Pixel Dust on RGB Matrix displays

[@bill392]

In 1975 when I was 12, I made an LED blink with a 555 chip and I thought I was smart. Now this happens. I guess we've come a long way since then. Imagine where we'll be in another 45 years.

[@roygalaasen]

I did this with some TTL logic gates and resistor-capacitor pairs for timing in 1990, so not much changed in those 15 years. It is incredible what is accessible to make today.
Edit: this is years old?? Sorry about that and thanks, YT!

[@rich1051414]

Well, this demo is mostly software, so there is the big difference. Still some hardware, but the logic itself has moved on to software.

[@XiaZ]

@@roygalaasen He must be the top of the class genius to use 555 in 1975 when he was 12 (it came out in 72 by the way), and you must be the bottom barrel if you still use TTL logic gates in 90s.

[@roygalaasen]

@@XiaZ So a 12 year old can’t use a 555? Young people can’t be smart? I made my first computer game when I was around that same age, and I had no one around me that had any kind of knowledge of computers, so I was alone on my journey to learn things. And I was really thirsty for knowledge, on top of having a strong intuitive sense of how things worked on the bottom level. Think what a child with support can do if heshe is determined enough to learn? I find totally plausible that this person you criticise actually did work with electronics at that age.
Him for getting the date wrong? Boohoo, that far back anyone’s recollection gets a bit blurry, so he’s excused.
Regarding TTL being outdated in the 90’s? It may not have been the hottest thing at the time, but still an excellent learning tool for boolean logic. Also, I saw TTL components in electronic equipment all the way up to at least 1997-ish. MC68000 may have been the bomb in late 80’s early 90’s, yet you found the CPU in elevators and printers and other things till late 90’s still.
By the way. Electronics courses were available at school for any kids aged 13 and up at the time for anyone interested, it is not that far fetched, so not sure you are going off on such a tangent about his age.

[@roygalaasen]

@@rich1051414 no one said otherwise. It was just an anecdote.

[@overseastom]

Such a cool gadget/toy/art piece. I love it. The plastic gave it a lovely haze too, and reminded me of that pleasant warm fuzz while gaming on old crt monitors & televisions.

[@h7opolo]

very artistic and RAM intensive. Well done.

[@rpavlik1]

That led acrylic is wonderful

[@jimmyroyal34]

That LED project is so cool!

[@DavidPlass]

Looks like some of the pixels fell out onto the desk. :D

[@kimchigook6673]

my chinchilla made same thing. the chinchilla poo rolling inside the cage makes beautiful particle physics effect of that

[@norm1124]

Wow, really surprised how cool this is.

[@fullarmor0]

dont forget traditions guys 0:29

[@buildyourvisionxxx]

WOW this is amazing

[@jyxiaa]

You put a battery behind, USB c charging port, you advertise it as toy, become millionaire

[@PraetorianAU]

Holy crap this is awesome. I want one. Shut up and take my money!!!

[@user-zk2jx8et1r]

this reminds me of those built-in live wallpapers on old nexus phones

[@UnwrappingByMimiKoteng]

AMAZING

[@ChrisSmith-nm1hn]

That looked amazing!! Side note, have the same keyboard, love It!

[@Roostermonkeyvr]

this is sick

[@diegosatori5718]

Why The LED plastic make it change so much? Amazing technology

[@bestamerica]

'
wow that cooool colors LED balls balance...
beautifully

[@vio_70]

I want that.

[@amos9274]

With some anti-aliasing this could look even better! (Tho I'm not sure about the performance on a microcontroller)

[@DEXTERsRAVELABs]

Nice Work ...

[@R34L17Y]

That is sooooo cool

[@elconpandua1834]

Very interesting

[@zatanaxkill]

what is this plastic .? , nice vide

[@rrinnlonginus]

I'm guessing polycarbonate plastic.

[@pauloyeghe1637]

This is far more innovative than dummies building old fashioned robots with blue eyes and calling it a creature.
This is real electronics come to life .Thanks adafruit

[@deemwinch]

This is not innovative lol. It takes 30 min to write something like that for a phone app

[@7guitarlover]

Amazing !!!

[@johnacsyen]

Any tutorial on this?

[@serta5727]

Omg so prettyyyy :3

[@manumolina6534]

I want to create one of these but on a larger scale, thinking 50 inches. Any advice?

[@alishirazi1907]

Wonderful please tell me where I found this code

[@hiresliving8114]

Where can I get said, led plastic? I can't find it anywhere. I've looked up led plastic, led acrylic and led diffuser. Nothing like what's used in this video come up.

[@ReverendS3rvo]

Lopk up frosted matte acrylic

[@TheNamrata1986]

I also want to buy a gyroscope

[@novocanal7153]

Qual a utilidade desse painel com essas luzes?

[@willwatkins59]

That is beautiful!!!

[@TEC-1G]

What is the "LED Plastic" you speak of??

[@entity9742]

Rip UA-cam compression but i imagine this would look very cool

[@syedhasnain7456]

Hi do you need a website at cheap rates?

[@focusmicro]

She smart

[@Tanksnstuffs]

Now play bad apple on it

[@ylaw2092]

How much money?

[@K4P53R]

Hell yeah!!

[@jasonkhanlar9520]

0:05 Uhhh no! The LED squares are not moving at all! The LED squares are stationary. The simulation of movement is a visual effect represented by the on off lighting effects of the LEDs that are sequenced by time and the location of adjacent LEDs that are stationarily turning on and off.

[@ritwikgossain]

🤓

[@archonicmakes]

Uhhh no! The phrase "they're moving around" is CLEARLY a conceptual allegory referring to the abstract notion of discernable objects represented by pixels!

[@TheManInsideYourHouse]

powder toy reference???

[@shirinpatel9339]

LED PLAstic= Cell Machine

[@5weating_8ullets]

Take my soul

[@misikaro]

Now try to put them in order just by tilting it

[@idiotburns]

This would be great on a guitar

[@schwarzerritter5724]

What is that LED plastic?

[@d.b.1176]

It's plastic that goes over the LED's

[@ritwikgossain]

How to make?

[@SparkOutUs]

Imagine this on an RGB LED cube

[@35degC]

Reorganizing them by color should be a final exam

[@suntzu6122]

What is LED plastic? Just semi-transparent black acrylic?

[@rrinnlonginus]

I guess it's just polycarbonate plate, maybe a little under 5mm thick

[@eddybash1342]

Nice random generator !

[@markohara5146]

How much to make me one?

[@philbarnes1412]

Where can I get the CircuitPython code for this?

[@squaresquarestar]

i want,

[@itaco8066]

Wow

[@iamnoone2239]

I want a smaller one for the back of my phone case

[@simp-slayer]

Epic idea

[@chantillystreet7239]

I am no one i just did it just for you thanks for the idea hers the video ua-cam.com/video/dQw4w9WgXcQ/v-deo.html

[@lssupports]

Greetings Sir, I've been trying to cascade 3 RGB matrix panels together but when I do so, some errors appear and I don't understand why. Please 🙏🙏🙏 do you have any ideas?? Thanks in advance

[@LgiidOakLeaves]

Oo

[@havocking9224]

huh

[@6or7breadsticks]

its like virtual water

[@Landontheengineer]

People in the 1950’s would never believe this was even possible!
