Power is usually the most annoying part. I wanted to drive everything from one source initially.. The driver was unhappy with 5V although that should be enough for the TMC2208.. Then I altered to 12v and wanted to derive the 3.3 from that too.. Using a linear voltage reg is was too much power dissipation as the ESP draw considerable current.. However, it is all possible with the correct step down supply chips.. In the end I supplied 12v to the driver and kept USB connected to the ESP board I believe..

Haha I know exactly what you mean :) Thx mate..

Sorry to hear that you had difficulties following the tutorial. I agree that some parts are not ideal. Thanks for the honest feedback nonetheless and maybe you'll find this other tutorial I did about hexagons more helpful? ruclips.net/video/QEoUMSO9SXo/видео.html

Thx for this kind feedback! Made my day. :) To me it is an essential part of working on projects that something doesn't work as expected and I think it is worth giving this side its space too.

Correct, like the chapters tell. But honestly, I would recommend that you check out the updated versions on this tutorial like ruclips.net/video/QEoUMSO9SXo/видео.html

Maybe have a look here ruclips.net/video/QEoUMSO9SXo/видео.html it is another video where I used that technique to build a full light former grid..

This is such a fantastic techniques. I've already used it several times today. I just make a big sheet of this pattern and then punch holes through it as needed for different shapes. THANK YOU!

Great to hear that! Enjoy your project.. Sounds fun.. :)

That is always an option, but not a very precise and controllable process.. Nothing that I am after when I want to design something with hexagons.. I wanted the ability to steer how wide the openings and thick the walls of the hexagons were..

The question is, is there anything in the video that hints that you should? If yes, then definitely.. If not, then not.. But for sure yes, if the googly eyes are cute..

Yes, will drop a reply once I managed.. :)

Thx man, means a lot to me! About your question, what do you mean with differentiating between transitions exactly?

@@iambuschi A colour transition. Gladly over several pixels/LEDs

@Daedalin-b3r haven't come across a solution for that yet.. But maybe with one of the effect.. You can basically customize the heck out of all module effects.. I assume there is something like a gradual gradient color change.. Or do you want to dynamically transition between segment? Altering the colors until they match? Sounds pretty unique..

Mhh I guess there are many many more ways to achieve the same goal.. A light dependent resistor is just a passive very simple component that I had available (not unimportant in that context ;) ) .. In direct comparison I think you would hardly find a difference in performance of any of the possible approaches..

Yes, absolutely.. :)

You are more than welcome! :)

Thanks a lot! :) I still find the flexibility of those light strips astonishing..

Have you seen my follow up video ruclips.net/video/EayXBg41U9M/видео.htmlsi=ibOOv3APimqdt2Kv ? And if that is still not helping, I recommend you have a look at ruclips.net/video/QEoUMSO9SXo/видео.html where I used the same technique to build a large softbox grid from hexagons.

In any case, thx for the feedback. Was my ever first video and looking back, there is a lot I can do better now. :)

@@iambuschi i'll take a look nowl thanks

Yes, it must be a division without remainder... I didn't pay attention to that detail, but worked out okish

You have no idea how nice it is to get such messages :) I could include a ton more mistakes and moments of confusion.. I think you a point there.. Most videos on RUclips are scripted start to finish and only show the shiny end result and the painful path to this result is invisible.. Again thx a million for reaching out.. Most appreciated..

Ui thanks mate.. I have a lot planned with too little time for execution.. :) but the next one is in the making already..

@@iambuschi Time is the most valuable same the most limited thing in our busy life. That is why I appreciate even more that someone wants to share his knowledge, ideas, skills with others in such a well thought and prepared form.

Thanks again. Honestly, these feedbacks are a really appreciated motivator to keep going! :)

Yes. But you can also use the outer shape of the box and extrude it 'over' the shapes you want to keep and use boolean mode of intersect to actively select what you want to keep..

True.. I stumbled over this parameter in the video as well, but didn't think of trying it out immediately.. Would be a good try indeed.

Thanks! :)

Can share the boards, but haven't prepared proper BOM or description, which makes it hard to work with the named board files alone..

Vielen Dank und Grüße! :) Ich habe WS2812B und SK6812 (RGBW) im Einsatz. Die sind kompatibel zueinander.. Beide als Rolle bestellt und auf Länge gestützt.. LEDs alle 2.5cm glaube ich..

You are more than welcome :)

Thanks! :) Sure I can upload the files.. Usually put my things to printables.com - will do it tonight.

@@iambuschi Thank you so much! Looks awesome.

Yes! I was astonished to learn what flux can do for you.. :)

I was a strong advocat for lead solder as well (despite the negative side effects), but with decent amount of flux it is not really needed.. A bit more heat and you are good..

If too strong, then problematic infeed, but I am also not having the calmest ones and usually can get away by pivoting on some tool or alike..

A cheap hot air soldering station called ZD-939L. Although cheap, it served me very well over the last years.. :)

Or were you asking about the solder paste? It is just a random one.. Not really important. You can use any you can get hold of..

Not sure what you refer to here..

Thanks for caring to comment :)

What do you want to know exactly?
