Thank you so much for all your videos. Such inspiration, such great ideas, and of course always with your natural sense of pedagogic explanations. Being a "homemade escape rooms" builder myself I am both grateful and admirative of your excellent work. This video in particular is so inspiring and creative, I love the use of programmable LEDs in a very neatly designed way! Keep it up, Alister, much love from Belgium!
Sir, I always enjoy your video. I wish I had a professor like you. Keep those videos coming. I wish I can code like you. I really love everything that you do. Your one of the coolest I knew here on YT.
A cool way to change this puzzle would be to have all three orbits happening at the same time, with 3 potentiometers to control their respective orbit speed, you have got to slow them all down/speed them up so that they all orbit in an alignment, I'd imagine with the different numbers of leds in each ring though, you'd have to do some clever stuff for it to figure out what "alignment" is in the code, maybe have a +/- 1 or 2 leds for the outer rings
That's a neat idea! I like the concept of having to make the planets "align" somehow but, as you say, it might involve some playtesting to get just the right amount of tolerance of what is an acceptable value.... something challenging, but achievable!
Thank you for an excellent tutorial, I really wish I could get my head round the programming. You really are incredibly clever to be able to create something like this. I am trying to learn this stuff using best practices and I wish to thank you for sharing your skills.
awesome - love how you daisy chained the leds together to act as one off of one pin. Wow 10 amp supply. Out of interest do you do a single plug into the wall AC outlet that drives both power supplies (5v and 12V) or do you do two separate plugs to have absolutely no chance of noise?
I've been running this using two completely separate PSUs, each plugged into the mains. Yeah, 10A is excessive - I could have halved that and still been absolutely fine!
it'd be no problem in this case to use a single power supply with 5v and 12v outputs, or even a single 12v supply followed by a buck regulator to generate the 5v. I'd probably put more than 1uF of capacitance near the LED's in that case though.
Hey was the filament you used for the rings just a standard "clear" PLA or did you use something different? It may just be the camera but it looks slightly different to what I have printed before with clear PLA
I did wonder about seperating out the input from the visual display, but just thought it might make it that bit too tricky. "And, in 3... 2... 1... NOW!" Lol

@@PlayfulTechnologyplease make a video about it 🙏🙏. Its a great idea!

Brilliant! As usual :)
Awh, thanks!

Brilliant design as usual!!!
You rock!
Nice idea!
Brilliant idea 😎
Awesome! really. + remotely located button/trigger out of line-of-sight to force co-op timing

hola tienes algun diy batak game o catching the stick ?? tks
It's perfect idea As usual
nice better...because ....I went in one Escape Room and Just Picked all the pad locks ...
