"Super Make Something" is a channel where I make cool stuff and show you how to make it, too!
My name is Alex and I'm a robotics Ph.D. by day and a maker always! I love making DIY projects involving 3D printing, electronics, robotics, and more. People often think that science, engineering, and technology are hard, but that doesn't have to be the case - the best way to learn is to simply get started, and there is no better way to do that than to build a project that interests you!
I believe that learning should be free to everyone, so this channel shows you how to make my DIY projects step-by-step and gives away all of the design files for free. If you are interested in learning how to make cool stuff, you've found the right place!

But most importantly, thanks for checking out my channel! Let's go Super Make Something!

Can you make a video with the full process
A current remake with aliexpress parts (so we can order them worldwide) would be really great.
@@Arsat74 All of the commercially available parts (minus the acrylic squares) are available through AliExpress! PCBs can be ordered through PCBWay.
@@SuperMakeSomething Only if you have no idea would Aliexpress links be better than Amazon. That's what I meant. Maybe offer it as an option in a blog.
"Order yours in link below" Below what? Videos are cool, but I'm looking for material order links and stl's for 3d printed parts. Are you not releasing those until your final video is ready?
@@megamattplays4903 Link for the PCB is in the video description. PCBs can be ordered now, but the 3D print files are still pending until the final video so that everything is finalized design-wise.
@@SuperMakeSomething Oh! Don’t know how I missed it. Looking forward to your updates. How many sensors did you use per dance pad? I want to get them on order since Ali Express can take awhile
@@megamattplays4903 I am using 4 arcade sensors per panel, just like at the arcade. In this circuit board design, the sensors are wired in parallel, so that stepping on any one of them will register as a button press. I also have 1 FSRs in each panel as well (though up to 4 FSRs per panel are supported, again wired in parallel via the circuit board), to have the option to use both or switch out depending on what I feel like playing on that day. :)
I identified the broken circuit by just looking at a black spot on it because I don't have a multimeter. To repair I used a small piece of aluminum paper (from the kitchen) and durex tape. It is working perfectly. Thanks for the video.
NOTE: Due to various hardware differences, some Arduino variants may not be able to handle 12V at their input. It is recommended to start with a 5V source and then slowly increase the voltage until the scanner works and your motors turn. A variable power supply is handy to test what voltage needs to be applied at the input. These can be purchased here: amzn.to/461FTrR
Sir our Arduino has shorted sir due to giving 12 volts

Full Video with time stamps and a full run down on cost. I am definitely interested in either buying one or building my own.
@@itsmejas0n It is in the works - stay tuned!
I can't wait for a full video !
Currently working on the stationary panels, so it should be playable soon! Then it’s time for the bar, but I can use a chair in the interim. 😄
I love this project and I would like to replicate it cause here, in Spain, we don´t have many places to play DDR and it could be useful to practice. I´m waiting for more videos. Nice DIY work!!
Yeah I have the exact same plan, this serie is so cool
Would be fun to have it look like one of those old school portable TVs
That would be pretty sweet!
just use 5" or 7" nextion, buttonmatrix and encoders with 1 promicro, not that hard
How close are we to a video? I can barely wait!
My Hama keyboard would not open. There was something in the middle keeping it, but i already removed the 2 screws there hidden under the keyboard. Stay away
Think about the price of that thing.
📺
Wait how did you print with a 0.6 nozzle? I can’t find a profile for it
Just bought this
Is there any creality you can thrust besides the k1?? Seriously , i need to know. Thanks
ive been using an iPhone 15 Pro Max to take pictures but my art has some warp to it. What digital camera do you use, and what lens works best?
For things like this, I usually take a photo with my iPad’s camera, making sure to take the photo straight down. I have not noticed significant warp in my photos, but you could try to adjust this using Lightroom or the warp tools in Procreate. If the drawing is in loose leaf paper, a flatbed scanner could work, too.
Watching this 8 years later, I know there's a much of software to do this more easily now, but man I'm impressed you coded this all up yourself
Thank you so much! 😊
Nice!
Dude your work is gonna be timeless. Thank you man. ❤
Thanks for watching! 🙌
Hey its been 8 years since this video was uploaded, i was wondering if i can get the measurement of the parts that u 3d print. Please I really hope that u can help me.
There is another huge drawback, besides noise: the camera lift should be moved in a semi-circle, so it can also scan the TOP of the object from seen above. This was my first thought watching this video, and the result indeed showed that the figure's top is just nearly flat. But beside of that, it demonstrates a clever way to achieve 3D scans with a very limited budget.
So...what ever happened...?
I’ve since released parts 4 and 5. You can check out the full playlist here: kzread.info/head/PLZtsEimHCFkJZeqKqxmGUpDML9EhFMFjj&feature=shared
Ohh I get a load of GFX Library errors, compiling this for the exact same hardware. Have things moved on?
Thanks for the heads up! There is definitely a possibility that the GFX library may have changed since I uploaded the video, since it is also an open source project (that is not maintained by me). Are you able to try an older version of the library (preferably the one used in the video) to see if it fixes the problem?
@@SuperMakeSomething All fixed with an older GFX library. I also ported it to use TFT_eSPI.h :-) Just need to move the audio mp3 playing to an I2S amp for better audio quality.
How can make it using 2.4 inch tft touch display
You would need to double check the compatibility for both the GFX library and the pinout for exposed pins on the PCB. It is unlikely that you would be able to surface mount the screen since it would likely have a different pinout and footprint, but you may be able to solder wires between the surface mount pads on the PCB and the screen you are trying to use. If you try this and get it working, please let me know!
Is this open hardware? 😊
IM SAYING IT, THIS IS MEGA, and my cabs were in desperate need of a new interface!
🥳🥳🥳🙌🙌🙌
This full video would be great for a capstone project at my college
Hell yeah part 5! Can't wait to see this series finished. I ended up snagged a legit DDR SuperNOVA cab so I guess I'm out of the diy pad game for now. Still it's a great year for dance gamers wanting to play at home. Glad to see so many options now be it commercial or diy solutions.
Nice! A SuperNOVA cab is an awesome pickup! Unfortunately there never seem to be any machines for sale in my area, so I had to take matters into my own hands. 😅 Enjoy your cab and thanks for watching! Part 6 is currently in production!
I'm sorry for asking this but do you have a Diagram for the PCB. I'm just starting to learn this stuff and can't afford to print a PCB just yet so I want to do this on a Breadboard. I did burned a TFT screen and a ESP32 board when hooked up the Lipo to the 3.3V pin... so i'm a little bit scared now Thank you!
Doesn't work that easy... Depending on the board you may need to install drivers for the CP2102 or CH... (Cant remember the number), it's needed so your PC knows how to communicate with your ESP32. Some boards need it, some boards don't. Furthermore some boards need to be put in "write mode" or "dev mode" so it can be written to. Otherwise there will always be an error. And last, be aware that some cables (especially cheap ones) only transfer power and not data. So change cables if it doesn't work - could be the problem you encounter
Howadays i know a couple years have passed but ESP32 and RP2040 are interesting choices since they support megabytes of flash, plenty for images and the like. The flash is external, and on RP2040 boards can usually be replaced by up to 16MB. Furthermore they don't suffer when driving the LCD via SPI unlike 8-bit Arduinos, saving pins and affording a cheaper screen subassembly. You can also multiplex screen and SD-Card via SPI and Chip Select - it also worked on 8-bit Arduino but the performance isn't great.
Agreed! Either of these two boards would be an awesome platform for a remake of this project!
Bro, actually giving out the code was a hero move. Bless you man
I’m currently working on a version 2 of this project, so stay tuned!
What slicer should I use
You Can Use OrcaSlicer Or Qidi Slicer. However, Prusa And Cura Can Be Used.
plz help! i am following this on a bread board. i keep getting the folowing in serial monito fileNo: 1 In playVideo () loop! Failed to open audio file created aFile created vFile ERROR: Failed to open .mjpeg file for reading I have tried 3 different sd card readers so thats not issue
CAN I BUILD A MINI SCREEN FOR SHARE MOBILE SCREEN THROUGH USB TYPE C TO HDMI
Love. Can’t wait to make it. How much do all of these cost? Or did u mention it and I prob missed it
PLA? Or ABS?
Either works! The motors don’t get hot enough to melt PLA in my machine, so PLA worked well for me. Your mileage may vary depending on your setup though!
