A cosplay tutorial channel that is 100% knowledge and 0% cringe? I'm in!

@Zibartas 4 года назад

Oh cringe is there, just left off camera :D

I'm trying to get back into cosplay and I was always so interested in less but never dared to do something with animated leds. The costprice for a trinket was quite high back then too but seeing this video, now I want to just to hurry and make my props so I can add lights. Thank you so much for the explanation and the links to the shops, it really helps out so much!

@EllyseaAndDolls 4 года назад

Yo, this is awesome, I don't like starting learning things like that by myself (I'm all in for learning, but !i prefer having people explaining it to me than reading and understanding half of it), so your auto generate thing is perfect and will help me learn how to do new things my self later on. And simplify my first attempts too :)

@marianojayson9834 4 года назад

Well, im fascinated now that we had these lessons and projects. I'll definitely use this for the LED lights ^w^ Btw, your vid's so cool🌸

@marianojayson9834 4 года назад

Oh yeah, is it still the same for the Arduino UNO? I already have one herw and it'll much be more cheaper if the (big blue one at the vid) Arduino is ine that i may use

@Zibartas 4 года назад

Yup!! Uno is just physically larger:D adjust the settings in the Arduino software though!

@akaikiseki9346 2 года назад

Yo, this is a hack to LED lighting and you can't convince me otherwise ! As a DEV I was ready to just go and do it all myself. I'll probably use this and tweak the end code if I can't get exactly what I want hehe !

@CaptnBeardy 4 года назад

With that cool meteor rain LED effect might i suggest you make a lightning bolt thrown by Zeus or maybe a Tesla gauntlet?

@dogwalker666 3 года назад

I have been animating LEDS and before that Bulbs long before "Programming" was an option, an ne555 and an lm3914 was good enough for KITT so it's good enough for me.

@santiagoportillos1670 4 года назад

@avatar6699 4 месяца назад

Great stuff. What would you recommend to have 2 simple leds, acting as eyes in a skull prop, blink as if they were alive (on 3-4 seconds, then off for .5 seconds, then on again, repeating infinitely)? Right now we have 2 12v UV/Purple leds (not neopixel) in our skull design but they are only constant on.

@make-outfuneral2880 4 года назад

How would you go about connecting multiple different sections of led lights and having them work in tandem or do separate animations at the same time. I’m working on a daft punk Thomas helmet that I’ve been dedicated to it for around 4 years now and this video has greatly helped me I just need to know how to do those things.

@tomference4618 Год назад

..very cool,..however, at 70, this may be beyond me. I think I may be able to build the LED wall, as a "last" project. Good on you young man, give glory to your Creator, as you inspire many with your gifts.

@jos9245 Год назад

Hello! I am pretty new in all the light staff. Can you install 2 light strips onto 1 arduino nano?

@irisbodypaint4754 Год назад

amazing thank you, just got you book 😍 but still dont understand how many led i can use on such a circut?? here you say 50 leds so would little more than 1 meter (using 60led per meter) it quite little i would say?? i dont see in your book how you do runn your bigger project? how many batteries you use ??

Can i use 12v addressable led strip on arduino nano?

Put what if I want the LEDs to turn on while I'm on stage? Is there a video where you can show us now to install a switch?

@turtlegaming9355 3 года назад

how do you extend it to multiple leds do you just soder it

@itsnerfordartzone5156 Год назад

So I had an idea to make an RGB LED bicycle frame with RGB LED strips and then I wondered what do I use to diffuse light. Also for that I think I'd need a bit more power than a power bank so what do I use for energy that is rechargeable? What is the best to use, any tips?

@quemeese 6 месяцев назад

I went to the program to see about setting up what I want to do. but I didn't find where to do the color (I want it all white). I have SK6812 RGBW LED strip. I want to do a sword where the edge of the sword will light starting at the hilt and go to the tip of the sword. once lit, it would all stay on. also didn't see any option for that. I did see where I could have the lights move, but to light all then stay on, I didn't know what to do. it this something you are set up to help me with? or can you direct me where to go? thank you so much for your videos, I have already learned from them and appreciate your work!

@charlotteholloway7462 3 года назад

I am absolutely useless with electronics, is there a way to make string lights (light mini Christmas tree lights) so that each individual light lights up in a certain pattern? I’m wanting to use LEDs on a stranger things cake, on a tier that looks like the light up alphabet thing and have it spell out things, is that actually possible? TIA ❤️

@szabolcskatai7659 3 года назад

Absolutely amazing work on these videos Ziartas. I am personally not a cosplayer but a light painter who likes to create his own tools. Looking to create a light painting stick with the 144led / m and control with the Arduino mini. Do you think the mini would be a good enough option or need to step up to a pro? Iam a beginner with led codding so do not want to go over the top with my first build. :D Thanks for your answer and keep up the good work!!

@Zibartas 3 года назад

Aw thanks man!! Mini - you mean this www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/ArduinoMini ? I'd go for a Nano to be honest :)

@PedroGameiro 3 месяца назад

Im new to this, its one arduino nano per strip led or can I connect several LED strips to an Arduino nano?

@Zibartas 3 месяца назад

If you want multiple things happening at once - you need to connect strips to separate pins. There is a limited amount of PWM capable pins - the bigger the Arduino the more pins it has - so it can do more different animations at the same time. That's the software part. Hardware part - if you just want a lot of strips performing the same animation - just connect them in parallel (same +, - and DATA). Arduino doesn't know if there's 1, or 5, or 125 strips connected to it, it's just pushing out the same signal ✌️

@fangdrag Год назад

Does this Adafruit Neopixel library code run with any LED strip?

@Zibartas Год назад

Well, yeah, the addressable WS2812 based ones are all the same + it supports some others. Check documentation if you are using something exotic :)

@eross21 11 месяцев назад

so the code gets loaded to the nano. and it’s just saved in there. so all i have to do is hit a button and it will trigger it?

@Zibartas 11 месяцев назад

By default code just starts once the Arduino is powered on - you need to add any additional functionality like button presses and other stuff yourself:)

@Ryxxi_makes 4 года назад

Hi , same pinout for pro micro ? thankyou!

@Zibartas 4 года назад
