Thats an awesome project, very well and neatly done. And the patterns are really well coded, probably the best of its kind project i have come across. Kudos.
Nice setup and Instructable! I have two stair cases that I really want to light up similar to what you've done. While I'm confident I'd have a blast on the build and drafting an Instructable. I lack the persuasive talent necessary to convince my wife of the merits. Thanks for sharing you efforts so that I may live vicariously!

Hey Serge, everything here is doable I guess but this adruino thing just scares me a little bit. First of all there are so many adruino uno controllers on ebay so I really don't know which one is the right one. And another thing is that bad ass programming of the controller. Is it really that simple even knowing Ive never worked with it? I mean - how hard it might be if I want only single colored led strips use? And the last thing - can you adjust the speed of them strips to light up?
Should be straight forward if you follow the instructable. Most arduino boards will work and the code is uploaded in the instructable. Just be sure to match the pins correctly. Good luck!
That’s awesome and exactly what I’m looking to do for my stairs. Do you think it would work with rug stairs or how can I mount them without kids pulling it off?
I also have carpeted stairs and I'm just about to give this a go, Im going to use 45 degree aluminium profile with diffuser. i figure I can cut the carpet where it turns at the bullnose and the profile will hold the carpet in place www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07VDSBX6B
Hi Serge, I notice on the diagram you have 16 strips but later on you say 15 * 35 which seems correct as your code is for 525, was there a change or have I missed something. I also have 16 steps but for ease I would miss the bottom one as its so low and using your code exactly as it is would help me being brand new to arduino. Great set of stairs, very impressed
nice job, I have fitted 1 neopixel strip with 137 leds under my hand rail, but I am totally new to Arduino code, is simple to change your code to utilise this , and do away with the pir sensor, thanks
Dude amazing. Question. Will it run after a power of. If my house main was switched off. Will the lighting autostart without re-entering the arduino. Thanks
DM me a video! Check this link out for fireworks! www.anirama.com/1000leds/1d-fireworks/ Alot of people have made really awesome effects. Should be able to research and find some code. Change the # or pixels and apply it to your application!
@@hollywoodfilms100its a pull down resistor. Look up pull up and pull down resistor. In other projects, it works without a pull down but I think it's a best practice. I'm not an EE so google would be able to explain it better! Having a ground and power distributor means extra wire length. Which equals more resistance and more heat!
@@SergeNiko Thanks Serge. Is the 500 OHM on the data cable green a pull down resister as well? Also very nice work, clean and magical. Good Job!. Im doing this with all my stairs in my house. Send you video when Im done.
@@hollywoodfilms100 good choice! It was also diffuse the light evenly. Yes the pull down resistor just ensure there is a clear signal and keeps communication errors to a minimum
On the instructables.com you say that you use a 5v 60A power supply, that's ~300w, you only need 180w for a full 10m length 60led/m strip. is there a reason to overpower it?
Exactly what @jackofalltrades said. After getting your required power consumption multiply it by 1.2 to prevent your PSU from overheating and failing prematurely. The more safety factor you have the less the PSU struggles providing power!
+Paul Aitchison Thanks for your interest! You can follow the following link to my instructable where I outline the entire process. I am using an arduino micro controller to process all the logic and motion sensors at the bottom and top of the stairs. www.instructables.com/id/LED-Stair-Lighting/
adam kingston I believe this is the model of the PIR sensor I used: HC-SR501. but any arduino compatible PIR sensor would work. do a search for arduino PIR sensor and you can use any of those. depending on the model, the code may need to be changed for the trigger from HIGH to LOW or vice versa. some sensors send a HIGH signal when triggered, some send a LOW signal. you can test by using a DMM on the signal pin of the sensor or just by trial and error. you have a 50/50 chance. good luck!

Thanks for the video. Just an observation, you don't really need to show us that you drill every riser, you could drill just one or two and we get that you have to do them all. Also we don't really need to watch you vacuum your stairs. Just saying that makes the vid less watchable.
@@SergeNiko Serge no disrespect dude thanks for the video much respect it's like seems like everyone needs to listen to music or they would be bored I did the same myself
@@gregorybates2748 trust me, I'd be more than happy to add a song from your Playlist! Been listening to it this morning. Just mute the video and play your own music! 🤣🤣🤣
Never said you were forcing me to do anything but that would in fact be the only way you could get anyone to do this. The LEDs aren't supposed to be aimed at the person so they can have an epileptic attack walking up the stairs. And where did you get "New Years Fireworks" from? It looks like someone gave a bunch of meth heads lite-brites.

Great work
Thanks Tone!
Nice job!! I already subscribed, but keep making videos.
excellent work....I am planning doing the same in my staircase
Wow very impressive sadly I lack the skills needed to do this my self I would need to hire you for me to have this done.
Thats insane nice man

Muy bonito y mucha música. Pero lo que realmente queremos es ver poco a poco como lo haces o que des algo de explicación. De todas formas buen trabajo
Gracias Jose! Mira a la desesperación para los instrucciones en Instructable. Bueno suerte!
Please tell me about 2 motion sensor wiring for stair with circuit diagram. Please.

Remember, 16 includes 0 to 15 positions, in Hexadecimal, if that helps.10 in Hex = 16 in Decimal! Maybe that's why?
Really nice job :)
+Tommy Doka Thank you!

www.instructables.com/id/How-to-bling-up-a-boring-staircase/ this is similar to your application. he only uses a single strand of pixels. good luck
CAN U HAVE THAT MOTION SLOWER WHEN U WALKING ON STAIRS SO THE LIGHTS ARE TURNING SLOWER ?
Yes, an easy way of doing this is by adding a delay(ms) in the loop. Replace ms by milliseconds
What types of Sensor will be used in this process?(Capacitive/Inductive or else)
Can you please share me the Arduino code which used this video
Dude amazing. Question. Will it run after a power of. If my house main was switched off. Will the lighting autostart without re-entering the arduino. Thanks

Serge on your diagram what does the 230ohm squiggle line mean to the LDR?
Serge what about a good bread terminal for all your led power and grounds to connect to instead of wiring

try using these to prevent led's from falling or pealing off www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071FT9SXK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I love the video. What lights did you use. These are exactly what I am looking for.

michael bilyeu sorry for the late response. i used neopixels ws2812 led strip, see the instructable in the description for a full write up.

You should only ever use 80%of a transformer
Exactly what @jackofalltrades said. After getting your required power consumption multiply it by 1.2 to prevent your PSU from overheating and failing prematurely. The more safety factor you have the less the PSU struggles providing power!
How do you hide wires and connect strips from one another without exposing it?
xmas tree on stairs, nice...
I really love your work! where can i buy that led lights?
Thank you, your instructables are very very helpful!
You can buy them on Ebay and save some money. See the instructables for the link and parts!
Quisiera si se puede tener el esquema de funcionamiento, y regulacion
Si, mira www.instructables.com/LED-Stair-Lighting/
donde O como le isiste para ponerlo en la corriente y como le isiste para ponerle el sensor
The power is under the stairs in the basement. The proximity sensors are in a 3d printed case one the bottom and top of the stairs.
I wish you showed the wiring process and where the cables connected this was way too fast
Check out the instructable, theres a detailed guide with schematics. Hope it help! www.instructables.com/id/LED-Stair-Lighting/
super cool
Would you install those in my house?
Nice done
MMD thank you very much!
Very cool :)
What controler did you use?
Arduino. Check out the instructable link for more details.
Can't wait to see how you got the affects to work, fade in/out etc. Did you use a module of any kind?

How much is this pls
Sir code pls
Can you use standard 12 V LED strip?
what PID sensors should I use for this application?

what did this cost you in total?
Wishi could buy a ready made kit
do you have it controlled by a switch?
Vova ******* yes, I have an arduino controlling the sensors and I the lights.
Sick!
How to make
what if the stairs are ceramics and cant access the back side ?
Andrey Garcia I would route the wire along the edge of the stairs/tile and put a bead of clear silicone chauk over the wire to secure it.
Only an Electrician with tons of Equipment can do this work.... 😫
I'm not an electrician and the tools are typical hobbies stuff that fairly affordable.
Hola donde compraste todo lo necesario ?
