@SuperValidDesigns4 күн бұрын
Totally, the lighting desk thing is something I'm not too sure on as I dont have too much experience with that kind of hardware, but this system should be easy to incorporate with any desks that can use artnet. Other than that, the rig can be built in an analogue configuration that only uses 24 DMX channels. The tubes will be limited to one colour at a time (as opposed to individual pixels within each tube) but I used an analogue system for years prior to this V2 rig and it worked amazingly
@noahsreview13572 күн бұрын
@@SuperValidDesigns The analogue should be fairly simple to get working, most desks support artnet. My main concern would be getting the individually adressable strips working, fixtures like LED Battons work fairly well which in simple terms have the desk see each LED as seperate fixtures under the main fixture, I might be able to get something like that working with the strips, but it is hard to tell without having the hardware on hand.

Can the decoder work with any type of light ? for instance a strobe? really neat what you designed. Always wanted to try making something to the same effect as you. Years ago wanted to hold a festival, plus wanted to tour manage. Unsure if you also took wood shop or whatever it was called but the lamp project was really neat compared to the wood only projects. Years ago made a custom poker table, which I included lighting but given the time constraint...wasn't exactly able to do what I wanted with the lighting.
@SuperValidDesigns4 күн бұрын
I can definitely flash these lights enough to give a decent strobe effect but I think if you wanted a true strobe light, it would be very easy to just add an off the shelf strobe light into the dmx chain, if that answers your question

Hey Jeff, I've been intrigued by your lighting rig since the first video. Great demonstration video and killer tune too. Happy to see version 2 pixel mapped. I would've liked the focus of the demo more on the fixtures though as I couldn't visually tell if your new diffusion method (sanding) appeared smoother than the old method (parchment paper) due to everything around you being softened. I was wondering if PoE could be used instead of aviation cable. Thanks for doing what you do, us tinkerers appreciate it!
@SuperValidDesigns4 күн бұрын
Thanks so much for the kind words! I think I showed the sanded tubes a little bit clearer on the V2 Rig Rundown video that I posted back in February. The sanding method certainly does not diffuse the light as well as the parchment paper did, but with these new COB style leds, that are almost seamless without any diffusion, sanding does the trick just fine! The issue with PoE is the cable gauge, if I am correct, the gauge is usually pretty light and because the cables need to transfer enough current to operate the actual LEDs, the gauge needs to be thick enough (22awg in this case) to avoid too much voltage drop

Thanks you so much for this vidéo. There is a thing I can't undestand : Do you use the ethernet port of the octa brainboard ? In fact I would like to understand how you connect the octa system to touch designer. I watched the vidéos of the octa system but didnt find an explication of how informations come into the system. Does the octasystem has a predefined number of channels like your previous DMX decoder ? How the octa system knows you send data for 17 pixels, is there a software ? Why dont you connect the octa system with artnet, so maybe you could have multiple universes inside each port (does it's possible ?) Thanks you again !
@SuperValidDesigns4 күн бұрын
Thanks for the great questions! I'll try and address all of them here: The ethernet port is usable but I actually just used wifi in my video as it was already set up for that. I just had to go inside the WLED software which is on the actual DigOcta board to turn on Artnet Mode which lets Touch Designer Control it. WLED is also the software that lets you tell the controller how many pixels are in each fixture and what channel they are on. The dig octa can handle 2,500 pixels with up to 600 on any given channel i believe so it can certainly handle multiple universes at once. I hope that answered everything but let me know if you have more questions!

Really interested in this design! A question about programming in v2. I might have missed it in the video. Does V2 allow a DMX feed from an external console? Say I wanted to incorporate these in a much larger lighting set up. Also how difficult would it be to re-address them? Say I wanted to expand from 8 to 24, 36, plus? Not concerned about them expanding different universes, as it seems you made sure to fit 8 in a universe. Would really love to see these as features if at all possible. Thanks for the video and demo. Edit: another question in regards to the “neon light tubing” whats the max length supported per tube? Would really love to be able to craft custom client designs with this set up. Does the neon light support pixel mapping also?
@SuperValidDesigns13 күн бұрын
Great questions all around. I am not too sure what the best way to incorporate this specific rig into an existing console via DMX would be. Since this rig uses Pixels, the amount of channels required would be insane, well beyond a single universe of DMX so we are using artnet to control these currently. I dont come from a background of using DMX boards so, while I think there is probably a way to do it, I havent been able to figure out how yet. My version 1 rig, however, which used analogue LED strips was completely dmx controllable and only took up 24 channels and this new rig can be easily adapted to use the same analogue strips For the neon tube lighting, since we are using 24v, you can go pretty darn long with them. We were messing around with one fixture that was a 6 foot diameter circle, and the system was able to light the entire strip without any power injection and with no noticeable voltage drop throughout so you could get away with a fixture of almost 20 feet in length (the strips come in 16 foot lengths and we can light up the whole thing from one end). Having 8 of these long fixtures would likely require a heftier power supply though. The neon strips are indeed addressable and support pixel mapping

And the design itself 🤯 I literally sat here slack jawed in amazement. I had to double check that you were the same guy that did the lights and the litter box. Unbelievable amounts of skill and dedication. Consider me entertained AND inspired! The world needs more brilliant and creative people like you! Big love from the UK 🙌🙌🙌
Oh, and the closest is gorgeous too! With the green and brass! 👌 Love it
Your comment made my day! Really appreciate the kind words. I put a ton of time into trying to make this video entertaining while remaining informative and its comments like these that push me to continue putting extra the effort in! Thanks so much.
@@SuperValidDesigns I really appreciated all the little details. The time you spent shows 👌
DUDE! Stop!!! You’ve gotta leave some inventions for the rest of us 😂 This is incredible - I’m in awe…. AGAIN!!! Such diverse talents 🙌🙌🙌
I ain't never gonna stop! XD
hey hey hey ... look i got to be honest... i am old and dont understand alot about all this.. i have gone back and watched all you vids.. and all i can say is WOW.. the pasion you put into your work and the way you talk about what you have done is ... well is refreashing to say the least. I have a very small show on twitch, however i have been doing it for years (6 to be exact).. i am not big by no means, however i pride myself on getting and improving my show all the time. i was looking for somthing that is unique and that you cant just go and buuy of amazon... your passion will sell this. Great job, Please let me know when you sell the kits. All i am looking for is something that pluugs into the computer and reacts to the music. again i am old and not really wanting to learn stage lighting 101 ..lol i will continue to follow this channel and watch you become the next great thing... because there is no doubt it will happen. God bless you
Hey I really appreciate the great comment! Super cool you are looking to up your streaming game with some lighting! I have started selling this rig as a kit but at this time it isnt quite plug and play and the programming software I use is quite involved. you can use this rig to just react to music but it still requires quite a bit of extra work to get up and running. If you are interested in chatting more about it, you can join the discord channel here discord.gg/4EyFNZUV3B and feel free to message me directly. Happy to give you more info!
You unlocked an extra dimension!!!
Sooo.... no Narnia? Disappointing.
Ahaha I do reference Narnia a ton in the full length video!
So so so satisfying, as someone whos had to downsize their clothes over the years, this is brilliant! Great work!
I feel your pain! Downsizing is tough but I’m eager to use the new space as efficiently as possible
Immediate sub!
Thanks so much!
but its ugly
Then paint it a different color or don't buy a standing closet but some times that's not an option it's a great solution for the space
Function over form every time imo! But also they will match the kitchen cabinets off to the side so you’d probably hate those too lol
Brilliant. Very nice
Genius!!
1. I know absolutely nothing about lighting and I thought this was fascinating. Great work. 2. Your hair is awesome.
1. I'm so happy you found it interesting! Thank you! 2. You're too kind :)
Brilliant execution for both the closet and the video. Consider me inspired. Looking forward to seeing more from you.
Thanks so much! More videos to come!
i’m genuinely going to make this- this is an INCREDIBLE design
That's awesome! Let me know if you need the files for the 3d printed blueprint rack parts!
Here I am! 💕✨ I love your mix of creativity, engineering and style in your build and video. And the cats 🐈
Amazing! What impressive R&D. Bravo
Many thanks!
You have too many coats. Great vid though
Ahaha some might consider it a problem, but to be fair, half of these coats belong to my wife lol
Did you get anything for the top of the led tubes? Like a cap or anything?
The T12 Tube Guards come with little caps on either end already! I just popped one back on the top after putting the rest of the fixture together
The lighting designed hardware, video production, music production, performance, everything is done so well.
Really appreciate the kind words, thank you so much for watching!
ONLY 696 VIEWS?! omg i clicked on this thinking it had so many more. this is genius
Thanks so much!
