One thing i noticed is that if your friend has any sunscreen on their fingers when they touch the amulet, the sunscreen can potentially coat the sensor and offset the measurement.
24:45 Do you even know how the full saying goes? "A Jack-of-all-trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one." As this project so perfectly and elegantly demonstrates.
@@GirishManjunathMusic No, Stefan is pointing out that there are a few sayings that purport to be a completion of the common short version, and it's under question whether the short version is incomplete in the first place.
Yea but a trade full of jacks. Would you master the jacks or the trading of the jacks? And what kind of jacks are we talking about? And aside from the toy, how would one master a jack? Adding a master of trade is only a master until someone says “no”….
How to improve it: 1.) Use individual sensing diodes for various UV wavelengths and measure the values yourself with ADCs. 2.) Use an electronic paper display, it fits perfectly with this project. 3.) Make it solar rechargeable with a little super-capacitor. 4.) Add a quartz glass window.
@@MrPhilip796 Is it really necessary to make it the dimensions of a certain battery ? Like, what if it’s solar rechargeable with a supercapacitor for energy storage ?
@@cezarcatalin1406 I feel like it'd end up looking weird if you didn't fill out the round window of the amulet, and I mean I don't wear jewelry, but if I was to I don't think I'd wear something that looks weird as that just seems to defeat the point?
@@MrPhilip796 Ok, that’s actually a good point... maybe we can have a round epaper ? Or... maybe we can have a square amulet... OR maybe we can have an amulet like a star with 8 corners made of two squares placed at 45 degrees and that allows both a square screen and other sensors/things in the other four corners.
"if you drink this bottle, you won't even get sick -- you'll straight up DIE" - That was just perfect. The extremely dry way he said it made me laugh out loud.
ah its fun when the documentation looks good at a first look, so you develop for it, and then realise it makes no sense reminds me of a certain home server program whose example plugin the software refuses to load, and the documentation is full of "this function takes two float inputs and outputs a char. but what does it actually do? secret ;)"
Made this mistake in a systems lab class, datasheet provided information suggesting the sensor we were using was first of first order response and our best fit was a crazy second order with free integrator. Never trust the datasheet unless you have already checked the product yourself.
I've never even seen a lathe in person, but machining seems so extremely satisfying. Being able to make high quality good looking metal parts that combine form and function must make you proud.
It's really awesome getting the parts finished. There are days you spend eight hours standing at a lathe though. Also if you decide to learn metalworking because lathes chew people up if they get caught.
@@carloshernandez2561 I have seen a fair share of industrial machinery, but lathes remain the most worthy of the sign "this machine does not know the difference between metal and flesh, nor does it care." a lathe will not only kill you, it will hurt during the entire process.
I saw "UV Protection Amulet" and came over here all ready to be outraged by some more pseudoscientific bullcrap about the "energy of the universe" or something. Turns out it's actually a nice sensible sensor that should be a genuine product on the market. Honestly, you should market this.
I made a conceptually similar amulet several years ago, but no where near as elegant or attractive. I also recently made a UV detector for similar reasons, but I didn't think to make it look nice. This is why I'm subscribed to you, and not the reverse.
"It needs one more thing"... honestly thought it would get an inscription of sorts, or maybe just a nice way of presenting it as a gift, but a MANUAL?! Geniously funny, and nicely done too.
Great project! Thanks for the research with that sensor.. I got some of those here and would have expected that they actually work. I'm asking myself if the extended UV-A its measuring could be taken to extrapolate and estimate an UV-B reading. Did you consider giving the little handle longer shaft and cutting a thread? I can imaging simple M2 thread cutters would work here, or am I just overestimating the size of that? Another way could be to drill trough and solder from inside letting it flow to the outside.
Hi! I think it's still a good sensor, if we only care about direct sunlight, I just wish the documentation was better and that the calibration numbers were correct. The "proper" way to solder the join would be to use a high-temperature solder with borax flux, which doesn't go runny when it's heated. Then you can just place a small amount of solder on the join before starting, and it'll wick into place under the blowtorch. That way shouldn't even need a hole or divot in the brass, the hard solder on its own would be strong enough.
sadly the bad documentation is something a lot of these integrated (I2C/SPI) sensors have in common. I recently worked with a Bosch BME680 air quality sensor and I could not get the humidity reading to work properly. Maybe the batch I got (tested 5 units) was bad, or I have overseen something, but I could not get that register to work, even if the config registers are set the same way as the datasheet tells me to do... Same with a lot of these sensors. Sometimes they just don't work correctly.
I'm pretty new to this channel, so stop me if you've heard this before, but I can't get over how lovely your voice is. The content is great too, but I could (and let's be honest, probably will) sit here for hours just listening.
Its amazing watching the whole thing through, with in the final assembly and ad the CR2032 goes in you realise how massive the battery looks, and the whole sense of scale is finally put into perspective. This is some incredible craftsmanship.
Whenever I watch a mitxela video I go through a sequence of emotions. Fascination, lamenting that they're not more popular and finally acceptance that such sophisticated beauty is probably beyond the grasp of most people. I hope he appreciates that he brings so much joy to the few who don't find much of it in more popular content.
I am very amazed by your skills and creativity! This project combines so many disciplines and you pretty much master them all... electronics design, PC Layout, science (well, at least a bit), software (I would have written the whole thing in C, but assembler is always cool!), metal work etc. I am glad that I am subscribed to your channel, it really is a gem on UA-cam. Please don't change your format, I won't care if it takes months for a single video if it amazes me as much as this one.
It would have taken me 2 weeks just to plan just the electronics portion of the project. The fact that you did the whole thing in 2 weeks is mind boggling. Also great looking amulet. I particularly like the fact that you went with the same color LEDs. Many would be tempted to mix the colors, but your choice of just yellow/orange is a perfect match for the amulet. Nice sense of style!
Love how deep this goes into the subject. Both the machining and the electronics. I'd love for you to post more often but in the end: quality > quantity.
That is a gorgeous piece of industrial design. The fact that it requires pretty much every skill that I've personally built over a lifetime (machining materials, electronics design, soldering, software engineering, jewelry design...) pretty much puts this right into my wheelhouse, and now I want to build my own... After all, being a redhead, the sun is my natural enemy. Not one like that, however, I would loathe to copy someone's designs outright. I need to build one that has a similar function, but goes about it a completely unique way :) Unfortunately, watching this video has possibly created a bias, so I have to try to do things in a different way :D
As someone who has no substantial knowledge of the kind of work being done in the video, I’m impressed with how interesting and engaging I found it! My attention span for most UA-cam videos tends to be around 5 to 10 minutes, but I was never bored while watching this. I also found the narration both funny and informative! Really glad I discovered this channel, keep up the great work ^^
What a wonderful entertaining project! Your work kept me mesmerised for the entire duration. I hope your friend enjoys her amulet as much as I enjoyed watching you make it.
You are amazing, and don’t forget it! Absolutely blown away by your intelligence, wit, and skill. I never ever leave comments but I was truly compelled to do so after watching ❤️
You have another fan. I was hooked by your volumetric display, but this is beautiful too. My destiny finds me back in England, and now your metalworking lessons are another reason to go. Thank you for the inspiration and ingenuity.
Hey, it's me your friend thank you for gift I send you my address to ship./s This is an awesome project! Very inspiring to make my own gadget (probably 3D printed instead of machined though.) Maybe something to read ambient noise to notify me of when it's dangerously loud since I work with tools a lot. Also, thanks for sharing your frustrations with the "UVB" meter! It's killer when parts blatantly lie about what they can do! Reminds me a lot of when I was hunting for a very precise RH meter, only to find that except for expensive fogged-mirror sensors, basically nothing can get better than ±3-5%.
NICE! I've been slowly working on a project like this in my free time for fun using organic material as a resister with copper coils for a sort of manipulative electromagnet. There's so much possibility with this sort of thing. the golden age of wizardry is upon us.
Being unfamiliar with your channel, when this video popped into my recommendations and I read the title, I thought I was going to be dealing with either pseudoscience or a debunking video. Pleasantly surprised at a well grounded project video involving both machining and microelectronics.
That funky retro 8-bit into was an absolute banger holy shit I was transported to the summer, late 80's, and after using the 16-bit extension to the ISA bus to allow me the choice for an IRQ (10) and DMA (0)m channel...I reboot with crossed fingers and close my eyes as I step into a new age...the dawn of "Multimedia" rises, and a stanky, raw MIDI funky jazz/blues tune plays in 44.1 kHz mono from my Personal Computer. Holy crap, this feels like we are living in the future. Incredible. 🤟🤟🤟🔊🔊
i know nothing about eletronics, pcbs, machining and doing creative art projects. but i love this channel now. nice explanation on details :D thanks for the quality content. the pcb melt video was one of my favorites, looks like an art documentary about evolution of pcbs and ends on shroon trip (sorry, english is not my native language). edit.. 8:43 🤣😂
I watched the whole thing! BRavo. I Dont understand a single thing about IC behavior and code setting or reading. But it was fun to watch. Your narration's are awesome!
Keep up with the Brasso, and you can essentially get a mirror. I was down at Paris Island years ago, and I can not take full responsibility for it but, our trash can could be used to shave out of, that is with a straight razor. And they still used it periodically to “wake us up, so dented and shiny. I remember smelling Brasso on my hands, for a while after I left.
I can't help but feel like in the next few decades the things he makes are going to become collectors items. Regardless of obsolescence. These devices are such delightful intersection of art and science.
Nice project! I see two possible easy improvements: - high brighness green LEDs - drop of a clear epoxy over the circuit board to make it a bit more protected, but still thin enough to not cover the sensor
THIS WAS EXTREAMLY ENTERTAINING AND FUNNY. I HAD MANY LAUGHS TO GIVE AND MANY SMILES TO BEAM TOWARDS YOU ALL. I HOPE YOUR FAMILY HAS A VERY NICE CHRISTMAS
This was really great, I like your storytelling. It's fantastic how you show every little detail to your project. I'm more like the software guy but you did a little motivation in trying out getting hands on hardware :D
Great project! A nice way to spice them up is explaining things that may not be universal for everyone. I thought about this when you spoke about the DRO that for a machinist is super obvious but maybe not for everyone.
Get yourself a telescoping gage set. They are accurate and inexpensive at around $23 US for a cheap set. A more expensive set will work more smoothly, but a cheap set will still work. As for backlash, there won't be any when threading. The lead screw is spinning and you engage the half nut around it. Any backlash is immediately taken up before the carriage starts moving. The backlash on the drive screw and dial for the cross slide does matter though, so keep dealing with that. If the back gets stuck, hot glue it to a ruler or some other wrenching object. Unthread it, and then peel the glue off.
The section on the UV chip gave me flash backs to a driver I wrote for an accelerometer chip. spent weeks looking at partial documentation, and undocumented code.
Trivia: outside of the Earth's atmosphere, the true color of the sun is a shade of peachy pink. You'll never actually see it without looking through a tinted visor of some kind or via a camera which has white balance adjustments designed for normal Earth conditions, so the "true" color is not apparent.
32:19 When you include the circle (and use it with this context) its called a pentacle. basically, the symbol of protection you are talking about is the pentacle, which is a circle around a pentagram (the pentagram is just the star). Its the inverted pentacle that is associated with evil practices because of the belief that inverting symbols of protection or symbols of good would also invert their meaning. this has clashed with other ancient believes though, so its not 100%. For example, the inverted cross is used to symbolize an inverted messiah (evil messiah) but Catholics also use an inverted cross to represent St. Peter and humbleness because St Peter was crucified upside down on request that he not die the same way as Jesus. Basically, any Catholic who has studied religion for more than 5 minutes knows that a pentacle is just an ancient symbol of protection, generic faith, balance and its the inverted pentacle that is meant to portray the opposite of those things. Also it its not clear, an inverted pentacle has one point facing directly down, while the traditional pentacle has one point facing directly up. why is that? i have no idea.
Man, as a person with a very light skin color, who just had a sunburn lasting 3 days from basically half an hour of sunbathing I would totally buy this 100%!
Just a couple ideas. 1) make it solar, maybe with a battery or a cap. 2) in the lens, have it where there is three led groups, around the edge. 3) the led areas for each designated indicators are different colors. 4) as each reading gains in strength, they spread wider, and towards the center, and brightens accordingly 5) as all three meet in the center they will be separated while they indicate lowish, and start mixing the color that is the correct color as they get stronger. So if the colors was red, green, blue. Up to a point, there would be three different colors sort of fading or blending the lines but not mixing, then the center would start glowing white faintly. As the readings get stronger, to max, it would turn almost white, until it started to do a dance of red, green, and blue, with highlights of white. I am taking that with the dancing colors, an to top off with the white highlights, that sunscreen might not be enough. You might need to get indoors pretty quickly, unless you want to play the part of Dracula.
Only by the end of the video did I realize how trully tiny this creation is. Extremely impressive. I just thought the battery was really big for some reason

OMG, the parting tool! Anyone who's done it knows this. Earned you a sub.
Your skills are scary my friend. Keep up the great work.
Great project! A nice way to spice them up is explaining things that may not be universal for everyone. I thought about this when you spoke about the DRO that for a machinist is super obvious but maybe not for everyone.
I learned so much from this. And totally understand the idea of small project that... kinda got out of hand. Great work!
I love your chanel. Mixing assembly and jewelry is fantastic!
Very enjoyable video! Most impressed that you wrote a manual!
the moment you showed the tiny brass threaded lid you blew my mind!
You are very careful when drilling and cutting not to overheat the tool, I appreciate that.
The amount of effort you put into this is sbsolutely astonishing- fantastic work!
"Of course, why build one when you can build two for twice the price?"
Damn, this makes me want to go rewatch the movie Contact again
Get yourself a telescoping gage set. They are accurate and inexpensive at around $23 US for a cheap set. A more expensive set will work more smoothly, but a cheap set will still work.
As for backlash, there won't be any when threading. The lead screw is spinning and you engage the half nut around it. Any backlash is immediately taken up before the carriage starts moving.
The backlash on the drive screw and dial for the cross slide does matter though, so keep dealing with that.
If the back gets stuck, hot glue it to a ruler or some other wrenching object. Unthread it, and then peel the glue off.
35:51 the "no offense to undergraduates" is the biggest backhanded diss on the documentation
This is Technomancy: the combination of Magick and Technology, or the performance of Magick through the use of technology.
The section on the UV chip gave me flash backs to a driver I wrote for an accelerometer chip. spent weeks looking at partial documentation, and undocumented code.
Trivia: outside of the Earth's atmosphere, the true color of the sun is a shade of peachy pink. You'll never actually see it without looking through a tinted visor of some kind or via a camera which has white balance adjustments designed for normal Earth conditions, so the "true" color is not apparent.
Probably the greatest channel with no profile pic
32:19 When you include the circle (and use it with this context) its called a pentacle. basically, the symbol of protection you are talking about is the pentacle, which is a circle around a pentagram (the pentagram is just the star). Its the inverted pentacle that is associated with evil practices because of the belief that inverting symbols of protection or symbols of good would also invert their meaning. this has clashed with other ancient believes though, so its not 100%. For example, the inverted cross is used to symbolize an inverted messiah (evil messiah) but Catholics also use an inverted cross to represent St. Peter and humbleness because St Peter was crucified upside down on request that he not die the same way as Jesus.
Basically, any Catholic who has studied religion for more than 5 minutes knows that a pentacle is just an ancient symbol of protection, generic faith, balance and its the inverted pentacle that is meant to portray the opposite of those things. Also it its not clear, an inverted pentacle has one point facing directly down, while the traditional pentacle has one point facing directly up. why is that? i have no idea.
I dont know why you dont have more subs? Such a great komtent
Man, as a person with a very light skin color, who just had a sunburn lasting 3 days from basically half an hour of sunbathing I would totally buy this 100%!
When you said "cringing so hard their teeth melt" I made a strange involuntary laugh/snort sound.

I've been thinking of making a protective multi-sensor (UV, CO2/pollution, hidden camera detection, etc...)
Just a couple ideas. 1) make it solar, maybe with a battery or a cap. 2) in the lens, have it where there is three led groups, around the edge. 3) the led areas for each designated indicators are different colors. 4) as each reading gains in strength, they spread wider, and towards the center, and brightens accordingly 5) as all three meet in the center they will be separated while they indicate lowish, and start mixing the color that is the correct color as they get stronger. So if the colors was red, green, blue. Up to a point, there would be three different colors sort of fading or blending the lines but not mixing, then the center would start glowing white faintly. As the readings get stronger, to max, it would turn almost white, until it started to do a dance of red, green, and blue, with highlights of white.
I am taking that with the dancing colors, an to top off with the white highlights, that sunscreen might not be enough. You might need to get indoors pretty quickly, unless you want to play the part of Dracula.
Metals in my hands: hard
Metals in this video: SOAP
I had a very similar idea a while ago, congrats for actually pulling it off! :)
Only by the end of the video did I realize how trully tiny this creation is. Extremely impressive. I just thought the battery was really big for some reason
"mixing C and Assembly"
I started hitting my head off a wall for you when you said that
All most hypnotic watching an automatic machine that knows the exactly what it's to do.
"Why build one when you can build two..." - Ah yeah, the wife must have asked for her own! Amazing project, very inspiring
Apparently the pentagram also represents the 5 senses, so that seems fitting since its a sensor
I'm glad to see yet another amazing project - super well executed!
Easiest way to tell how well you've polished it, is to see how quickly it gets smeared with fingerprints.
