A Mini Pixel Art PC: Divoom Ditoo + 16x16 Art Overview

  • The Ditoo is a Bluetooth Smart Speaker, and it stands out for having a 16x16 pixel screen for displaying art and animations, and a 6-key mechanical keyboard - giving it a look reminiscent of a retro PC. In this video we'll take a look at it's functionality and how to create and share 16x16 pixel art using this device. Special thanks to Divoom for providing me with the Ditoo for review purposes.

I'm over 30 yo and I was playing with it and app for many days like a kid with his dream birthday gift. It boosted my creativity, it allow me a new way of learning by editing community made art in a simple way and finally made me 100% confident in 16px format which I was cool with but avoided when possible.

I quite enjoy how you breakdown everything you're doing, even the mental thoughts you go through since it's a nice way for the viewer to get into the headspace of how to do it for themselves. Even in this video which is more posed as a product review, you had some interesting insight on how to make some pixel art. For all that, I thank you! =D

      The disslike button function doesn't exist anymore for probably more then 5 years by now, well it does but as a public viewer you can't see the stats disslike and like ratio. Just the positive. Only the video owner can see this data in the "YT studio" page.
      The two main reasons why it was removed from public access are
      1 because people abused it
      2 because evil agendas that are being pushed to the masses had millions some almost billion disslikes which didn't do favors to the agenda pushers, since Google is evil in general they were forced to remove it from public view but still the option is there
      Safe to say it was mostly due to 2 and not much reason number 1
      And as for the comments in general the disslike button on them have zero function. YT is running on broken and unfinished codes for 10 years or so and they always run some agenda and make this place the worst experience possible. They never fix things the user needs but they only fix parts of what Google needs to run their crap, it always been like this and it will get only worse.
      Edit: Just to make it clear, this is not me bashing the product in the video, it's more about the OP comment about disslikes... I actually like this device in the video granted the price is bit too much, it's still creative, useful and great overall.

    This probably isn't the place to ask, but have you tried using the MicroSD slot? I bought two of these guys after watching this review, and was intrigued by its supposed MP3 player capabilities... But am having an embarrassingly difficult time actually inserting a card into the slot. I just wanna know if that's normal or not.

    • @jimdandy6408
      @jimdandy6408 4 роки тому +1

      Update: Apparently, you have to insert the MicroSD upside-down. Which is, uh... Really odd. And the MP3 browser in the companion app leaves quite a bit to be desired. It's still pretty neat as a pixel art display, and I'm actually oddly impressed that it included an MP3 player function at all, but it does seem a little half-baked in that respect.
