20 Years ago I was watching the New Yankee Workshop with Norm Abram, thinking wow this guy is awesome I'd love to do this. Now I'm watching ILTMS, thinking this guy is awesome. I'm inspired again and I am now making stuff. Thanks Bob - Keep it up.
Thank you so much Chris, that's very kind of you!!
I Like To Make Stuff I think you should make it so that if a team (etc) wins, the sign should flash and go all different colours
I noticed this has been been posted 4 years ago and we'll I'm just now seeing it and I have a question about the diffusers. If your diffuser didn't protrude from the face of the board would that help with the bleed over and lower your overall cost?
I love all your projects. I've had an interest in building and computer science and your projects are just exactly the type of things I love to see. This is a great idea. Your videos are entertaining and informative at the same time for people on every part of the knowledge/skill/experience spectrum
Really cool, love it! And I also really like how you show problems that you run into and how you come up with solutions, this is excellent learning experience! Thanks a lot!
Awesome project! I love how you are casually incorporating 3D printing into your projects! Keep up the great work!
Great job! I like that you address your problems with your process and walk through your solutions. That is the best part of working on projects.
Thanks George! I think that rubs some people the wrong way, but to me is just a part of making anything :)
How can anyone not like those parts?! The best part of making is figuring things out. :D
George Thomas I agree, don't change that format, it's one of the best assets of your videos
Jonathan Marshall AGREE!
Just an idea for those who don't own a 3D printer; use ping pong balls for the light diffusers.
Probably the best video you've made yet. A little bit of everything, explained very well, and in a project that is SO useful. Fantastic work Bob.
Thanks!
i like how you worked through the project and went through the initial problems. nice work.
Can you make a youtube subscribers counter? Like a digital clock, thanks ^^
vote this upppppp
Like the one UnboxTherapy had??
ya but DIY ^^
That'd be cool! Gotta try and find a way to connect it, does the arduino 101 have wifi?
It has an ethernet port, but you can get a shield for it that'll connect it to wifi
My OCD wanted the HOME letters to be more centered. Good job Bob!
Fateuser
Same dude 😭
Fateuser same :(
Also, home is traditionally on the right side.
I don't have any OCD but I wanted it centered also other than that it's pretty cool
Lol, same here. Thou it was a very nice project.
Awesome as always Bob, always good to see the vinyl cutter getting some use 👍
Awesome! I wish I had one of these as a kid for pickup games
Another thing you could do to brighten up the team names/hide the unlit bulbs is have a horizontal separator between the team names and numbers. More of the light from the strip would be reflected up and away from the numbers
-Hey Bob the Arduino 101 and the SawStop cabinet saw have the same link in the video description-
Edit: He Fixed it
Fixed
I Like To Make Stuff CAN YOU TEACH ME HOW YOU MAKE AH BUNCKER
Cool project, Thanks for sharing again!
Funny " Bob from the future" LOL.
Another awesome project as always Bob. Happy to see this one pop up so early today!
Thanks Michael!
Been looking for something like this for corn hole scoring. Excellent project
Hi Bob, I love this project especially for refereeing games when there is no scorekeeper. You can simply change the scoreboard with your smartphone! Awesome job!
Great project and video. I love how you've been pulling the in the electronics. Keep it up!
Oh, this does bring some memories, when back in the day I had this project (just on a circuit simulator, all software, no actual hardware other than the pc itself) where we could do whatever as long as it met some goals. As a part of it, I end up with an array of, I think, eight symbols (i.e., letters, numbers) but, instead of a 3x5, they were sixteen segment displays each. I had to code them myself, solving a Karnaugh map for each letter, map and extra symbol (I guess I did something around 40 of them total).
The idea was more or less the same as here, but at lower level (logic gates, etc., instead of programming).
These projects really make me want to go and make something... I don't know what, but something.
This is fantastic. I'm an iOS developer and just got an Arduino 101 for my birthday. Excited to make some stuff with it! I'm sure your example on GitHub will be super helpful! Thanks Bob!
Awesome! you'll have no trouble creating something custom for it.. Good luck!
Awesome project. Your videos always touch on so many topics and I find that there's always something I'm interested in.
This is really cool Bob! Nice build!
I barely comment on video's on UA-cam, but just wanna say I really enjoy all of your video's. Not only you're a great guy, also you're a great video maker and builder! Keep it up, thanks
Yes!!!!! I've been researching a scoreboard based on arduino for our volleyball nights over the "off-season." Can't wait to do this!
Awesome!
Hey I'm not Bob and I like the stuff Bob makes! And I love this one!
I have two small variations in mind:
1) make the LED "cups" shape transition from round to square to get a "pixel" look. it might be the final nerdy touch (you already put in 3d print, Bluetooth, arduino, it's more than enough for an average nerd!)
2) use plexiglass bars for the LED instead of cups. you should have a polished side surface to act as a light guide, polished bottom face (LED side) and textured front face. this works for sure if LED and light guide size are roughly the same, as in LEDs in user interfaces. So you might consider building a more compact version of the board reusing your current LEDs.
This looked like a fun project to build. Good work Bob!
Man you're awesome!!! I wish I can spend the whole summer making stuff up!!! Very very cool keep them coming!!!
Simple, clever and very well explained! Nice work!
Looking forward for the next video, since that I guess I already watched all the previous ones.
Thanks so much!
Really fun idea, Bob... thanks for sharing! 🤓👍🏼
I love how handy you are with wood, but damn you're good with the electronics too!
Bob, I have a tool that works wonderfully for exactly the repetitive hole drilling. it's kind of a "portable drill press". it's called a Portalign and it attaches a hand drill to make the job easier. if you search "Portalign", you'll find several different drill guides like it. they even have depth stops. Hope this helps!
it'd be cool to see an update of this in future of adding a fouls section or other scoreboard type things
every time i click on the amazon link for the arduino i am sent to the amazon pahe for your table saw
great project and video!
this sponsorship is the kind i like because we learn something new, the sponsorship makes sense and it fits your channel and the project!
keep on doing things like that!
Just corrected that link :) Thanks!
I Like To Make Stuff great! Thanks!
Awesome project! I was thinking that if you painted the inside of the diffusion cups with some silver/reflective paint, that would help keep stray light from getting in.
Cool project, Bob!
Awesome project for kids or school as you said. Love it.
Thanks Red!
Very cool - nice build!
Hi Bob, that is a cool display!!! Just started bing listening to making it podcast - David you and Jimmy are amazing!!!
Thanks so much! I really appreciate that and I I hope you continue to enjoy the show!
I Like To Make Stuff I'm living in Israel end just started my own way in woodworking and makeing stuff. Inspired by you end jimmy
Excellent as always Bob, and thanks Intel for sponsoring ILTMS.
Thanks George!!
Would changing the color help with the contrast? Say red for the "on" led and green for the "off" led.
excellent project Bob.
This project is really good like always ur my favorite youtuber im going to subscribe
Nice work, Bob.
Awesome project. I would love to make one of these for my school. Would you be able to do another video where you modified it to have button controls on the back of the board? Ours would sit on the scorers table and it would be much more reliable if there were just physical buttons on the back of the scoreboard. I might be able to figure it out too, but it would take some research!!
Very cool Bob!
Once again my friend, you've made a fabulous video. Keep up the great work my friend!
Hi from France ! Great Job ! I never try the 101, just uno and leonardo, but it seems to be very interesting when i see your projects.
One of my fav videos, good job!
Intel are very clever in sponsoring you Bob - you have gift for explaining the complex with plain speaking and as such people want to follow your lead... Respect 😁
Thanks so much! I really appreciate that :) See you on the livestream!
Always dude thanks for he reply appreciate your time :)
Awesome. Can't wait u til it gets warmer to start making stuff again.
To have an even bigger contrast and a more pleaseruable expericene for the viewers u can have a yellow color to make up the numbers but the lights that would be "off" could instead shine purple which is a contrast color to yellow. Just an idea that I thought of. Ur insane at making ideas come to real life, gj man.
When I was in jr High I made a scoreboard with xmas lights and lots of switches.... this is so cool. I think its about time for an updated version.
Looks great Bob. I bet folks would get a lot of use out of this.
Thanks! I hope so!
Where do you find that type of masking tape for the vinyl lettering? This would help my vinyl accuracy immensely!!
Hey Bob, just wondering about how it would look if the off LEDs were actually red or another contrasting color, since the LEDs are RGB. Very nice result!
I'm about to embark on building my own version of this over the weekend. Have the electronics figured out for my customization. What's I'd love to know that are some more details about the woodworking. Any chance you can get us the layout/spacing of the circles?
I'm forgoing BT and using arcade buttons for ease of use by others during an actual sporting event. Making second box that can be used with (quick connect, already wired) to display countdown clock. Will have start/stop and potentiometer to set the time.
Would love to know the spacing, will help a lot!
Love the stuff you put on here Bob! This one is great. Would you care to share how much this project cost to build?
Again really nice project, I personally would have used smaller LED diffusers and but kept the spacing as I feel this would have made the numbers more ledgible especially at further distances.
Really nice project man!
Thank you!!
Hey Bob, I love the project. I went to order the Aurduino board and saw that it is discontinued. Is there another board that would be worth the purchase? Thank you
Looks amazing.
Love it. Such a great project for my STEM kids to team up and do.
Bob, another great project! I appreciate that you add some of the stuff that didn't work out too. There's plenty to be learned there as well. Could you add a link to the wiring harness connector kit? It the one where you soldered the pins onto the bare wire and then pushed them into the plastic harness. I'm searching on Amazon and haven't found that kit yet. Thanks!
Thanks! Adding it now, but I'll post it here too amzn.to/2oCuo4b
Great work! Actually in the process of making one of our own. Although instead of using the arduino 101 we are just implementing simple buttons with the arduino uno. Any guidance on how to convert this code form using a bluetooth library to a simple buttons?
I like it. Great idea and execution.
Thank you!!
good work bob.
Bob I love your videos and you're a great role model and builder!
Thanks so much Ken, I really appreciate that!
Good stuff. I was thinking you were going to resolve the contrast issue by programming the non illuminated LEDs to be a contrasting colour. (e.g. numbers in yellow and contrast in blue.)
Your videos are awesome, keep it up!
Thanks so much!
I was wondering. Could you have used a dark film gel over the lenses to keep them dark until they light up, or would that not work?
Awesome video! I've wanted to make a scoreboard for my softball league. Now I have a good tutorial! Thanks man, keep it up!
Great! I hope it's helpful!
Hey Bob love your channel! was wondering if you counter sunk the LED lights flush to the board would you have had the same problem with the light bouncing off each other. keep up the great work you do Bob. P.S could you build a Bluetooth car kit that connects phone/tablet to cars that don't have Bluetooth ability.
Excellent project Bob, I've been thinking about something like this for my nieces and nephews and their new basketball court.
For those that don't want to wire up 15 LEDs, 7 segment displays are easy to understand. You could probably find some that the right size, or make your own and program it in a similar way to Bob's.
Thanks! John Park made a video a couple of weeks ago about making custom, large 7 segment displays and it worked brilliantly!
Great project for using many skills. good on you Bob!
Thanks dude!
Love you Bob. Am not old enough to have a shop but i really wanna do cool stuff like you do in the future. Could you do a project on house decor?
I really liked the one on the ocean table.
I love this project.
This thing is sickk.
:) Thanks Sam!
Great work!!!!! I’m now a new fan / subscriber
you are the best on youtube making stuff like thi!! :)
WOW THIS WAS SO COOL!
Seems like a cool project once I have money.
Hey Bob
Would you be able to show how to make a count down timer? I use it a lot in my class but would like one at about this size to make it visible to everyone.
Your video quality is always so good.
Thank you!!
Bob is back!
Thanks, Bob! I love the edge guide on the router. Might need to get one myself.
I made a similar project for my dad's pooltable, but it wasn't phone controlled. Great idea!
Yeah, hat's a handy little attachment for sure! Thanks!
I Like To Make Stuff Just thought of a question. Thinking making a version of yours for backyard games, like bags/cornhole.
How long do you think the battery will really last powering the uno and all the LEDs?
Depends on the battery and load (number of LEDs) really, but if you have a decently sized LiPo, it'd work for a couple of hours probably.
I Like To Make Stuff I'd probably use the same number of LEDs, so a few hours wouldn't be bad, but maybe I'll play with some other options though. On a nice summer day, a few hours can go really quick!
That's sick
You could make a wooden collet to be larger in diameter than back of drill . Collet slips between drill and drill bit secured behind drill head. That way it stops exactly at your wooden spacer stop mechanically
Any chance you could do an update on the arduino/app electronic side of things. Great project
Great video. has given me ideas to make something similar. Cheers from Australia!
Awesome, what about having them all stay white and the numbers change color. Would that cut down on the glare and light bounce of the other diffuses?
great video. i wish i had a need for one, might have to invent something ;)
one question, does the back light for the names not bleed through the off LEDs? could be solved with a partition below the names on the back maybe.
Thanks! No, I don't think that's really a concern. The light doesn't really have a way to get to the diffuser caps.
Cool project!
Great work! Actually in the process of making one of our own. but i try to use 4 buttons insted, up/down home and up/down away, with the arduino uno. Any guidance on how to convert this code form using a bluetooth library to a simple buttons? thx in advance
Saving school districts tons of money, one build project at a time!
Hopefully!
As I was watching you add those clear diffusers I was thinking that wasn't going to work. I had recently done an LED matrix project and had used white separators and between pixels and there was too much color bleed, so I ended doing the exact same thing, make the separators black. Good job, but why not just use the TomThumb font which is already 5x3 and you don't have to mess with generating each number/letter yourself.
Hey Bob,
What if you made a electric guitar or bass?
awesome work!
Nice job! Two questions: 1) Is this bright enough to use outdoors? and 2) Any alternate suggestions for the LED diffusers if you don't have access to a 3D printer?
Jeremy Thompson I know this is two weeks late but Gatorade bottle caps with blacked out sides. Odd I know but it could work
I don't think it's odd at all, actually! After I watched this I started saving white caps from 1L bottles of seltzer with the same idea.
How would you do this with a pre bought digital scoreboard? I only want the Bluetooth feature added
Hi Bob, This was a great project. For a person who never has done electronics is adapting this project to make a countdown timer realistically doable? Can you share an approximate cost? Thanks
Could you connect that to a say score keeping app that keeps score of like MLB, NBA, NHL games in real time?
Awesome video, you make really good and quality stuff!
Thank you!!
