0.06A per LED 196*0.06a 11.5A and does not include anything else you have drawing from the same source. For those reading that assumes all LEDs on set to white. Each LED (RGB) os 0.02A and so unless you have a project that is effectively using this array as a white lamp, then you can probably cut down the power requirements. It would take some testing but if you are only lighting 55% of the LEDs at any one time and you go full power white then you can get away with something closer to 6A
Take 20mA per color per led..... Comes to 12 rows by 16 leds times 3 (led colors) times 20 mA = 11520. That is safely to say that 12 Amps is sufficient. Quite a nice calculus indeed, so you prevent from blowing a psu... By the way, I like your approach and build... Very nice indeed...
Glad you purchased your flux from Farnell I got some from China that ran out in 3 weeks and when I opened it the wick inside was only 1 inch long a real rip off loved the project very nice thanks for sharing
Really nice job! According to the datasheets the ws2812B leds draw a max current of 60mA per light, you have 192 of them which is around 12A max draw! When you tested it and your bench supply dropped to 3V I'm surprised it mangaged to even supply that!
That's 60mA if you are running each LED at pure white with full brightness. Each NeoPixel actually has three LEDs within-1 red, 1 green, 1 blue. Depending on the colors you are displaying (by mixing the RGB color) and the brightness, you can keep power draw pretty low with these. A good rule of thumb is just never go full white with full brightness.
your building this led panel inspired me to make one .i have to say thank you for the fantastic video.my panel is great and runing the rainboyw sketch is great.thanks
Is the current going to suffer from running linearly through the whole strip? Would buss bars at the sides supplying 5v and GND individually to each strip maybe help keep resistance down?
Max Current Intake = Max Current Intake by a Single LED * Total = 60mA * (16 * 11) = 0.06 * 176 A = 10.56 A (~ 11A). So recommended power supply is 5V-11A.
Hello dear friend, is there an option to make this beautiful thing you made, but with 6 strips of 5 meters each? Of course I supply the voltage externally and not through the controller? I want to do exactly like yours but with 6 strips of 6 meters each. Waiting for your reply
hi good video but from my understanding you can not push power backwards on these leds hence the reason for the arrows data power and live power would push forward only. for you to power inject you would do that half way down equaling out the power usage . i have done all of mine on a larger scale my largest is 1,476 led's matrix i power injected 2 times i used a esp32s chip and boosted the data line with a low level converter 3.3v to 5v jump as data pushes at approx 3.3v this helped with glitches as this is on a large scale works seamlessly hope this helps . My power booster is a 60amp power supply it doesn't use that much but i also use that for my led singing Christmas bulbs.
I am kind of new at this but... 16x11 = 176 "pixels". Each of the WS21812 at full-white/bright = 60ma. 176 * 60 = 10,560ma / 1000 = 10.6a. So to drive the entire board you'd probably need a 12a power supply.
@marcoNLD Note you could drive more LEDs at lower intensity... what you are calculating is peak current, which if you program your application carefully you can avoid ever hitting that.
You made my craftsmanheart cry @ 04:17. Are marking gauges that expensive?! Ok, i' send the posting to fast: You can use them as water pump pliers or a hammer for tiny nails.
Are Strips with 60 LEDs per meter? Strips with 96 LEDs per meter would be much? Is it necessary to connect the end of the last Strip to the power supply? Thank you
Can you easier connect power on the other side as Data? Than you do not have both on one side. Vor the current it is not important in wich direction it flows
To hide them. The perspex, although frosted, can still be seen through. By painting it all black except the emitter portion of the LEDs you hide it all away and can't see it.

You mean the audio? Yeah, I had a crap microphone then. I have bought a new one since, and my videos are much much clearer now. Maybe I should take the existing video and re-dub the audio? May sound a little fake and contrived then though.
the bleedin obvious bit is the gumming and soldering, which didn't need to be here. the interesting bit is the programming, which isn't here. what a waste of time!
UA-cam is not a place for programming. You can't copy and paste from a video. The programming is linked from the description if you'd only take the time to read it...
Maybe I'll do an extra video all about programming it - not that there would be much to see, all the programming is done for you in the DisplayCore libraries.

@@TheGrrson If you keep track of the number of LEDs, you can calculate the brightness to stay below 90% of your power supply rating.
Your panel is very efective cus you dont need to cut every single one.

Whare do coding??? 1 example than
Some tinted Perspex would look awesome on this now.
You need about 10A 5V. You can look in the spec sheet how much 1 led need
Umm... No. 4 amps is plenty

Do you have the fun programming part to run this panel?
Would you please make a tutorial how to build and program the controller?
Thanks
What type of wire did you you use to connect each row of LEDs?
Super cool project that sadly resulted super choppy for using one of the crappiest spray paints I've ever seen xD
And that's expensive hammerite too. Serves me right for paying extra for good paint...
100+/m would have been less fuzzy. This is 2024, not 1990's.
How do i know how much Volts and Amps i need for my 16x16 WS2812B Led Matrix?
dude nice video!! keep doing like this!!
How much current it takes?
I think very large amount of current need🧐🧐
Super. King.
Excellent

JUST NEED TO KNOW HOW MANY LED. 1 LED .05 AMP

Thanks for the info .. but what about power supply? How much current required?
Well each led require 60mA i think
12A full white

We haven't got Pound shops in Australia, can I get one from the Dollar store instead?
Nope. Gotta be a pound shop.
why didn't you paint the board before you installed the leds
Because I wanted to paint the LEDs too.
@@MajenkoTechnologies ohh, i would have sprayed the board and touched up the leds with a black perm marker.
Hola, en que parte del código se declara el pin de los datos?
PICxel strip(16*12, 0, GRB);
Sorry, that was wrong... it is in PICxel.h...
// pin control variables
uint8_t pin;
Compilation error: PICxel.h: No such file or directory ... ERROR FILE
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
you better do step by step with connection a wire?
bro the code doesn‘t work
nice channel subscribed !!!
16 x 12 x 60mA = 11A (11,000 mA)
The most important thing I was hoping to see is the program for the latter's and the connection but u skipped it 🤦♂️
The program is linked in the description. The connection is one wire.
Can you easier connect power on the other side as Data? Than you do not have both on one side. Vor the current it is not important in wich direction it flows
Could you let me know?
WHY WOULD YOU PAINT THE STRIPS????????????
Bec hes,crazy
