I stuck a fluxgate magnetometer to my finger, connected it to a wristband that feels sounds, and added a rainbow LED matrix, so I can feel electric current flowing through circuit boards and walls.
Why? Because I slammed too many cocktails and entered Hackster.io's contest to Expand the Human Experience. They sent me a Neosensory Buzz haptic wristband, and now I need to augment myself or get cut off from free hardware forever. Just a normal day in Voidstar Lab.

I know, right? It's such a useful sensor, and not even that technologically advanced. It took hours and hours of research and a lucky break to discover the sensor and the fact that it can detect DC current.

Love the theory portion. I support adding a lot of technical know-how, comedic release and puns ... lots of puns.

I love getting some background information. I had physics at university and its always nice to know on what principles a sensor functions. I think this was a good mixture!
Your channel has helped me grow confidence with my knowledge. I got into engineering, coding, electronics about a year ago and at times it all feels overwhelming and like I'm so far behind everyone else. I like how you balance the video with knowledge and pointers. I've learned a lot and look forward to seeing more from you!
Dude just found your Chanel and I can only say that you are doing an super awesome job 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 please explain everything in detail this is the only way how we (your viewers) can understand it correctly and come up with new ideas on how to use these super interesting physics 🙏🏼 thanks for sharing your knowledge will work myself through your channel ✌🏼
Love the explanations! Keep them coming!
Theory was greatly explained, feel I got a good understanding of how it works !!
i enjoyed the physical explanation of how a flux gate magnetometer works. when u said "flux gate magnetometer" i rolled my eyes, then i saw it had only 3 pins on it and you explained it
4:30 - First time hearing about a flux gate and I think you made that segment into the perfect bite size nugget of digestible information. Love the channel and I think segments like that, that help me understand how these little puzzle pieces work are a great addition. Especially for people like me that are just starting to get into the hobby.

make the thing do the thing when the thing tells the thing to do the thing so the thing *can* do the thing, *can* do the thing, not *will* do the thing. If that thing does the thing when the other thing tells it it can, then do the thing with YET ANOTHER thing so the string "done" equals "yep".

Really have been enjoying the channel a lot! I personally liked the educational part. Maybe timecode the video for code/education haters? Also sad to tell you but people with magnet implants claim to have developed a sense for magnetic fields. From what I remember they place them near nerves which supposedly enables them to gain that sense over time. I think they can only feel strong fields though.
def love the gritty technical details, especially the circuit board names, why you chose what, things like that. also the code part is stellar because that's probably the hardest of it all; programming and then putting it on a chip
Your description of the magnetometer mechanism of action was really great and I enjoyed it a lot . It was just enough, not too much or too little.
You should make one of these for ElectroBOOM. I bet he'll be shocked at your kindness.

Cool project as always. Great to see you set up that patreon, i already joined! The theory explanation in this was just fine, i'm pretty sure noone will mind a quick summary like that. Keep it up!
I'm a robotics engineer and I feel a lot of DIY videos on youtube don't take enough time to explain the theory, which is actually the part that helps the most when your debuggin a project... Very refreshing and well explained !
"Imagine musicians couldn't hear" Beethoven: "Am I a joke to you?"
Oh wow I’m early love you’re vida man
The way you presented the theory, describing it from the perspective of using various sensors, was very helpful.
How smoothly did he just flip off that wrist band CTO with the wooden hand in the back?! Hilarious! Somebody go get a bucket of ice for this epic burn 😂
By all means explain away! Your explanation saved me from going back to my college notes, I'm working on a project to sense when a motion sensor let pass current through a wire and this is exactly the device I needed. I got 3 of them!
your content is way underrated! absolutely love your videos and the edjucation kinda style. im a mechanical engineer but i know supprisingly little about electronics and this is a really fun way to learn^^
I really appreciate your use of TPU in functional prints. Fascinating material.
You're doing a better job of explaining electric fields than my lecturer's have done!
Sniffing data lines and just seeing the data pop up on your wrist sounds like an 80s hacker dream
I for one enjoyed the explanation, even at a basic level just mentioning the names of mechanisms enables me to do further research on those topics if I choose. Keep up the awesome work!
Great balance of education and project...ness. A lot of DIY/hacker/maker youtubers abandon the technical stuff as their audience grows; I hope you keep it!
I've been watching for about 3 weeks now and I actually really enjoyed the theory. I didnt understand it fully but it was enough to understand what's going on. Keep it up!
I was watching this and thinking... oh hrmm I'll add a comment suggesting a fluxgate magnetometer (thinking you were going to aim for hall sensors and larger currents) and them BAM! FLUXGATE MAGNETOMETER! This is my first Zach Freedman video. Expectations are now set HIIIIGH. I'm now following this channel with great interest!
I love the explanation stuff, as long as you keep it chill and informal like you did here!
5 stars for the education part. Really enjoyed it. Also the sensor you used is perfect for a project that I’ve been thinking about for my K40 laser. Thanks!
You explain everything wonderfully. Keep up the good work!
I loved the in-depth explanation, 10/10 thanks man
Since I'm not a cyborg yet, I have to admit something... You are the only one that I really have to concentrate and not put in 2x reading speed! Not only because you speak fast, but because you pack each sentence with a lot of good/useful information. And also because I'm a French speaker. I feel this video is a great balance between the "show" and "educational". Alex from Montréal Thumbs up as always.
This was a very entertaining watch my man thank you, I dont have a mind for the workings of electronics but I was able to follow this rather well. I appreciate the effort and humour, have a great day
your explanations are great! especially about how the chips work.
Awesome job on touching on the Electromagnetism theory Zack! Certainly makes your channel stand out from others that just go straight to "project talk". Plus I would argue that at least blowing through the theory opens up doors for people who might want to try more complicated experiments or projects. Keep up the great work!
I like knowing the "why" behind the "what" It gives information that is more useful for understanding the world in general as opposed to a specific project( as exciting an interesting as those projects are).
The physics explanations were great ! Dont jump too fast into the project :) Awesome video !

Please feel free to elaborate any and all details that you wish because your presentation and style, I feel, adds clarity and understanding to subjects that can otherwise be overwhelming and discouraging to many.

Was a great explanation of the science. As someone who wants to make more advance projects I love seeing the thought process
Whatever knowledge you miss passing on, you more than make up for in enthusiasm, which gives people the impetus to do more research on their own. Keep it up :)

You did a great job with balancing base education, entertainment, and project demo! I appreciated the explanations of how the components work a lot (Learned some new stuff as well as re-learned a couple things I can't believe I forgot 😂)
Great video! Really enjoyed the little sprinkling of technical points, helps with understanding.. Also may I suggest adding a little code walkthru at the end of the video? I enjoy those bits too :)
Dude, your videos are crazy awesome!
