Probably would've been a bit easier with WLED software.
And much cheaper :D
lol yeah
The second I saw the Razer thing is was like WHYYYYYYY???? Just grab a Quinled power supply and WLED controller in one and problem solved! It supports animations, scheduling, multiple strips and Alexa integration out of the box. Costs significantly less too.
Oh and doesn’t require software on the computer! Runs in the browser or via a mobile app!
same lol@@andy_warb
This is insane. How do you not have more subscribers? I can't believe how much work you put into this. You deserve more views!
Yo dude appreciate it, I've watched your videos! This project is getting a lot of attention compared to my previous projects which so I'm excited that other makers are finding my videos 😁
Such a fun build to watch come together. Really like your style of filming, balancing fun assembly montages, the unexpected challenges and how you solved them, and creative shot editing. Such an underrated channel! Keep it up
Thank you Ian! It's s one of the reasons things take me longer than expected as I forget about having to setup cameras hahaha 😂
But I feel it's important to share the ups and downs of the process, as there are parts of making that really sucks... But in the end, the reward for perseverance speaks for itself.
All I hope is that someone watching sees that and is more encouraged to try something new!
PART 3 😁👉 ua-cam.com/video/OPZskWCoHzQ/v-deo.html
You can also catch up with Part 1 - Frame Stage 👉 ua-cam.com/video/fcHRoXYPpd0/v-deo.html
Super clever using the exposure false-color to get a more objective measure of the diffusion!
Oh Dan I kinda impressed myself lol! I was filming that scene and thought how can I quickly get a "scientific" comparison? And then remembered I use false colour when lighting the scene with the seamless backdrop. Worked incredibly well 👍
Quick one for you mate, get Signal RGB, move away from Razer controller, I've got 2 Razer, soon as I saw WLED and its SignalRGB integrations, you won't go back!
Ohhhh far out! dude I didn't see signal RGB added WLED support 😅 it was one of my early options before going down the Razer path... Well, this will make next episode interesting 🤔 lol
FREAKING INCREDIBLE! but also I can't help think like why not phillips hue, phillips also integrates with razer and has led strips :/ either way though, in-cred-i-ble
Shaun bro! Yeah so in Part 3 I'll cover some off the shelf options that are out there for anyone wanting to do it "easier" than how I did haha. There's a couple reasons I went the Razer controller way but still undecided if it was worth the multiple days of pain 😅
COB LEDs gonna give you a better effect than LEDs. Thought about that ?
Oh man didn't even think about that as a solution for inside the frame. I thought they were only plain white but just Googled then and they're RGB too 😅 not sure if they have an IC that's compatible with the razer Controller but hey I'm going to put them on my list for a future project I was stuck on, thank you!
The only reason this was complicated was the use of razers awful software lol still amazing!
Haha yeah it's not intended to run 5 meters of 60 LEDs per metre from seperate power supplies 😅 but that won't stop me!
Now I have access to their Gaming API 🤙
Its an awsome setup, and great if you like, for me it would be a little to distracting to have going while i work, but well done none the less. Cant wait to see it completed
Even with the proper tool, those Dupont connectors are a pain
hahahaha ohhhh man I have PTSD 😅
All of this for a laptop setup is insane 😭 this desk deserves a dedicated desktop pc
haha just saw your other comment realising that I'm currently building one lol!
Keep to reveal the final result... once I finish 3D printing and making it all 🤙
Aside from mad respect for this project, one of the clear take away lessons is that if you want to build a cool custom desk you will need about 3 other desks to assemble and work through the electronics build.
Yes yes yes we want to see it react in games!!! Amazing work as usual 👏🏻
You got it fam! I'll be showing some off the shelf products that can also pull off the gaming integration so might give you some ideas for the new Studio 😜
This is unbelievably sexy! Great job!!
That's a dream desk Cam. Love the sneaky lil product placement too
Haha I sent Jimmy a screenshot from that frame. Like bro the barbershop tee just looked 🔥🔥 he said might be restocking the style 🤙
Just subscribed and activated notifications cause I really wanna see how this desk will turn out, I love the inspirations like Teenage Engineering and Dieter Rams modular designs!
Well hopefully you got a Notification Today saying that PART 3 is up! 😁 ua-cam.com/video/OPZskWCoHzQ/v-deo.html
@@camshand yeah I did and clicked immediately 🍿
That looks sick. I was gonna pause the video when you started to use the razer controllers and suggest using wled instead. Now I understand why you used the razer controllers instead of wled or something similar
I would have used a Quindor Digquad… 4 channels almost unlimited segments using WLED…. A lot less wiring and soldering….
It just sucks that i completely suck at this electrical and even more the programming of such stuff, i just do not get it. I'd so want something similar, but i just cannot do it.
Cool project! How are you preventing the scratches? That material scratches like hell and could be a major issue very quickly
why not use nanoleaf products? it can mirror whats on screen, it can work with razor chroma stuff.. way easier and less cables
it has been ages since i saw a genuine smile from a UA-camr, keep it up mate.
Mate it fills me with so much joy working on these projects! Being able to share the process with people like you that appreciate it is incredible 😀
Imma stick to getting a govee light and split and reconnect it as I go. I don’t computer well.
#Accent 👍😀
“This is Bride(bright)”
“This looks even bedda”
I would like to see the cable management, possible? :D
Hey, I was wondering what soldering iron that was that you were using and if you would reccomend it??
Yo think you're the first person to ever ask about it! I think it's super cool, it's a Miniware TS80p USB-C soldering iron. I got my wife to buy it for my Birthday a year or probably 2 ago now. Have had no issues, and with the removable tip it packs away nicely.
Also takes its temp readings from the tip which was a main consideration, as cheaper irons will take a while to notice a drop in temperature when making first contact with cold metals.
I'm no expert in soldering irons but I really enjoy being able to plug it into a 12v powerbank and use it anywhere.
I am interested in knowing what tablet you are using to sketch, it looks very cool. Could provide the model and brand? and as feedback maybe you could add the cool tools and things you use in the description. But I have to say I really enjoy your videos and your creations. They inspire me!
Hi Oscar, it's awesome to hear how much you enjoy my videos 😄
The tablet I'm using for sketching is called a SUPERNOTE, I use it everyday, and have made a video about it which you can watch here 👉 ua-cam.com/video/vh35ua1dR_4/v-deo.html
This was said already so I am not going to waffle on about WLED.
What I am wondering though…why did you use the „waterproof“ LED strips with that clear silicone layer on them? No wonder those thicc bois don’t fit into the slots. The LED strips do not need to be waterproof, so why bother? The coating also doesn’t do anything as far as diffusion goes. Sure you can pry the clear coating off but that is such a hassle I wouldn’t want to do it. Is there a particular reason you chose this one instead of the one with no coating, or was this just a case of „I just took what was available“?
haha glad you saw the other responses about WLED 😅
As for the coating, since they're sliding into Aluminum extrusions, I didn't want the exposed terminals along the strip to short circuit.
This is also why I left the sticky back on the rear as that too is covering more exposed brass terminals. I could have manually cut electrical tape and wrapped it around each point between the 300 LED's.
However, in my initial tests months ago, non-waterproof silicon strips didn't sit securely in the V-Slot channel causing uneven diffusion from slight variance in positioning.
So silicon strips seemed best... until I got these thicccc boiis 😢
I don't know what you said half of the time but yes it's cool 😂😂😂
But you’ve started building a panel with physical control buttons and sliders for different purpose. But is seems like a DJ board with light 🥺 not a control panel of ship that you imagined
Nothing has changed with the control panel plans to be like a ship. The MOAD DJ desk that inspired it, it was also inspired by NASA and space ship control panels. The lights are added for gaming and fun integrations, but the controls are still coming!
nice but the depth is way too shallow for doing work on it long term, half your arms would be hanging off the table
I used to write on my pull out drawer that was even thinner! This section fits an A4 page and I've had no issues over the past month with depth and writing. However if I do, I've factored in the ability to add a pull out drawer again 😄
Awesome project!
Quick question, what’s the soldering iron you’re using?
Miniware TS80P, it's a couple years old now so there are newer models.
Might be able to find one on Amazon where you live👉 geni.us/TS80P
Otherwise Aliexpress has a good range too.
Gotta check this out with apex legends sync
You should of glued a tag to the end of the led strip with a string attached. This way you can pull the strip at same time you pushing it.
You can of saved yourself so much trouble.
You think outside the box by creating a very unique desk but then you get stuck on one thing.
Nice this is coming out sick bro
Do you have plans for this desk anywhere?
im more confused why you used leds with isolation, im not entirely sure if it will remain cool enough and doesn't damage the strip over time..
Looks cool . But impractical, will cause eye strain.
I use it at about 5% brightness for a hue when doing office work. But for gaming turn up more. And then for filming product shots I run at full brightness. It serves multiple purposes 👍
This is amazing! The LEDs diffuse perfectly under the acrylic and it looks so spacey! Next level. Also really like how you’re breaking the video up into parts, but each part still feels absolutely complete at the same time. Not easy to do and you’re knocking it out of the park
Your desk Project is how I found your channel
will "have to" leave a sub to follow the reast now! great content! :)
Hello Guy 👨. I didn’t even realize half of what you told me. This is all difficult for Me. ❤ ❤ 🎉🎉
polycarbonate is better diffuser than acrylic
interesting project
saludos desde mexico
Very cool, and right up my alley! Definitely subbing...
...but side note, this video definitely makes me grateful I'm good with microcontrollers and have a drawer full of ESP-32's haha
really cool desk. how are you going to put the audio interface and bits into the panels i couldn't find anyone else doing it
I've got a few ideas, it's going to involve a lot of 3D printing!
Surprisingly someone that actually built the MOAD with Teenage Engineering (it inspired the possibility, covered in Part 1 of this project) reached out after seeing my desk 🤩
So he might have some professional tips on re-housing tech to panels.
Either way, a lot of trial and error will get it done 👍
@camshand can't wait to see the video on how you end up doing it. looking to do something similar myself so would be very helpful :)
The controller probably uses power draw to detect the LEDs. That adapter is a clever solution.
I thought that and put a resistor over it's circuit too (you can see them on the bench in the shot) but didn't work either 😅 either way super happy I read a post on Reddit when first looking for someone doing something similar
@@camshand A resistor wouldn't change in power draw when you command the strip on the address line. That's probably the difference.
Curious about why you went with the Razer controller instead of something like WLED?
Not that I'm complaining. Been a bit of a Razer fanboy since nearly the beginning... xD I just use their mice/headphones these days though...
Most underrated tech youtuber
You should of used an esp-32 or d1 mini paired with wled because you don’t need to have you computer plugged in and any device connected to your internet can control
Yeah I addressed the hardware and software choices in part 3 👍 ua-cam.com/video/OPZskWCoHzQ/v-deo.html
@@camshand ohh I have not seen that one yet
Ahhhhh so good!
Levi dude! You'll have to see it when you're next in town 🤙 bring glasses, it's bright as F 🤣
Amazing video keep it up
The razer hub is nice, but the software is kinda disappointing, but you an use signal rgb for even better lighting features
Have you considered using WLED?
Yes for sure, would have made a lot of the wiring simpler!
However I wanted the gaming API integration from Razer's Controller so that's why I pushed through with making it work. 👍
What's that bottom white reflector plastic you used?
It's called Corflute, also used as poster board backing in signage :)
I was watching this not knowing how many men you have, and I was shocked that you have only 15k. I'm sure you will get thousands more in a short while. Keep it up man, also that desk looks sick👍
What kind of tablet you are using for you drawings?
The tablet is called a SUPERNOTE, complete game changer for my focused productivity work, you can watch a video I made about it here 👉 ua-cam.com/video/vh35ua1dR_4/v-deo.html
This is nice! Next time, have a look at WLed
I did consider it but I wanted razers gaming API 🤙 the decision to go with the razer controller will be further explained in Part 3
Such a cool project
Really cool project. Only thing that concerns me is that frosted sheet turn yellowish over time.
another solution to the limited number of addressable leds with the controller, is some led strips come in 3leds per "pixel". so you can still have a high led density for a nice diffused look, but 1/3 the amount of "pixels" needed to control.
or just use a esp32+wled
That looks sooooo good!
Dude your ideas just blow my mind, how do you come up with this stuff
For the lights specifically, I wanted a backlight surface to film tech on, similar to lightboxes artists use for tracing.
That idea blended that with the desk project to minimise having to get something extra out and being easily ready to film at my desk.
Lighting also played a key element for choosing V-Slot aluminium as the frame and then the Razer Controller came when I missed having lights react to games (that'll be further broken down in Part 3).
Thanks for watching mate 🙂🤙
@@camshand wow you're amazing, also you got great problem solving skills
What did you use for the frame?
so you could use desk as ambient light from chroma software build in
This is fantastic ❤
oh snap bro thats amazing!!!!!
Dude Ben! Mate I've been loving the 3D printing going into your latest PC builds. Very inspiring for when I get around to building my next Desktop PC 🤙
great video ! what device de you use for the sketches ?
Glad you enjoyed it! It's called a SUPERNOTE, I use it everyday, and have made a video about it 👉 ua-cam.com/video/vh35ua1dR_4/v-deo.html
Can’t wait to see the next video
Now I want an acrylic desk
what's he using to take notes?
You have so much passion in your work Cam! love to see it! The lights look incredible 👌
about those speaker stands?
Wled is the way to go here
hell yeah dude! So good
Bryan ma man! I'm looking at some fresh keeb builds that'd match well. Couple transparent options that'd absorb the light or a clear anodised aluminium build that then matches the desk frame. Oh the decisions 😅
You’re amazing bro
Nice video. Subbed, can't wait to see more.
ya know your going to far when your laptop desk has its own circuit breakers..
haha not far enough 😜 Just wait until you see the finished product 🤙
absolutely bullshit
That's impressive!! Way to go bro.
dzus scale?
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Looks epic
sick dude
Bravo
That desk is siiiick! great work man
Or you could have used an arduino or esp32 w-led...it makes much more sense to do that
It was considered but I wanted access to the Razer Gaming API which will be Part 3 🤙
@@camshand ohh okay
Great content, keep up the awesome work!
is that the zero mouse?
at 1:06
I actually designed and 3D printed the mouse myself 👉 ua-cam.com/video/L3IUgytd8IU/v-deo.html
Why not using ESP32 + WLED = Unlimited possibilities and no need for USB cables, just WIFI connection @camshand
Purely wanted the Razer Gaming API integration. Otherwise yeah would have gone that route without hesitation 👍
