The Teenage Engineer

The Teenage Engineer

Hi there welcome to my channel. I do a variety of things here, welding, locksport, carpentry, electronics, and most importantly engineering. I’m different from most teens as I don’t really like to sit and play video games or hang out with friends; instead I innovate and invent in my garage where I use my tools and my brain to make any idea I have come alive. I also love to do dangerous things like exploding capacitors, playing with transformers, and anything else that might involve an explosion or fire. In my shop I take safety very seriously. I am self taught with a lot of my skills, and I have a background in theatrical tech. I also love hanging out with my grandpa in his machine shop where the two of us can build just about anything. If you like explosions, fire, melting metal, electricity, locks, electronics circuits, pro audio, engineering, and learning new things join me for a wild ride. I’m also on Instagram @theteenageengineer

    I some other reviews, the test lead is not really good.. and it’s not gold plated, that’s why the continuity has a delay

  • @theteenageengineer
    @theteenageengineer2 ай бұрын

    Test leads being gold plated has nothing to do with continuity delay. Fluke’s gold plated test leads cost about $100 on their own the meter only costs $50. It’s a little ridiculous to expect gold plated and silicone sheath test leads for a $50 meter. I don’t think even the all mighty Fluke 87V comes with gold plated test leads and the 87V is a $500 meter. I’ll agree that the test leads aren’t the best in the world but they certainly aren’t the worst either. And gold plated and thin conductors or not, that has absolutely nothing to do with the continuity delay. Gold plated test leads are really only needed on the highest end of multimeters like ones that are 6 digits and above, and those don’t come in the form of handheld meters. The Fluke 110 series of multimeters are some of the most popular multimeters in the world and they come with almost the exact same nickel plated PVC sheath test leads and that doesn’t affect the continuity setting on them.

    What you’re looking at is a weeks worth of soldering, running wires, and hitting my head on beams all to make this masterpiece. It’s 40 strips of RGBW LED strip lights or about 2,800 individual LEDs. It’s all powered via 3 12 volt 20 amp power supplies and connected to 3 32 channel (8 output) generic RGBW DMX decoders/ controllers which are controlled via an ETC Ion. Not pictured is a strip of lights connected to a custom RGB LED controller I built that uses an ESP32 Wroom dev board connected to the ETC Ion over WiFi using sACN as the data protocol.

  • @theteenageengineer
    @theteenageengineer3 ай бұрын

    I don’t do any work that requires a keysight, I’ve just used keysight scopes and I know what they are capable of and I know they last forever. I’ve wanted a DSOX1204 for years but I can’t justify $1200. A Rigol would do fine for me it’s just that fact that I’m familiar with the menus on keysight scopes and there are things that come by default on a keysight you can’t get on a Rigol like more math functions, built in function generator, really good FFT and a few other functions. I wouldn’t recommend buying the FNIRSI anymore because I’ve blown the front end on mine twice and it’s missing a lot of functionality other scopes have, it really does feel like a toy compared to even a Rigol.

  • @theteenageengineer
    @theteenageengineer5 ай бұрын

    Unfortunately I don’t think so. The only way this works is because Minecraft is running locally on your computer. Roblox games require you to be connected to the internet and they don’t run locally. Artnet is a network based protocol that only works on LAN networks and not through the internet. You could maybe pull off doing artnet through the internet with port forwarding but the latency would be terrible. There’s no way to really tell the IP address of the server the game is running on for Roblox. I have done a little bit of game design for Roblox but I’m not anywhere near good enough at coding to actually make a game work like the Minecraft one even if it was possible.

    So this is 4 months too late but I have some news for you. There are people that are apparently into professional entertainment industry lighting who play roblox. If you download roblox studio (It’s completely free) start a new project, open the toolbox and search concert lighting , a few options will come up look for one that says festival concert stage. I played around with it a bit and it has a ton of moving head lights and other stuff. Supposedly it all works and is completely configurable using consoles that are in the game, I had a little trouble getting it all to work but I only tried playing around with it all for about an hour. If you’re skilled enough at coding in Lua this would probably fulfill whatever you are trying to do. Unfortunately I am not skilled enough at coding in Lua to make it all work perfectly. Like every other coding language I know, I am completely self taught so while I could theoretically do it, it would take me months or years. But if you’re dedicated enough and you are willing to put more time into learning to code than me then it’s a really fun thing to play around with. The possibilities are endless for what you can do in Roblox studio if you know how to code in Lua and you know how to use blender to make models. The only unfortunate thing is you need a decently powerful computer to make things in blender and to create really big things in Roblox studio. Although there’s a lot of stuff that already exists in Roblox studio for professional lighting that you can play around with, so you don’t really need to know how to code but if you want to make changes to things and make them work better then coding is a must.

    1.16.5 is the latest release for the theatrical mod. Try getting the local ip address or the computer you are running it on. If it’s on windows it’s under network settings and the network you’re connected to. It usually starts with 192.168. Try putting that address in ETC Nomad and the artnet interfaces in game. If that doesn’t work then windows defender/firewall might not be allowing the connection through.

    Well actually this is an old buzz box machine I converted to DC by installing a bridge rectifier. That’s the reason for the bumpy voltage and current. This welder can run 6013 just fine but really struggles with 7018 that’s due to a low open circuit voltage. This machine has about 45 volts OCV and 7018 wants closer to 60 or 70 volts OCV.

    I am not an expert, regarding the consideration of the high price, without wanting to go into detail, on the quality of the components, I do not see the chaos of the Brymen in the Fluke, perhaps the result is similar, but the engineering has a cost and it is evident visually , even to a layman, the Casio and Patek Philippe both read the time correctly...it is quite obvious that it doesn't make much sense to buy the cheapest Fluke in the category

  • @theteenageengineer
    @theteenageengineer9 ай бұрын

    Fair enough. However you did mention Brymen, Dave Jones has proven that Brymen makes meters that are of similar quality and use similar components to Fluke meters. And Brymen gets away with selling meters equivalent to Fluke models at half or a third of the cost of the Fluke. To be honest I think that a lot of the cost of Fluke meters is just paying for the brand name because they have spent decades making their brand name associated with quality. However unless you have a ton disposable income there’s absolutely no point in buying a Fluke meter unless you’re using it professionally everyday. It’s like buying Snap On tools, unless you are using them everyday all day you’re not going to get much of a return on your investment.

    ⁠​⁠@@TheFelix63I’d go with the BM235 from EEVBlog. That’s just because if it breaks Dave will actually take it back and either fix what’s wrong or if it’s not worth fixing he’ll send you a brand new one. I think one of the reasons fluke meters are so expensive is no matter how cheap the one you bought is, it’s guaranteed to be calibrated from the factory. And the more expensive ones like the 87V are easy to calibrate. For your average electronics hobbyist having a calibrated multimeter doesn’t matter but in industry having a calibrated meter does matter. I was talking with I guy I was working with a few weeks ago who was a calibration engineer at HP and Apple and he was saying that many years ago an out of calibration fluke meter that was personal property of an engineer caused a giant issue in the product they were developing. He said that his policy from then on was if you are using a meter on work projects in a lab then it gets calibrated even if it’s your personal meter.
