta an electronics artist, what you just did it called crimping. by using a connector that is made for crimping, and a crimping tool. you can pinch a wire into a connector, there for holding it snug into whatever manner of connector you have. with some metal, the electricity in the wire will flow into and outof you connector.
at first i was like "i wonder if he's seen the mark roper video" appreciate your outlook on learning too dude! more people need to be tackling what interests them, no matter how crazy it looks.
btw, only thing I would change, is I would order some Arcade buttons from adafruit or amazon and use those to press and you would be super happy I am sure.
I'm so glad you made this video which includes all of your mishaps. It makes me feel better about my projects and how many times I've had to bend over backwards just to get to the end result. Thank you!!
Hey @Jabrils I just wanted to let you know, that I recently discovered your channel, and have been watching all of your videos. I have been programming games for a while (I even took a bachelor for game design many years ago), but for the last year or so I have had no motivation or drive to do so, all my positivity towards games and development was gone. The only reason I even considered getting back into game development was as a way to make money. But your videos have changed that. Your amazing attitude and positivity have really rekindled the passion of developing software, games or really anything for that matter! Thank you so much and keep up the great work! Always looking forward to your next video. Cheers!
I'm not crying! There's something in my eye! Balder, thanks for sharing this man, I wish you all the best with restoring your passion for CS! 🤓 - Jabril
I took a digital electronics class in high school and learned all about that wiring stuff. You don't need male to female wire connectors. You just get a wire stripper and take the plastic off the end and stick it in the breadboard.
dude, that music is from gran turismo on ps2, concept cars to be exact! I spent so much time shaving seconds off in endless! i was still in grade school! life was good!
Your channel is gold! Equally entertaining and inspiring. Really glad I subbed. The fact you do projects and videos is crazy! The world needs more Jabrils! lol
Dude this is awesome. I really like your video style of talking in the background and you reacting and/or eating. It adds to a really great video. Also I enjoyed Majora's Mask theme in there :)
Congrats, Jabrils! Getting to know new things, specially in different fields in certainly really rewarding! I remember when I had my first contact with programming and I was similarly in awe :D. Good luck with electronics, if you do want to get more into it.
Hey Jabrils! Awesome video. :) Couple suggestions: Use leaded rosin-core solder and a proper iron, not a soldering gun. Much easier. Instead of trying to solder the female end of the jumper wire, cut it off and deisolate it with a pair of wire cutters, twist the wires and then solder that. HMU, can show you a lot about electronics if you want. :)
The dinger sound in the video makes me think you should make a mod the game game box with a little buzzer or speaker to make a similar sound when people score points and to display score. Might add a new level of interactivity.
Gotta love a software guy trying to do actual hardware stuff. If only I knew the software and programming stuff this dude knows, I'd be unstoppable Pinky
Just a note, you probably didn't heat up the wire and connecting pin on the button for the solder to stick to it. Also, I typically use flux-fused tin so I don't have to put on extra flux.
Tbh I study electronics in school im about to get my degree and I thought it wasnt that exciting and not that cool because my dream was Software engineering but after this video it got me a bit exited so thank you for making me happy!!! btw after a while it isnt that fun you get used to it really fast I wish I was you....
Me laughing my ass off watching him struggling with resistors. Reminds me the time when I used to shrug off that color code thing. Then I found a Multimeter. Life got easy. XD
takes me back to when i firsat started doin this kind of stuff yup oh and yiou got solder and flux for kitchenware and that kind of stuff bro you gotta get the one next to that specifically made for electronics
Black 0 Brown 1 Red 2 Orange 3 Yellow 4 Green 5 Violet 7 Gray 8 White 9 Thre colours resistors have a 4th stripe that can be gold or silver for 10% or 5% tolerance that myst be placed at your right. Then you look at the colors and the firs color says the first number of the value and the second the second number. The third color says how mani zeroes must follow the two numbers
3:45 i am a big amateur of programming and creating electronic object so this is why I’m asking this question : Do you need an arduino to make your object work ? Because I don’t see one in the materials you’ve got
“Maker’s DisneyLand” is accurate 😂 It’s the equivalent of walking into the park and seeing Mickey Mouse except the PC parts are basically the Disney Character, and you’re running over there cuz you fried your motherboard while building a new rig. Oh wait, only me? Damn.
Hey Jabrils - What do you do for a job? I'm very similar to you - Always looking for new projects to extend my knowlege in computering - but this is only in the weekend or when I have time off from work. It almost seems like your job is to just make projects. Thats awesome!!
Just so you can learn, technically the raspberry is not a micro controller. It is a mini computer or as it is technically called a system on a chip or soc. A micro controller is a much simpler device.
Jabrils Hey! I love this video; the game looks super cool and the idea was just so creative! I am looking for a cool project to do for my CIS5 class - this would be perfect, as it incorporates everything we have learned so far (rudimentary ((for me at least, you seem to know what you're doing quite well!)) coding in Python and LED lights) - would it be okay if I used this idea? I'll of course mention you as the original creator, and I would be using my own code to build it - but I just wanted to make sure that I get the okay from the original mastermind himself!
That was lit🔥 boi... You should try adding a speaker at the side with some arcade additive game and it would be the best home made arcade game ever.📢🕹 Looking forward to seeing more videos like this.☮ (Good competition for tikernut🛎)
