Shoutout to YG for getting us in touch with Andrew! and Cheers Andrew! keep an eye out on the flip dot project early next year :)
Checkout the playlist of this years #YTMakersSecretSanta! for all of the vids. im working on a bit of documentation on this as we speak so keep a lookout, as it has all been very last minute this build hahaha
the plan is to make a screen next year out of them all so it can be multipurpose. roughly the same resolution as a gameboy per window
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER thats awesome!
If you can, rip some Pokemon Intros or something and play them on there! I think that would be hella cool!
I can't wait to see the rest of your experiments with flip dots ! I also want to make games with this type of display ;-)
But your window display is going to be epiiiic...
Hey guys... Any friend of YG is a friend of mine. Flipping awesome project 😄
@@OriginalMorningStar Oh, a fellow flipdotter ! Hi J !
you're a freak'n genius, what a great project idea!
Thanks for the screwdrivers Tony. Really thoughtful gift and my dad is extremely envious. He is coming over just to look at them haha. Thanks again
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER I'm glad I sent 2!
@@ThisOldTony Sam bought the screwdrivers home and they are absolutely wonderful. Very tactile. I was trying to persuade him to give them to me, now I’ve read this I assume 1 is for me 😂. His mum also wants a set of steak knives. Keep up the great work!
@@MrThisuldo Good on ya, Sam's dad! Oh, and thank you for letting him use your garage to build a flamethrower organ that one time!
Wait, what do you mean he's never told you he built a flamethrower organ in your garage?
@@spookyfm4879 the true of it is he waited for us to go on holiday then sent us videos of him almost setting light to the house. Neighbours loved it though! 😂😂
I've never heard someone this satisfied with the feel of a screwdriver
when u use a screwdriver that fits the heads perfectly you'll know xD
He got a little TOO excited for some audiences...
ua-cam.com/video/eVwc4DZbcoE/v-deo.html
I bought these screwdrivers after watching this.
I gotta say, I was just as satisfied!
@@Android811 nice
When Rick shows Morty true level
Out of all the secret Santa’s, yours and TOT’s presents were the best. You guys did a fantastic job thinking these through to make them personal.
Xyla's had a lot of thought put into it as well!
Those are all definitely my favorites this year (plus I also fell in *LOVE* with the leather tool/purse Jimmy -wasted on- made for that Becky gal!)🤣❤️
I honestly had no idea how amazingly engineered "flip dots" were. Seriously, that is some really optimized mechanical tech. Pretty cool!
The organ looks beautiful! The one I worked on has been complete for a while I think, I haven't been back there in some years to see. The flat screws were fun to work with to say the least 🙃
I absolutely love the flip dots. LOL Ultra low res 2-bit graphics. :D And since it retains the state when powered off - it's shares some kinship with e-ink. :)
Flippin 'eck !
So many cool things to do with 'em.
..and the sounds !! yumm.
Haha, all the numbers on the song display for the organ = A funny number - 1! I love it!
Idk why, but there is something deeply satisfying about watching those dots flip like a wave.
Omg, getting this to play "the game of life" would be awesome. Not the board game, the one done by some scientist in like the 50s or 60s
This prompted such wonderful nostalgia for one of my favorite uni projects. I turned an FPGA and an old VGA monitor into the 16-color aliexpress knockoff version of Mario Paint. With switches to control the cursor just like you used. Was it a productive use of resources? Hell no. Was it fun? Hell yes.
Started with TOT, had no idea it was apart of something larger! Over an hour later and I'm here. I hope next year you bring on more creators to extend this chain!
I used to work for Hanover.. great to see you reusing the older tech! i always loved the sounds of the flip-dot displays
I still work there, I have a bunch of the individual 'rows' on my desk for fun.
@@TheHappygreenfrog Do you have any recommendations on where to buy them in the US? The only old stock ones here are from Luminator which has very little documentation out there to control them.
This is cool! I think Family Fortunes used to use these for the board during the Monkhouse/Bygraves/Dennis era.
I could listen to that sound forever.
Woah! This screen would be perfect for snake game! Just imagine: huuuuge snake field in museum’s window
I always wondered how these signs worked. Thanks buddy 👍
This looked like a really fun build, and showed some strength of character to actually send it after completing it and it turning out so nice :D
There's some surface level similarity between this way of drawing to the display and a CRT, which should mean that that it would be possible to adapt Ben Eater's breadboard graphics card to drive this display, and that sounds like a lot of fun
I definitely want to see that. I found Ben when that exact video showed up in my recommended videos. I've got a bunch of his videos saved to playlists I need to watch.
I like how every single of these secret santa videos is like: "I have three seconds left until I have to post it."
TriMet bus cameo! I rode the 19 everyday for years ☺️
I remember those, someone did Bad Apple with them, if you're doing a whole wall that would be amazing.
🚂🎄 Excellent, Excellent, Excellent ! A trip to the UK and the Museum is being planned for the springtime ! Thank you for an excellent video ! Merry Christmas ! 🎄
Can't believe it's already been two years since I found you from this Christmas gift exchange. Very cool etch-a-sketch and Merry Christmas Sam!!!
12:21 Lol at all of the numbers on the board. All off by exactly one.
Please make a huge snake game on the museum window, once you get this up and running!
Great tools! Good luck!
The first of your videos I saw I kept saying "Why is this man shouting at me?" A long time later and i say "He's shouting because he has a huge audience and wants the bell-ends in the back to hear too." Also, if I had a pipe organ in a small room, I'd be deaf and shouting also.
the flat bladed screw drivers where originally made for working on guns the flat blade has a bit of flex so you don't over tighten a screw on a gun and ruin it . which makes them perfect for working on the big old organ
Great vid! Introduce a awesome new product and easy to understand in depth explanation.
Bitluni has done some really cool stuff to repurpose these flip dots and made some custom microcontrollers. What a great find. Looking forward to the big project.
the oscilloscope ?
Now i want to play a game of "Scamble" on a flipdot display...😁
There are so many games to play on Flip Dots !!!
Wait, LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER is doing a computer controlled project!?
These truly are dark days...
3:55 'Go to the black side?'. Surely you mean.... *The Dark Side!* 😉👍
So Wish that was coming to us! I want to participate in this one year.
Wow nice work.
This guys gonna be the new tesla he is so versed
Would be cool to play snake on it
Out of all the makers I’d want to have sam make my gift
Flippin’ ‘eck!
Hey Professor, you have yourself a very merry Christmas and a safe and happy new year and may the new year be a dam site better than the old one God bless
Snake would work great on this
You should make a flip dot snake game!
So this little board is what made all those Saints Row videos?
Beautiful gift!
Using the Belgian transport system there specifically Brussels :) 4:36
Funny that look mum no computer is linking the opposite direction as the playlist
This is great! I love flip-dots too and am kinda jealous of your motherload :D I hope I can make a wifi-connected clock/display thing out of a few in the future. Have fun with these and keep doing such amazing projects! Also if you have too much I'll take a few ;) Although shipping from the UK to Belgium might be suboptimal due to customs... And/or I should visit the museum one day :D
OMG: At 4:38 that sign is literally the text of the busses I took going to secondary school, what a coincidence! It's a small world!
Also, if you need some help getting those displays to work I might be of some use, since I'm a (although fairly young) Electronics Engineer and am also interested in all kinds of "old" display technologies :)
Xyla wins best gift award.
YES! I'm not the only person who strips wires with their teeth. :D
You should totally make a nokia style snake games using a flip dot
It would be cool to program the game Snake for the flipdots
Hey, that's a bus from my city.
I always wondered what were those weird screens on buses and other public transportation
😍
This remind me how DSP works
DLP
Ik know how.
You design a baseboard for Microchip Fubarino and add a MIDI IN/OUT port accept instead of using midi cables, you put a RJ45 socket(Ethernet).
Also and to a block of 5 dip switches on there, so each Fubarino can assume a ADDRESS.
Use via's and solder jumpers to make the connection to the Fubarino, it's much more advanced than the Arduino ATMEG328.
it has 2 AURT + USB, but also has programmable pins and many pins have double or tripple functions.
Than you can put a Fubarino on each of your flip dot board and make them behave like a single screen on your museum.
the standard Arduino Uno 8 bit will not cut it here and you probably need a Master Fubarino as well to control all, cut the image in silces and send it to each corresponding panel.
Oooo make an Etchasketch
Could you control a table tennis ball with the flip dots and "recreate" Pong?
I hope you popped into Beak Brewery while you where there!
One moment i had a 1999 flashback to the nokia 3210 and the game "snake" .
it sounds like digital buble wrap
How much is one of those flip dot units without a box, and a program to run them also as a clock, once a minute flip black and then flip time in yellow.
I loved one, since only place/room we don't have a clock is shower/sauna. Only because I haven't found waterproof clock.
And no, the flip dot clock wont be going to shower .
you need to make that nokia snake game out of that display :D
FLIP DOT TETRIS
that is all
neat
this screams snek gahm
Since flip-dots are reflecting the sun at the viewer - could they be considered "solar powered"??
Isn't that what eyesight is?
Program it to be a raycaster demo.
Rather than Ground, 5v and 10v i'd say -5v, ground and 5v.
not when using 4011's
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER fair enough
Ayy first
Id like to build these flip dots... any ideas??
Image if you could play snake on this 🤣
ok am i weird that I want to see like 600x800 board and run something like ms dos on this? lol.
Yes but - isn't an Arduino a computer? 😝
Just asking...
letz play pacman...
The comment about the display being, not meant to "work this way" was so bad ass.
What solder do you use?
what an awesome idea. thanks for the video,
💚
ToT: "these strippers are much worse than a dedicated one, much more like a pocket knife version, but should work well in a pinch"
LMNC: "WOW these are so much better than my teeth!!"
LMNK*
ey that's pronunciated "teefs"
As a 40 year EE, I've stripped wire with my teeth quite a bit.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
@@mattwerner523 I stripped wires with my teeth since I was 9. From then, my teeth are shaped like a wire stripper, with a special spot for wire with different diameters, so I can easily strip wires with almost no effort.
As a member of ToT subscriber expedition i assure you that when it comes to wire strippers, you are wrong handed, they were totally meant to be on this side, no doubt in that, there were no mistakes hidden by grinding that surface on that side.
Nope, no mistakes have ever occurred in a ToT video. He's kompletely flawless in every way.
@@Phroggster To even suggest it is inkonsiderate and frankly a little offending.
Absolutely none indeed. Also those are high quality
Beats using your teeth! 😆
@@Pouncer9000 I kan see what you did there.
Kinda wonder if it's possible to implement a USB mouse driver on the Arduino so that you can make the world's worst MS Paint.
well it will be with the museum window screens as they will be screens in essence.
best*
no, it's a host/slave system, USB. you also need a new USB jack.
but you can make a mouse, keyboard, midi controller and so with a Arduino and control your computer.
You could use I²C or SPI to make 2 Arduino communicate with other, but also that is master/slave system, UART gives some options.
I want to play flip board snake at the museum so badly
Belgian busses! 😁👍
Toni: "The wirestrippers aren't that great" LMNC: "Way better than my teeth do it" This make me chuckle. :D
Omg right. Its so hard to get out of the habit of using teeth for wires 😅
@@katherinecaldwell3753 they work so well!
Thank you Sam! We love the flip dot etch-a-sketch, lots of fun! Happy Christmas & we can't wait to see your giant flip dot wall!
-Ruth & Shawn
I just subscribed to you guys. I'm surprised I've never heard about your channel.
@@commodoresixfour7478 Well it's great to have you here!
- Ruth
🥰🥰🥰🥰
That would make an interesting daylight supercomputer panel. Possibly just randomly selecting a row and column and toggling it based on its existing state stored as a single memory bit in RAM?
I bougth my first flip dot pannels because I wanted a graphic output for my electromechanical/transistorless computer 😀
Though at about 25 instructions per second, it wouldn't qualify as "supercomputer" at all.
When are you going to enter in the secret Santa?
@@squirlboy250 Maybe I should just do it with another E-youtuber.
"That's well better that my teeth do it" 😂
yeah finally can retire the gnashers
wow the museum is gorgeous, what a great building
It's a snazzy one! Lions on top too I painted em gold
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER Until today, I had not realized the museum was protected by lions. Pure class, that! And now in gold.
I wouldn't mind staring at (and listening to) this flipdot in a dentist waiting room... So cooooooooo😎
That's the purpose of my project : GropXL ("big pixel" in English), plus you'd be able to control it with your smartphone !
You should combine your telephone exchange and have a dial-in game of snake controlled by touch tone
Mount it on the windows facing outside so people waiting to get in can play 😀
That's more or less what I suggested initially 😀
What sexaul screwdriver sounds.......check
Flip dots look amazing
Those Groans were not put on I'll have you know
Those flipdots are pretty cool. At first I thought those screwdrivers where chisels for carving wood, maybe it’s because of style of packaging and the wooden handles.
That's a perfect display for a game of "Snake"
Also, I love the sound and the anologe feel of it.
First Xyla, then Jimmy, then Becky, then Tony and now, LMNK ⚙--> LMNC. Merry Christmas 🎄
This is amazing Sam!
Cool, Sam. These displays were popular in the 1970's and 80's on game shows, like the U.S. Family Feud or Family Fortunes in the UK.
It's nice to see you can still get them for projects. I prefer the "eggcrate" displays used on the U.S. Price Is Right - some of which are still in use, even today, after decades.
Once I saw you playing around with the flip-dots I instantly thought of programming the game "snake" on the Arduino. Then you just need to connect push buttons and arrange them in a cross for up-down and left-right. Maybe an idea for another project with the flip-dots.
Snake, Tetris AND Breakout !
That is absolutely gorgeous and seriously needs to be made into a giant snake game.
My first thought
This needs to have some sort of video input to it so you can have it run Doom
I gues it's his endgame.
