Great stuff. On the diffusors, Id try printing the lower walls in black to reduce light bleed over.
I've used foil tape on the walls of diffusers. Would be fiddly on such a small piece, but still less fiddly than printing multiple colors if your printer doesn't do that.
@@ethanpschwartz Another diffusion approach is to pot the module in black casting resin then carefully sand back the top surface to the point where you're just cutting into the face of the leds. Then cover with a thin sheet of white PMA or similar. No bleed and great definition. I've done this for led encoder rings. Fiddly and messy but the results can look great.
Thank you all for the great suggestion. I will start with black lower walls, since the 3D printer has AMS unit, so switching colors is not a problem. Not quite sure how it will look like, since the white PLA is quite translucent.
The RGB Version looks really good! But personally I prefer the older Version with the normal LED's due to the higher resolution 😅
Thank you. I also prefer the older display, I thought that having a color transition animation would look cool, but I probably prefer having more pixels that are also brighter.
Amazing, keep uploading more DISPLAY videos! WE ♥ DISPLAYs !☺
Thank you!

This is an amazing project, and I love how you troubleshoot and figure out the indices of each of those LEDs and how to have them displayed as needs be. Keep it up, these are very informative in helping me on my journey with C++ and Arduino / ESP32 programming
Thank you for your nice words, I appreciate it. Good luck with your learning and projects!
@@upir_upir thanks very much. Keep it up, can't wait to see how you continue to come up with really cool projects
OUTSTANDING! Very cool work!
Thank you, I´m glad you like it!
love it! And the detail.... ir is videos like this i don't want to end and can watch countless hours of. More please!
Thank you for your nice comment!
Using rgb leds could be useful for readabilit, by making every number a diffrent color it would be way easier to tell which gear is selected. Great video. Your channel is underappreciated.
So very educational. Thank you.
You are welcome, I´m glad you like it!
Very promising project 💪🏻👍🏻
Thank you!
keep up the work 😘
Thank you!
I think the best look would be to simply print a traditional diagram on paper (black background, white shifter lines and printed gear numbers and R) of the shifter pattern just below the knob surface plexiglass, making it round and using the RGB array as backlight for the knob showing what's selected vs the others in different color, and perhaps something else when no gear is selected.
I like that idea! I´m just slightly worried about the opacity of the printer's ink; those tend to be semi-translucent, but it's definitely something worth exploring. Plus, the 5x5 LED matrix nicely aligns with the H pattern image. Thank you for your feedback.
@@upir_upir Use a laser printer. They make properly black blacks, which are also suitable for things like PCB photoresist stuff etc. The way they work is that they attract statically charged plastic dust particles onto the drum, and then the drum is rolled over the paper or transparency film, and then that is rolled between hot fuser rolls that melts the plastic dust onto the media, where what you printed essentially becomes a thin film of plastic.
There are even proper plastic transparency films that can be laser printed on, but don't use photocopier transparencies; they ruin laser printers even though the technology is pretty similar otherwise. Instead look for "laser transparency".
I think the laser transparency films just have a higher melting point, since photocopier films get molten into a sticky mess around the fuser if you try that. There's also a difference in the static attraction between photocopier and laser transparent film sheets, and the photocopier kind will also ruin the static properties of the drum of a laser printer.
great video. Cant wait to see more on this and see it working in a car !!!
Thank you, I´m glad you like it!
lets go, another video! :D
You are welcome! :)
I would recommend putting a chamfer on those locating pins, makes them easier to fit if your tolerances are a bit off.
Good point. I didn´t included those, since it was a nice tight fit right from the first print, but I will definitely keep that in mind for the next time.
this is awesome
Thank you!
yees! Keep them coming!
I will. Thank you!
Good job Guy ;oP
Thank you!
I love this project. I hope you will build a version that sits on the dashboard because no one looks at the shift stick while driving. avid fan here.
Thank you, I´m glad you like it. Hopefully the video shows enough information so you can decide where to place the display. It does not have to be inside the knob, I like how it looks, but functionality-wise, I agree that different placement would be better. I will definitely explore other options.
I've been a little too busy to send files I promised. But I will soo . I really do think you would love the seeed 6x10 rgb matrix. It's perfect for your application. Paired with a xiao, it would all fit internal of the shifter knob. I would never dream of telling you what to use, but please take 5 minutes to research it.
I have xiao already and I will surely order that display. Looks interesting and fiting everything inside is eventually my goal. Thank you for the recommendation!
❤
Thanks!
Expecting more video with fusion 360 😇
Definitely. Now that I have the 3D printer, I need to learn this tool a little bit more.
Zaujímala by ma možno integrácia do napríklad Logitech páky. Ale netuším akým spôsobom by sa snímal aktuálne zaradený stupeň na prevodovke.
Prve video zo serie, hall senzory by mohli snimat polohu paky.
Něco podobného bude v dalším videu. Snímání aktuálního stupně není úplně potřeba, plánuju to posílat přes SimHub, takže se to dost zjednoduší. Ale hall senzory je samozřejmě taky možné použít.
cool
Thank you!
I just currently watched this video and yesterday I watched the other videos of this project and now you got me. I am doing this too. Maybe it's kinda fun I guess? What if you would put the display somewhere else instead of the shift knob? I mean it's cool to have it in the shift knob, but (just talking about myself) what if you rest your hand on the shift knob and you want to know what gear you're in? So yeah I don't know what your driving style is but it's just a reminder of that.
Feel free to put the display anywhere you want. Rally drivers have the gear indicator usually right on the dashboard - and it makes a lot of sense to have it there. I though it would look nice inside the knob, but it´s more for the aesthetics, less for the function.
@@upir_upir Oh now I get it.
Oil Temp next please! :)
I might do that! :)
@@upir_upir would love that! maybe with a nano oder esp32? small oled display? 0.96 or 0.91?
@@DfensFailed Definitely a smaller arduino board, not sure about the display yet, but I have a few temp sensors and I need to find some good use for them.
@@upir_upir maybe an led bar graph? Going from Yellow to Green for optimal Oil temp, until red for dangerous level?
would it not be easier in this state of the project to use a ws2812B board, like eg the 01space C3FH4 RGB? has the ESP32C3 on one side and a 5x5 rgb matrix on the back
Probably yes. I do plan to exlpore some neopixel matrix displays soon. The suggested board looks very interesting, but I don´t know if it would fit. I will definitely try it. Thank you for the suggestion!
I did a project like this last year i designed myself a circular array of EC-10 neopixels and have the animations coded to that, i can send you the gerber or a board if you want to try that
That sounds very interesting, if you can send me that board, I would appreciate it. I have ordered a few neopixel matrix displays, but none of them are circular, they are all squares.
@@upir_upir Yeah i would love to send one over to you, what is that diameter of your gear knob insert as these boards sit at 28-29mm
@@SoulJuce That would be a perfect size. The top part is I believe around 29mm in diameter. Thank you!
@@upir_upir that would be the same size i made my digital gear knob luckily, Not sure how the mapping will go for you but il send a documentation of each pixel number location on the board that way you can map it in way it behaves like a matrix lcd, il have to dig out my platform io code and see what i did to overcome it
Looking for a Copilot inside my car, DIY AI assistant!😄
Copilot inside the knob? :)
What about a 5$ 1.3, inch ROUND oled display? wouldn't that be the obvious solution?? ?
OLED’s suffer from burn in and start to look awful after a while. They’re not the be all and end all of display technology. There’s still a lot more options out there.
Do you have some name for such display? I will take a look. Thank you!
@@upir_upirSamsung makes em for their watches and sells them on OLED marketplaces
Perhaps make the display turn red when the revs hit 6K RPM or whereever redline is. And then flash when it gets dangerous?
Yes, that´s an interesting idea!
Would be awesome to see you integrate your shift knob indicators into an actual racing game by using SimHub software.
Plus, with this RGB matrix, you'll be able to use it to not only indicate the gear but also act as a shift light to indicate when to shift gears.
That´s exactly the plan, and the topic for the next video. I´m playing with SimHub right now, should be hopefully pretty straighforward. Thank you for your suggestion.
Why not a round display? Or maybe a squarish nob
I´m testing a few round displays, trying to find the best one to use. Might record another video soon.
@@upir_upir Nice!!! Ngl I am getting my first car soon and I would love to do this to it.
Pcbway is a rip off, 20€ for the 3d printed part and 125€ for shipping.......
Yeah, just 3d print traces all along your print, do you not know how pcbs work??? Also its not their problem that it takes so much money to transfer their pcbs to the other side of the world
Hey... It's "just" a sponsorship...
That said, have you tried JLCPCB instead?
@@SkantIcYTJLC PCB is half the price and same quality lol, this guy is complaining about shipping because he only saw the absurd DHL shipping
The shipping cost is horrible, I agree, but I don´t think that PBCWay is setting those shipping prices..
2nd
okok.
first !!!!
congratulation!
Не интересно, хватит уже с бирюльками играться, давай готовый результат!!!
English please, thank you.
