    @harj-spp8547 2 роки тому +4

    You projects never disappoint, how you included the LED lights into your wifes idea, kudos lol, hope it passed her longterm approval. As some else pointed out too, you can use multiple strips on the same ESP32 and last time I read, some people run up to four, all on seperate data pins BUT there maybe a limitation of pixels to about 200 or so on each. Even having two strips on one board will save you a few pounds/dollars which all count, well especially for me lol.

    • @ChrisMaherDIY
      @ChrisMaherDIY  2 роки тому +3

      Thanks buddy! Lol she actually doesn't mind them so they get to stay! Thanks for the heads up on the fact the esp32 can control multiple strips with different pins. That would for sure be the more cost effective way of doing it! I'll have to look into that to figure out the logistics. Appreciate the info!!

  • @metal_mo
    @metal_mo 2 роки тому +2

    That looks fantastic! Now I have another project idea and still not enough time to do them all haha.
    One addition I'd have made is to remove the window trim and cut a channel in the back to run the wires through for a cleaner look.

    • @ChrisMaherDIY
      @ChrisMaherDIY  2 роки тому +2

      Thanks so much as always! That is a great idea. I did think about that but I pictured myself somehow breaking the trim while removing it and then having to replace everything. I went with the safer yet not as professional looking rout lol.

  • @dadsquatch79

    • @ChrisMaherDIY
      @ChrisMaherDIY  2 роки тому

    Love the look. One small tip, if you want to make the seams between the aluminium profile seamless, use the smaller end piece of the diffuser at the start, that way the diffuser 'links' the aluminum strips together preventing separation.

    • @ChrisMaherDIY
      @ChrisMaherDIY  2 роки тому +5

      Thanks so much! lol yeah I just used a plan for now but once all our new bedroom furniture arrives I may build a little wooden decorative box to keep everything in or the other Idea was to have a fake plant in the corner and most of those bases are hallow. I would then stick the power and controllers in the base of the plant unit (probably have to drill a few holes) and hide everything that way!

      Thanks so much! Glad you liked the project! I've never ran more than a couple strings so i'm not sure the max distance. I'm always a trial and error type of guy so I would probably just experiment with first three 5meter strips and go with more or less depending on the results. Its also going to completely depend on what your using for power and how much/often you do power injection.

      Thanks so much and thanks for the tip! I heard you could do something like that but I've never done it so I'm not entirely sure how it would be done. Is it pretty easy to do/set up? Do you know what pin you could use can it literally be almost anyone for the data output pins?

    Nice 👍🏼. One thing you could’ve done is to have identical strips for the lower part and the top one and hide the LEDs that run across the window in the window from so you can’t see their light and and then run an extra wires to the last part. This will give you seamless and identical effects on both strips. Either way it looks good.

    Please use some ferrules or cable lugs when working with screw type connectors.
    Over time these will have a better connection because they will keep the strands in place instead of pushing them outwards and loosening the screw pressure.
    On all spring loaded terminals you should NOT use ferrules as they will keep the optimal pressure and have a better connection without one.
    Please point this out in your Videos because many take this as a guide and they should know how to do it safely.
    Other than that this build looks awesome. I think I will have a few projects in the future although I will use a 12V variant due to less voltage drop over bigger distances.

I might try to build a small box to attach to the side of the wall to house everything and paint the box the same color as the wall to blend in. So we sold/gave away our furniture assuming we could just go out and buy new stuff. Little did we know everything is backordered like 3 months! So once our new bedroom stuff arrives I'll probably do a quick follow up video showing how it all looks with everything set up and decorated! My wife doesn't hate it lol. She doesn't love it like I do but I don't think I will have to take it down and start over! It actually looks super clean at night if you just have the bottom section on a soft warm white. It casts a nice glow and its not distracting at all.
