It's not "cancel", it's because drawing with right button means using color 2 (so obviously, your "normal drawing", with left button, is using color 1), which is white on default. If you set color 2 to different color then you can draw in other color by using the right button. What's more astonishing, the eraser is not "erasing something off", it's just a brush with its color 1 and color 2 reversed. So by abusing color 2 you can even "erase" something to black.
@@creator-link I think that he means it's not a feature, it's not intended to cancel your line (there is an undo, who why would cancel be a feature to build into it). I think that it's just a side effect of it trying to draw in color 2 while it's already coloring and just not knowing how to handle that so it freaks out.
Pomegranate It isn’t accurate to how an actual etch a sketch works, and it can be frustrating to use in some cases. Not usually just everyday work on a pc though.
Cool project, for the future consider volume of your audio. I'm currently playing the video at 2½ times my standard volume to have you audible, and the laser cutting was louder than your narration before it, but after as loud making me drop the volume to only twice as loud as my standard volume.

Do it anyway. It will give you more ideas during the build/code as the pieces start to work together. My first etch-o-sketch (not copyrighted) was just pots on the user port of a C64. Totally useless and flawed, except for the fun of building and ideas it created.
personally, i don’t know much about the inner workings of much technology, and i’m learning along the way, i just wanted to mention that this reminds me of Evan Kales PS2 controller (essentially the same thing but it still uses start and select buttons) that used motors instead of rotary encoders because it was cheaper to recycle motors.
now if you put one of them at a 90 degree angle and use a ball to move these around, flip it all upside down so that the ball rolls over the table when you move the contraption, you are back where we started
I was kinda hoping this build was gonna be a giant etch-a-sketch with a ton of wires coming out of it. Saying I’m disappointed is a vast understatement
8:30 that's usually handled by the OS not the mouse itself (atleast i think so), in windows it's an option known as "enhance mouse precision" and basically anyone i saw online said to disable it because it's trash.
I haven't seen all of this video but these would probably work for sound voltex because the game uses two knobs and Unnamed sound voltex clone uses up/down and left/right mouse input by default.
adhesive rubber pad on the bottom for grip would have really finished the controller nicely, imo. more of a user-comfort thing than necessary for the purposes here, though
Actually this is useful for building 3D models as u have finer control on navigating the 3d environment. 3D mouses are very expensive and this might be a good starting point project.
This is very much like the very first mouse which had two wheels on the sides of a box, at a 90 degree angle. The wheels would roll as you moved the box around on a surface.
Obviously there's an issue of friction in that case, but I wonder if using smaller omni wheels undeneath the palm could solve that problem? Arrange them in a V shape to make it symmetric, and you could actually keep the encoders clean via closed wheel wells. I like this idea. I suspect we haven't bothered because it's cheaper to use an optical sensor.
interesting project, well done too I'd say. I've thought about an easier way of making one of these, using just a dissasembled ball mouse. The really old ones usually had two small rotary encoders, which could probably be replaced and used the same way as in this video. You would need some buttons added to use as Left and right click/reset if necessary. Just a thought though.
did anyone else hear 'toggle mode is enabled by holding one of the mouse buttons when plugging in the usb' and then try it on your mouse? i was disappointed to not have my mind blown , w,

9:22 the right click cancels the line your currently drawing, how many hundreds of hours i've used ms paint and never knew about this.

Now build a mouse controlling the etch a sketch
and then plug the etch a sketch controller into the etch a sketch

Very nicely done.
that stereo audio voice is hurting my brain
HOTHEAD for me it was when he said any word starting with P without a pop filter
i guess i can make a etch-sketch. device with strings and puleys, and actually work it backwards, moving the center point to move the knobs
This is basically how ball mice work if people even remember them
Some people still use them, due to masochistic tendencies.
Trackballs are still very cool in this day and age.
But ball mice are just sophisticated BDSM equipment
now if you put one of them at a 90 degree angle and use a ball to move these around, flip it all upside down so that the ball rolls over the table when you move the contraption, you are back where we started

If you put an accelerometer in there and make it a keyboard/mouse you could map picking up and shaking to ctrl+z
That is really cool.
I haven't seen all of this video but these would probably work for sound voltex because the game uses two knobs and Unnamed sound voltex clone uses up/down and left/right mouse input by default.

unrelated to the cool project but you should sample that wood burner bc the noise it makes goes hard
Nice seeing The School of Life's Alain de Botton doing something different!
nice video
Needs an accelerometer and be coded to start a new drawing when you shake it for a few seconds.
Sometimes when I need really straight mouse movements I take the ball out of an old mouse and move the little rollers.
can i get the schematic of the encoders with the leds at 0:40?
Genius!
