I'm 58 and have been an electronics hobbyist my whole life. One thing I never got into was digital circuit design. I always thought I didn't know enough. That all changed recently when I was pushed to learn Altium. The bubble of doubt has burst. It's like a whole new chapter my life has opened up. You are a true inspiration. Thank you.
the bubble of doubt is not easily broken. I'm currently expanding into the higher spiritual dimensions, day by day. good on ya.
The best way to dispel the idea that digital components are more difficult to work with, is to remember that digital components are just made up of smaller analog components.
i wish you luck mr.ward
just scrap it
@@catcherintherye6479 shut up
when he said "very easy" it felt like im watching a mumbo jumbo redstone tutorial
I never thought I see someone say that on a video unrelated but that is soooo true! lol. Mumbo Jumbo you are AFK! sorry had to
@@THAICLMC XD
The reason why people can do Redstone is that they understand each component and its features, mumbo jumbo has creativity, patience and an understanding of what he is doing. So that is why he says it is easy.
The same is with the Redstone of the real world but in the real world you have to understand more components, and thus it's kinda more complicated.👍
(Also just try doing Redstone it isn't too hard, just practice 30 mins per day and also watch a bunch of Redstone tutorials, and also don't watch mumbo jumbo for tutorials and start small, very small.)
So easy
@@dangerblox9904 Chill he was just trying to help.
I'd suggest smaller "pixels" and make it a bit bigger, if it can connect to a PC it would be a great Desktop notification gizmo

Dude it was 2 am now it’s 9 I started on 3D pens

If you redesigned it so it could also move side to side a small amount you could double the resolution. You could even reproduce a crt scanning technique with a single rgb pixel led if you had horizontal control as well, although you would need it to move very fast.
Just use two flexible leds stacked on top of one another, displaced by 1/2 pixel.
At that point I think it's easier and cheaper to just add more LEDs. 😅
But cool if it was possible.
You are one hell of an inventor . After watching this channel, I changed my automobile engineering idea into a electronic engineering idea 😂
Haha thanks!
good decision :D

You are such an inspiriation. I m a professional embedded system designer who studied all tht formally. Studied advanced computer arch, reconfig computing, dsp, vhdl, top eda tools and design every day. But nothing of tht is even near to ur passion, design genious and ur love wht u do, all tht at such a young age. I share ur videos with my students and thy love it.
Amazing ... just keep doing. U have a very bright future
If you put the LEDs at the base, and then use fiber optics to transmit the light to the end, you may be able to avoid the damage that flexing the circuit causes. The coil might be eleminated by goin to another way to do a similar action... a Piezoelectric fan.
This is amazing. Forget about designing it, how can you even imagine of building something like this.
Now imagine 20inch holographic display and amount of wind it generates.
Need to watch a video and cool down? HoloFlex TM can do that!
perfect for summer
you can simply put a small acrylic shield , the possibilities are endless
@@marianaurel Kinda ruins the point of the hologram though
@@watinc.9918 yea well I was saying that as a solution to the main comment of wind generate....a hologram wouldn't generate wind, and this is a fake hologram btw, so don't dare to tell me what ruins the point of a hologram when you seem to preach a fake one ffs

What if the LED's didn't move but lit up fiber optic threads that terminate on the end of the flapper
Carl, I as an analog electronics student I really admire your creativity and skill! This inspires me to try to build my own version of this cool circuit! Keep up the good engineering!
Thanks!! Inspiring student is the best part of doing this kind of stuff
2:42 My thoughts exactly. Excellent work, INCREDIBLY cool project!
😊Thanks!!
To cut the cost, perhaps use fiber strands to port the light from an LED on the board. You could even bundle them into a rectangle (maybe 4x16) to have a rectangular pixel.
Didn't see this before I posted my comment.
that should also reduce stresses. Great idea
Its the second time UA-cam recommended this to me and i am seeing it again ,its so cool
I bought a Bitzee toy for my daughter today. As soon as I saw the oscillating flexible pov display, it immediately reminded me that I was following a UA-camr experimenting with these. If you have anything to do with these I must congratulate you!
Reinventing mechanical TV with modern technology?
Cool.
Consider leaving the LEDs stationary on the table and watching their reflection from the vibrating piece. Great job btw
üprincipal of doodles an gagdets !!
This is incredible, Carl - well done! I have had a strange fascination with embedded projects that involve animations lately due to my previous interest in computer graphics. This fits the bill perfectly.
I have designed flexible, semi flexible and flexi-rigid PCBs for many years...what your doing isn't normal usage, I applaud your experimentation. Until there is money involved for firms, a lot of experimentation doesn't get done. I often had great relationships with our PCB suppliers and got experimental designs tagged on to other orders very cheaply (and hidden) to allow such work...under the radar, like skunkworks...some even developed into products that, shock horror...make money!!.
Great stuff.
Im not really sure if this fits the definition of hologram but it looks really cool.
Very cool idea. The old Nintendo Virtual Boy uses a similar concept to create it's image. It uses a single row of LEDs and an oscillating mirror to fill out a screen.
1:42 - almost spat out my coffee! Why is it so funny XD
i see you got dirty mind ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Here we go again😂😂
There is a new electric pet like a tamagotchi using a display like this called Bitzee. As soon as I saw an ad for it I remembered this video.
I would totally buy one of those. It would make a cool clock that could push phone notifications.
Thx for not making this video any longer than it had to be. Straight to the point. Very epic. Liked.
I just want to comment how bless I am to see the youtube algorithm works on my favour. It’s amazing.
You can 3D print a casing for it that allows free movement inside and a buffer zone that protects the leds from damage during the movements, and a plexigass can be fitted over an opening in the front of the casing. Looks great!
I love how straightforward this video is
Thank you Mr Carl Bugeja.
You are inspiring me to become a computer engineer, as in a guy who makes his own hardware and then installs his own developed software onto his own hardware. Maybe that's an embedded systems engineer but all I want is to be good at both hardware and software and make devices !
I thought I recognised the display in that "Bitzee" toy, to think I saw this ages ago and now your tech is all over the world. Its actually a really cool piece of tech
You can cover the surface of the LED stripes with a silicon like sealer. It will retain rigidity and keep it from breaking. Just use very thin layers.
One word : AWESOME
It might help to focus a little behind the leds. This spreads the light out to fill in the "cracks" and helps the camera handle the dynamic range too. I've always found it tricky getting good pictures of leds.
Incredible invention. This would be a neat way to display a blood glucose monitor. Prick finger on base and displays blood glucose when it's available
this has huge potential, your biggest road block may be the large size of the led. but even tvs looked like that a few decades ago.
Holograms: Exist
Heat wave: Also exists
Everybody: Get a ladder I'm gonna chill up there
not funny
@@PasanJayaweeraYashoda made me smirk gtfo
the good old times when the heat wave was a big problem
This is a fantastic idea. You could even incorporate parallel rows of LEDs to give images depth. The whole thing could clip to your phone and be super lightweight and compact. I really think you're onto something here, in fact I'd move fast to open source it cause a lotta companies will just say they don't like your idea then create their own version. These holograms could easily be the size of phone cases, the only limit is the time it takes a larger body to oscillate.
its finally here! i didnt even think about portability: that opens up so many more possibilities! someone else mentioned a watch: that would be cool (maybe the shape would have to be a bit less weird) but thats just scratching the surface.
i suppose having rainbows isnt on with those leds because they're too far away from each other? 3 colors is plenty though.
my guess for cheaper version is having the whole thing flexi or soldering a flexi straight onto a normal pcb.
i think shutter speed is what needs adjusting for flicker, if your camera can do that.
its cool how you can poke the image and it remains coherent(ish)
just got some magnets and halls in myself: need to get around to laying out those coils
Thanks for your comment and suggestions! To make the leds closer they need to be changed because of their package..Filiming the holograms was a bit of nightmare haha.. You have the pwm of the leds and the flexing at 25hz.. Both of these were effecting the the shot
YO!!!!
This is so cool!
This is probably the closest we will get to having IRL Star Wars/Star Trek/Star Gate/ StarCraft holograms.
Hell of a proof of concept, mi hombré. The future's gonna be fricken sweet. Thanks for the preview.
Would be amazing to see an array of them working as one display. 💚
if you could manage to get the resolution high enough, this could make a rather cool handheld retro gaming device
neat gadget, this is similar tech to how the old Nintendo Virtual Boy's LED display worked.
Carl, you're a flipping genius. Keep doing what you do best. 👍
this is such a detailed work its crazy.
This is really cool. I enjoy seeing creative stuff from people who are passionate about it. You should use this for an actuator on a monocopter!!
Damn you have such a creative mind! I hope that companies will be inspired by you and you will get promotions!!
That's really innovative. You've literally started the future. good job man!
You can use your flap mechanism as a mirror for a laser projection system. Modulate the laser at high frequency, synchronise with a mirror end position times, and make a low-cost, reliable projection system. This projector can be used for fun or in SLA laser printers.
The potential for this is awesome
that was a cool project! very good editing and music taste! amazing!
this is really smart, congratulations! such a satisfying little device! i'd love to see a larger version, and maybe try to scale it's range of motion so you can take advantage of the full 'pixel density' for more intricate graphics.
a double winged version in the shape of a butterfly or hummingbird would also be a nice thing. maybe if you suspended it from a string it would pendulum nicely in a circular or otherwise repeating motion, which would make a nice mobile, and if it has a resonant frequency in that motion too, you'd have another dimension in which you can the animations. if that makes sense, haha! cant wait to see where you take it!
Thanks! Flexible PCB butterfly is in my project's bucket list 🙂 what's holding me back is that I don't think it would actually fly.. But the string idea you mentioned would work for sure so thanks for the suggestions 😊 a few months ago I already made a Paper Buterfly thingy ua-cam.com/video/dsEWjJJqkcI/v-deo.html
It isn't holographic, it's a _volumetric_ display.
Nope, it's entirely 2-dimensional
thankyou
@@jrandy The display is actually curved, not entirely flat.
@@nagualdesign I know that. A 2-dimensional image is still a 2-dimensional image though, which is all this device is displaying. Are you suggesting curved monitors are 'volumetric' or 'holographic'? Displays truly of those types would be capable of displaying 3-dimensional images
@@jrandy No, I wasn't suggesting that. A monitor, curved or flat, is generally considered to be a 2D display or "screen".
This sort of thing is what they call a "swept volume" display, which _is_ a type of volumetric display, even though this particular example is admittedly pretty limited.
The main point I was making, in case it wasn't absolutely obvious when you think about it, is that _this ain't no hologram,_ but if push comes to shove I couldn't really care less what you want to call it.
What would you like to call it?
More dense LEDs. And add an echo senser beneath the display. That way you could measure if someone pushed the display down, and can simulate "input" signals.
Feels good that someone from my country has success! Keep it up
Your engineering, your personality, your editing style is all really cool!
Once again a very cool idea and concept from you! Few things came to my mind while watching. First and most important, the next step can be 3D, now that you did 1D and 2D, if the have a 2D LED matrice, you can do some cool volumetric effect as well (even if the geometry will be weird). Second is that Flex is not required, just go for normal, think maybe 0.5mm PCB, and have your coil on it with everything. I know the mass affect the frequency and rigidity as well. What frequency works the best for you and is this prototype running at the natural oscillation freq?
I had saved this to "watch later" expecting it to be an informative video for my Sunday. Now I am quite stoked instead especially because of the super clever solution you have for vibrations!!!! Really a great idea. You have by channel subscription :-) A thought comes to mind. To offset the risk of LED detachment due to mechanical stress, would you consider a setup using fiber optic strands? It might also allow for increased resolution. I'll talk about it with my electronic friends.
鳥が羽ばたくような動作で空中に映像を投影させる発想が面白いです。
動作している様子もコミカルで可愛いので、デスク周りのアクセサリーとしても良いかもしれません。
This reminds me of an iPhone app years ago where you would wave the phone around and it would make out the text the same way this device is doing. Never really caught on for anything, but it was neat. Something like this seems neat for a desktop thing. I was thinking of a HUD (Heads Up Display) but we already have those.
can you make a giant one. that would be sick!!! you have awsome vids btw : )
Haha, love this magnetic solution!
Definitely larger and more resolution ... You're onto something right there.
You need to contact the right guys and make a product out of this 👌
Let people produce it for you, so you can focus on other things
I feel like this might become the future of television technology...
This is NOT a 3D hologram, or holographic display. However, it IS a very cool animated LED simulation of a free floating projection, which, in it's on way, is very, very cool. Thanks for sharing this.
but can it run doom?
1:48 that's quite the flap we got there ha
is it a concern at all when you get a pcb made the design just gets copied, or maybe it's too abstract to tell the purpose
edit: well I see the pcbway sponsor(aware of them by strange parts too)
Good design with Altium Designer but it's POV not hologram ;-)
What is POV?
persistence of vision display
The term "hologram" is incredibly overused these days.
Thanks! I agree it is a pov display (I always referred to it this way in all my other videos) , I used the term 'holographic' simply because non-technical people don't usually know what the term pov is.. So I excuse myself with the technical guys haha.. ps. Its not that difficult to turn it into an actual hologram display - I just need to add more rows 😝
@@CarlBugeja Even adding more rows doesn't turn it into a holographic display. It would just be volumetric POV display. A holographic display would mean it is a 2D screen that creates a full 3D lightfield that contains all the information of the original object.
I see this tech has made it to market in kids toys.
Congratulations 🎉
You should run Doom on this device😂
I don't need more devices running Doom
When I grow up I want to be as smart as him.
Start young
Is it just me or he’s switching language mid talk 4:47 lmao
yes
Can you please explain the effect you using that causes the flapping towards the permanent magnet? I understand that you are reversing polarity of your circuit to make it attract and repel the magnet, but I thought you had to use an electromagnet to create that effect. What exactly is producing that effect? Thanks.
This guy is the best on YT.
Me:ok this was posted 4 minutes ago so the comments should be about that old right?
UA-cam:seems legit
Me:*checks* wth why is it 30 minutes old
UA-cam:idk
How is this a holographic display? It's still a two dimensional image, not a three dimensional one.
I know, but it looks like it appears in mid air, giving the illusion of it being holographic.
@@MSaleh-vy8rr that's not the definition of holographic, that's the definition of 2D
Very nice project. The flexing PCB is a wonderfull idea.
My first 'Arduino test' was with 8 red led's and a rotating mirror.
Vibrating led display ..nice work 👌🏼
Thats very awasome idea. Amazing work!
This is actually very cool
Thank You for making me relive the feeling of my circumcision , even tho i was a baby 00:45 , God of Creativity
This is a POV display. I was waiting for a holographic display the entire video, but it just kept with a Persistence Of View display
Legend says that one day he'll make an HD FlexLED screens...
Persistence of Vision is a phenomenon that relies on the memory effect inherited within human eyes for very short period. Similar versions of POV were made by using motors of defined angular speed. The Flexi LED version work nice and has issue of wearing out fast because of rapid vibration. The life time of POV depends on the life time of the flexible board.
This is a freaking cool project!
When I heard this guy's accent I said to myself "This guy is pure maltese, then I see surname bugeja" am right. Great video
The application I'm most enamored with is a hud of some kind
I really liked the video and the description, it clarifies you about some electronic devices, and has a good effect on the led.
Most intelligent man I've ever seen!
What a cute and small display!
This has a retro futuristic vibe to it and I am all for it
It sounds like the old school reel projectors :D
I like this alot because it's real unlike the obviously fake ones this one projects images by the speed of the flap.
In a vacuum, it will oscillate with greater frequency and amplitude. It will also consume less energy when oscillating at the resonant frequency
Regarding your framerate issue with the LED flicker: Lower your camera's framerate to 60fps or under.
As a graphic designer and artist I'm currently more inclined towards the contemporary set of "TOYS" that makes the world around us the way it is... I wish we were close man, we could fuse the art with electronics.
