develmeiker Thank you!

hey this is an awesome project! I love the details (e.g. the time it took for you to print). The one modification I'd make here is I'm 99% sure there's no diode drop if you just chain the power and ground lines the same way as the data line. Primarily because I'm pretty sure all of the Neopixels LEDs are in parallel, not in series. This is why all of the neopixels can light up at near max brightness even when they're all still one long strip.

Very neat project. I recommend using connectors on your mains voltage wires for extra safety.

Anytime you need exact spacing with LED strips, be sure to look out for where segments got soldered together at the factory as they sometimes don't match the correct spacing. I had this mess up a project I was working on, and it took a while to figure out why.

@SuperMakeSomething

3 жыл бұрын

Good tip for sure. I’ve found that the strips I used were generally consistent, but mine did not have any manually soldered junctions in the middle of the roll.

Very inspiring! One advice I can give you is if you have your bridging settings right those parts would not need support. Saves a ton of tedious work and material. Keep it up!

@SuperMakeSomething

4 жыл бұрын

Thanks! Unfortunately the bridging distance was a bit too much for my printer to handle for these piecese based on my current settings, but you are correct that this would have saved a lot of time and material!

Hi! Awesome work! Very interesting piece. I'm looking for the STL's you had designed, I see on the github that they're "coming soon". Am I looking in the wrong place? Have you thought about using Photography diffuser cloth and creating a shadow box? I think it would save on some time but I'm not sure whether the LED's would bleed into it's adjacent light.

Wow this is super incredible! It's so hard to find tutorials not based on just a storebought LED matrix. I'm building a 600 LED matrix right now (ws2811 in series) powered by an Arduino Mega. But I can't get any matrix code to work with it; is there a way to run video or animations from a Pi directly to the data channel on the LED strips?

Really cool project! A bit out of my reach, but I think I will attempt a smaller board with less (or no) 3D printing involved.

Thank you so much! Bigger would definitely be possible, though you may run into frame rate issues without upgrading to more powerful computational hardware. The LED circuit should be scalable to use more lights as well. If you make a bigger version, please let me know!

For a holiday wreath project I found that ping pong balls make excellent LED diffusers. Use lots of venting when drilling, cutting, or sanding as they make fumes. The light quality is great though!

Great Explanation As Always! Can We Covert This Single Color To RGB?

@SuperMakeSomething

Thank you! You bet! My recommendation for this would be to add a separately power line for every row, just to make sure that the wire can source all of the current without getting too hot.

I built a panel with 2160 Neopixel LEDs，and I found the frame rate was greatly reduced becaus of a large amount of data operation for python

You got a 30A power supply but 576 LED at full white brightness is about 35A, how come?

@SuperMakeSomething

Dylan Henderson It’s true - at full white, the power supply would be marginal. That being said, the mirror is not intended to have all LEDs lit in this way at once. For something like this, I would prefer to make a large PCB (though that would get :super: expensive 😅)!

@@SuperMakeSomething thanks for being forward about that!! I'm just learning about Arduino and electrical circuits, and I'm in the process of doing underglow for my car. I happen to know it needs that much because my underglow has exactly 576 LEDs! Considering I'm new, I am worried I will accidentally set all my lights to full white brightness (maybe doing a colour wave / flash) and so I've been cautious to find power supplies with a few extra amps just in case. Fantastic video, and thanks a lot for answering me!!!!

I think that there is definitely no harm in going with a bigger power supply in your situation just in case -- unlike the mirror, there should be plenty of space somewhere in the car to store it so it is out of the way! :P Good luck with your build!
