I am studying electrical engineering in germany. Electronics where my least favorite part of my studies. However i came to your videos for an assignement and got absolutely hooked. It's absolutely amazing how you make your own circuits for the projects you want to accomplish and you are a great inspiration for me. Now i can see the connections to the calculations and schematics we learned and how to use them in real life. Thank you so much.
@GreatScott! i just got a ESP8266 and tried it out. was grinning like a 5 year old when i managed to get the inbuilt led to blink over blynk:) did not believe how easy it was :) now I can control a small LED from all over the world! what a time to be alive hehe
The Blynk application on your Smartphone allowes you to control it from any spot on earth as long as you are connected to the internet. On the esp8266, the software connects to the WiFI of your home. The unique Key it generates makes it controllable.
Previously bought the exact same wifi board but don't know what to do with 😂 this is the only video with clear esp8266 project instruction I've ever seen Thanks so much 😀
hey man, your intuitive understanding of electronics is amazing! i was an electrical engineer in college and never had that kind of understanding... probably why i ended up a software engineer.
Presentation skills through the roof! Watched without audio and your editing skills told the story completely. I did a similar project with the hc05 and android studio. 👍 Blynk sliders look a lot nicer! 👍👍
I had done some similar project back 10 months when I got my hands on my NodeMCU... I used Blynk and 2×2 relay board to control mains switchboard from internet... It worked... I tested It when I was in Japan and the NodeMCU was at my home in India....
Good job! The constant current drive circuits were a nice touch. Only thing I'd be concerned about would be the heat dissipation; that enclosure looks like it gets pretty hot inside
The value of those sliders should be normalized to range from 0 - 255, which will allows you to easily grab any RGB/HEX color value that you like and set it on the lamp.
Great video!!! I've ordered a few of those ESP8266 and I'm glad you decided to make a few video about this. I just hope it will be as easy with the esp8266-01 black.
I was actually trying to use wood filament for the project. But the print failed a couple of times and since one print takes around 9 hours, I had to go with brown PLA.
GreatScott! I just got my things i.e 3d printer nodemcu now know everything about it and blynk but i ordered both 10w and 50w led can this circuit run 50w as voltage ratting is same?
@@greatscottlab Hey sir I want to make same rgb lamp like yours, but I want to use 50watt rgb led chip, so what should I do, what resistor value should I use and what voltage power supply should I use. Sir plz reply fast. I am waiting for your reply
For the constant current driving circuit I would have used the MOSFET in its linear region. By doing this, there is no need for the MOSFET driver and the second opamp. Also, you wouldn't have to worry about noise from the fast rising currents interfering with other parts of the circuit.
This is so great. I learn something every time I watch one of your videos. I’ve been trying to figure a lot of this out and you just helped me skip about a year. :-) You really are a huge help, I’m starting this right away when I’m finishing writing this... thanks! You Rock!
11:30 Some people are so genius that when problem accours, they solve it so nicely that... Just have a look how perfectly those 3 inductors meet the length of the heatsink❤️
This video was really good, i always look forward to your videos and i am never wrong to do so. The quality of your videos somehow keeps getting better with every video you post! Good job
Verry nice project :-) I myself are a Mechatronik Student. And your videos have been some kind of inpiration to do so :-) i am in the 1st semester atm and i hope to be able to create such cool projects myself in the future :-)
Awesome lamp, I'd use a RGBW LED to get more pure whites if I ever did that project, would be really easy to do with this circuitry since it's so modular in its design. :)
I couldn't get my esp8266 to work... I tried for 2 days but somehow you always come up with the right video 😉(only problem being I am having problems s with programming the 01 version)
GreatScott! You're the Only channel I've Ever seen use hot glue in a way that isn't trashy and terrible! This was another wonderful project you've added to your collection! Thank you for always creating such awesome things :D ....I was wondering if you've thought about using an acetone vapor bath to smooth out your printed parts? Best of luck to you, tschüß!
I can buy lamps with many colours with command to control them included for lesst than 10€ in stores, but damm, this project is way more interesting!!! :D
Ich hab mir auch ein esp8266 gekauft und überhaupt nicht kapiert wie ich das ding ins Internet bekomme, dank deinem Video hab ich es endlich hin bekommen,vielen dank, like und Abbo hab ich natürlich da gelassen.
wow, its weird how all of this the size of a lighter today :), well, i was a teen in the 90's so from VHS to micro SD :D, i wonder what we will see in the next 20 years.
2 things: 1. Get fusion 360, I switched from 123 designing and it's so much more fun to work with because you can change something about your design without having to do everything over. 2. Get som super fine sand paper (5000 grit) and sand the 3d printed housing, I bought a range of different values on Aliexpress, and the things I have sanded are ridiculously smooth. Wetsanding gives the best result btw.
OMG, I just built a slightly different version of this before you uploaded this video XD. Almost the exact same components, I even used blynk. I like the 3D printed housing though. I made my housing out of some wood that I laser cut and some transparent PLA on the 3D printer.
Hey since you built something similar you might help me out. I am also trying to build this project but somehow the constant current circuit won't really work on me. I first tried to use the lm358p at 12V to skip the TC4420, but the amplification ist way off. I need an amplification of around 200 to stay below the 300mA. If I use the TC4420 the current suddenly jumps from around 60mA to the current limit of my supply. I am not sure where the problem is.
led rgb light bulbs exist, 4€ where i live (also remote controlled and im pretty sure if you have a phone with a IR blaster that works too) combine that with a nice little 6€ light much easier and im sure its cheaper since the led itself is 6$ and the heatsink is like 10$ also to add in solder, all your time and work, honestly not worth it (not throwing hate, i love all the hard work and editing
I remember him before he used adriouno so much cooler circuits and I appreciated the challenge of the higher complexity circuits I miss that however he still does a great job with attached programs and working adriouno and now esp chips I'm just not a code junkie congratulations for 600something k subs
JustGame I will say as far as code for I did hear about voice command software for adriouno some where I don't remember where but apparently it worked really well can't you use C++ on adriouno?
Only if you want to be a hobbyist, or copy-paste guy. Every engineer will laugh... Perfboards, gluegun, wire management mess etc. On the other side the "design" of circuits is quite clever. I dont judge but as a long time viewer I think its good time to jump to new level.
If you're an engineer you will manage to create a PCB on your own :-) I've made dozens of PCB boards and I don't expect details - only inspiration. It is the main reason for subscribing :-)

update: i can now measure the pressure and temperature in my room from all over the world:)
Can i have a small clarification on the 'All over the world'? How? You connected it to some server ? I seriously asking because i am interested .

The penmanship is very impressive, quite a rare skill to have. Good videos. Thank you Mr Scott.

Blynk sliders look a lot nicer! 👍👍
Thanks for the feedback ;-)
did u need a logic level converter
Just a voltage divider with 2 resistors!
I had done some similar project back 10 months when I got my hands on my NodeMCU... I used Blynk and 2×2 relay board to control mains switchboard from internet... It worked... I tested It when I was in Japan and the NodeMCU was at my home in India....
the thing about ur channel is that you show us always the is the best approach :! i'm a huge fan of ur work
Explaining of how do whole circuit works is the best part of video for me. Thanks alot.
That soldering is just so beautiful...
Good job! The constant current drive circuits were a nice touch. Only thing I'd be concerned about would be the heat dissipation; that enclosure looks like it gets pretty hot inside
Been using the Blynk app for almost over two years. It's totally reliable and fits such projects just nicely :)
I "Like" this video as soon as I watch the intro. It's never enough projects with LED.
LEDs surely are fascinating ;-)
the coolest project so far in my opinion !!! This is so satisfying !
You dont know how much your videos are helping me learn arduino , thanks a lot for your work
Great idea of that constant current circuit Sir...loved it a lot..excellent design
Thank you
The value of those sliders should be normalized to range from 0 - 255, which will allows you to easily grab any RGB/HEX color value that you like and set it on the lamp.

I would say that this is the first GreatScott! video that I completely understood. I think I am leveling up now. :D

Linear region means lots of heat.

Nice subtle "I have a Switch" scene.
I liked how your oscilloscope traces were also RGB :) you have such cool toys!
Hands down man that lamp not just looks great but also lights great😃
Awesome project! Thank you for going over the schematic in great detail so we can fully understand it!
No problem ;-)
@@greatscottlab but where are the capacitors that you used on breadboard. Is there any need of them or not??
Awesome video, I think its fantastic that you go the theory behind the components and the circruit design. Keep up the good work! :)
Haven't seen you a long time.... everytime a great information to pick up here. Awesome!

It is way easier to use those addressable LEDs ,but the video was great. Learnt a lot.

Can't wait to see Great Scott on Floatplane :)
Very nice and clear demo.....Thanks for sharing you hard work and ideas.
you're the descendant of great geniuses.
Really fantastic work, man. Beautiful lamp!
Thank you :-)
Woah. I was just doing this same project with a desklamp, I put in neopixels and a esp8266. Thats quite a coincidence.
True
You videos are the best.... Good job!
Very nice! Looks great!
Great video as always
I'd love to see a similar video using wifi and an app to control addressable rgb led strip lighting! Keep up the good work
that is SO lit!

+CaptainJohn Thank you :-)
awesome as always....
Nice and easy to understand video. Hope you can do a ESP8266 beginners guide video as well 😀
Nice project. Maybe you should make some holes in your lamp for air circulation.
The brown enclosure makes it have a 70s feel, I think it'd do better with a bright colour or even White
Superb project Scott. :)
Great video. You should do a video covering how touchscreens work, and perhaps do a project with a DIY touchscreen, like a smart mirror.
Awesome project.

I build pretty much the same thing 4 months ago...Just with an LED-Strip and ZeRGBa in Blynk :)
Exact? It's not the 'exact same thing' because you were not using 10W output LED.
cool project. love it, you should patent and sell this idea to a lighting company.

Awesome video !!
nce work great scott i wish you make more projects
Your channel are.... Prefection omaygad
Nice video!
you could select node mcu instead of esp8266 in the blynk app, and when setting up the sliders you could turn off "send on release".
Wow got an Xmas present idea for my sister :D
You should have used darlington BJT-s for this project...no need for mosfet drivers, and circuit gets even more compact
I don't believe MOSFET drivers are a necessity in this case at all - there is no need to switch the MOSFETs very quickly.
Great Scott !! Great....I admire all your projects but only some are having commercial value. Do some project having market potential.
I always love your videos. Please can you explain more about circuit working in detail in your videos. That would help more.
Can you create arduino cnc ?
Grbl is an Arduino Cnc
I like the one from Bruh home Automation more. It communicates with MQTT and uses a raspberry Pi
This is so cool!
You shoud start making your own pcbs on cnc router. Projects will look much more pro than now.
Przemek Potyra hell yeah
He actually shouldn't do that, because this way it is easier for people to copy his components placement if they want to build the same projects.
True, but I think handmade circuits motivate viewers to create something on their own.
