Howdy Chad,
Since the first Flitetest I was hooked, because you found the perfect formula: dual hosts, one seasoned, one novice. Your role here is played to perfection, but something is off, namely the characterization of the novice. Bit too sassy, disrespectful and little engagement in learning. Please understand good sir, i've been an ardent follower of yours and wrote for DR1. I also enjoy Rotor Riot which has become a great success. In short, with a few tweaks I believe you have another solid gem on your hands!
Noted. Thank you for the feedback!
Oh man, I remember this kind of feedback
@@MemoirsofWWII It's all positive... at the time, you played it so well, a hard act to follow. Memoirs btw is simply phenomenal sir!!
I built this myself from another random amazon kit. I just have 236 subs when this video comes out. I would like to thank everyone involved on this project and thank them immensely. Maybe one day my counter will go crazy through all the digits ! Thank you all again ! So fun and cheap, and worth having in the background while recording videos to keep seeing channel growth ! You have a lifetime sub ! Credit given in my video when it comes out tomorrow !
Hey, you're now at 952!! Keep going! 👍
@@IzzyOnTheMove Thank you !!!
Great! Can it also work for showing number of followers on Instagram?
Awesome video! Excited to see where this channel goes. You're the man Chad!
Just ordered your kit !! Nice work, looking forward to building it !!
This is sooooo cool. I want to make the big one. :)
This is right up my alley. Always wanted to experiment more with Arduino projects.
Love this!!!
Ordered 2!
We appreciate your support!!
@@HackMakeMod I know you can't really do anything about it but International shipping costs are insane ... Nice to have the option to source the parts on amazon or such !
Been waiting for this one!
Going to be giving this a go! Thank you for this. Looks awesome!👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
This is a totally rad project !! I might have to make one. It would look cool sitting on a self in my office area.
Great!! Now I can count all 5 of my subscribers on my channel I never use🤣
Interesting mod!
That counter counts millions for a reason 🤩
Loved the video. Will definitely be doing something like this with an ESP32 for my channel. Ill post a link once its complete. Thanks so much for the awesome content!!
I used the red tape used for broken tails lights.
Depending how bright you want it, you can use multiple layers.
That’s brilliant! Definitely going to give this a try
You guys are the best!!!
I know this is a fairly old video, but what I was REALLY interested in was the LARGE counter you showed at the end. Did you ever share the design and programming for that anywhere? I'm looking to build one.
This is great!
This is AMAZING! I'm literally buying this for my Channel right now.
I'm so excited and I'm going to put it up so it can be seen in all my videos!
I'm so impressed I GOT IT SOOOO FAST! Mine already came in and was pretty simple to setup. and I messed up a bit and they included a reset button inside that made it super simple! I LOVE IT!
Got the kit earlier this week and got time today to solder them together.. Tested real quick before I had to leave and everything works.. I wonder if there are any ways to edit the code to add other things manually like put "RUclips" then it fades to the RUclips Channel Name.. thanks again for the kit.. I found it quicker to buy the kit than to order from Amazon separately since some of the items were not in stock. Now about that LARGE scrolling one.. I am interested in making that too.. any idea if you will release that on your website or make a video in the near future.. (soon i hope)
Great video! Exactly what I was looking for. Do you have any idea when your kit will be back in stock?
Is this project still working? Trying to put together a "remixed" version with just 4 display units instead of 8 to be more compact. But beyond that it would seem that its not successfully connecting , getting "connection failed" in the serial monitor and also the fade time is way off. I left the default at 3 seconds but its more like 3 minutes. Just wondering if there are some updates required. Thanks!
sweet channel! can't wait to see more
More to come!
i like Chad he is so smart!:)
interesting to see the old Rotor Dr1 channel being used for something again!
Great video I'm going to be building this but do you know if it has to be plugged into the computer at all times
Just ordered the unit from you! Thanks
Just saw it come though. It’ll ship in the morning :)
@@HackMakeMod thank you I appreciate it. I forgot to connect. Done
Is it possible to set 24-hour time? Great project, thank you for sharing. 😊
Great job! Looking forward to trying it myself! I subbed too!
Wow, your editing is so amazing, and having an actual cameraman makes your videos seem so much more professional than other 8k sub channels. Excellent video, so surprised to find only 8 thousand subs on here! I'll sub 😊
Thanks for the kind words!
Just built one of these and its working good, is there any plans to do any updated code to show more socials? i.e facebook page likes or tiktok followers etc as well as youtube subs.
For the technical aspect am I able to do that once the device is built?? I was thinking of making this as a surprise
Hello, great video, i have a question, i want to make a version with just 4 display units instead of 8, can you share de STL with me ? manny thnx
Dope!
Awesome project. Found this by accident for my yt channel as well as wanted to build for my app to see stats. I am so new to all this especially to Arduino IDE. I have my own apps API could I display things like number of users online etc? It receives the data in json format.
Thats nice
HOLY SMOKES!
Me again, would it be possible to make the 3d files available for the full enclose not just the split model? I would like to make some small modifications to it in fusion 360, thanks.
Great tutorial but I’m finding that the site that makes coding easy isn’t working for me. I’m unable to add a site. I know Google APIs change more frequently than I change my socks so I’m not sure if it’s me or the world has evolved in the last year.
Cool 👍🏻
When would the display sub counter be back in stock??
how to config the diy kit for acces the wifi?
nice
this video it's amazing, really like the idea of the interface for easy configuration, it would be great to have a version also with in instagram counter
Coming soon!
This is really cool! Thank you for the beginners guide to soldering, too! Could y'all do a few videos of common things around the home that we could tear apart and mod around the home that are simple enough to keep our children interested, & get them learning, as well as get them into using these platforms for something productive? That list of reasons goes on and on but I would imagine you could not only get a lot more novice adult subscribers, but a lot of younger viewer demographics as well! A sub from me... let's start cracking open some quality time with the kiddos! Y'all would be rockstars if we could get some content like that!
Excellent feedback! Do you have any suggestions on what types of household items to crack open?
@@HackMakeMod so I've got old hoverboards with 18650 batteries... people toss stuff out in the trash all the time... so even if people don't currently have the stuff for the builds that you present, maybe things people would, or could come across... like your clock is really cool... but how many people could really interact with your channel if they don't have a RUclips channel they wouldn't need to build a clock. And some of your other projects are amazing for entertainment, but you would get a lot more traffic if your viewers could interact with the channel. Not to mention all the links that you could put under your videos and get Amazon credits... this sky is the limit & your projects don't have to be too complicated at all... in fact, it would be better for the viewers since they would be participating. Just an idea. I am certainly not telling you what your channel should be. I'm just telling you as an average Joe what would have me coming back again and again, turning on that notification, and sharing with other parents...
Love it.. I've been wanting a subscriber counter for a long time. Looked at Lametric before and not only is it expensive they're also out of stock for who knows how long. I think I'm going to attempt this one. Now just to find a friend with a 3d printer.... Question though... does it show exact numbers or rounding. I'm hoping to have something that shows to the number count, but since youtube changed things a while back I'm finding most counters only count by 10's and then when you hit like 10k it counts by 100's
The way ours is setup it counts by 10’s then 100’s after 10k. I’m pretty sure that’s a limitation of the RUclips API.
Contact us through the store if you need a case printed, I might be able to help :)
@@HackMakeMod thank you. I'll be messaging messaging in the next week or so.
I would love to build the BIG ticker! Do you have instructions on that? Awesome video!
same.. I just built the kit except for the case.. I would like to know if there is a way to scroll.. The larger one looks like it uses addressable LED strips.. I am interested in making the larger one as well.. HackMakeMod are you working on show us that larger one??? 😋
When can we buy this again
Just got around to building this. Your kit was PERFECT !! I will be dropping a video soon on my build. I think you will really like the case I put mine in. I do how ever have one question... Can you make the txt scroll for the channel name? My channel name is long "1620 Garage & Farm" and its cutting off half of it... Im sure its simple code tweak in the arduino. Just not sure where to make it.
Great video! Everything worked out great, except after a week it started showing a message “null” followed by a bunch of random characters. Every time I unplug it and plug it back in it works for five minutes and then does the same thing. Any ideas on how to fix this?
RUclips changed their API last week. It took us about 3 days to get everything back on track. It should be working fine now. Please let me know. Also please feel free to contact us through the website, we usually respond to people pretty quickly.
Kind regards,
Chad
Super excited to build this with my son. He has ~15k subscribers. Excellent videos!! BTW your link to the 3D files in your description is broken. The link from your website step-by-step works though.
Glad you like the project! I fixed the link 👍
i would like to build one that can add all of my social accounts together? how can we do this? Who can we talk to?
Hey there I see its sold out at the moment, are you planning to sell again?
How can we add MM/DD/YYYY display to the code ? I see examples of code out there pulling from the NTPClient, but don't want to break Keith's code !
I’ll look into it and get back to you!
Here is the response from Keith…
“You can simply add another “state” to the state object (ie date=7) and increase the state.count (which is the total number of states), then in the switch statement you can inject the date information when the state machine (function) runs.”
Just save a separate file and experiment. Even if you break it, you can always go back to the original :)
@@HackMakeMod Awesome ! New to this programming language but found what Keith is talking about ! I also had to add another square to the 7819 and edited how many were connected and that allowed my full YT channel name to be displayed ! Powerful unit for the size and cost ! Many thanks for the help and fast reply !
@@EricTechstuffs how did you get your full TY channel name to display? do you have a video of what you did? thanks
I'd love to have a LaMetric but i don't wanna shell out 300$ for it!!! I think i'm gonna try to make yours, and make a video about it 👍
Does not work, compile error at this line sprintf(viewTrunc, "%4.0f%s", viewDec, viewEnd);
ERROR
exit status 1
cannot pass objects of non-trivially-copyable type 'class String' through '...'
Verry Nice, i wondering if it is possible to have a counter for the numbers of downloads from my personal printables or makerbase web page. Thanks for your answer.
Do you know if either of them of publicly accessible APIs?
@@HackMakeMod @HackMakeMod Thanks for your answer. How van i know if there is a publicity accessible API on makerbase webpage
hello chad , great job
Hello! Thank you 😊
@@ChadKapper by the way , david windestall its great creative i have build first tricopter using kk board . i lke good joob chad
Bonjour, est ce que ça fonctionne pour Instagram ?
I am getting an error when compiling that states "cannot pass objects of non-trivially-copyable type 'class String 'through '...' It is doing this error for every sprintf() line there is in each state. Not sure what I am doing wrong as I copied the code it generated. Great build btw!
There is a good chance you’re missing one of the libraries. Please check out our guide to double check…
hackmakemod.com/blogs/projects/diy-kit-guide-building-your-own-subscription-clock
What’s the best way to contact you? I bought your kit and was wondering if I could modify it a bit. Thanks!
Feel free to contact us through this email: ecom@hackmakemod.com
I'm looking for a build that will show the view counts on the latest public video or even the likes, but on the 'most recent' post. Seems simple enough, but I can't track down the coding for something like that.
Let me look into that! I’ll get back to ASAP!
Is there a way to do it so it tracks shopify sales?
Interesting… I’ll look into it
Can't get Social Genius to work. It just keeps clocking. I've tried to message them, but even the Contact form doesn't work. Kinda stuck here. Anyone have suggestions?
I received an email about this yesterday and responded right away. Did you get my response?… please follow the link in the description, we stopped using social genius about two years ago. We have detailed instructions on our website.
I didn't see it. I'll look for it. Thanks so much. Appreciate the response.
is there a way we can make this work for tiktok
This has been working great but recently stopped working, i dont think it can find the information from youtube since updates. is there fix for this?
I thought it was just me cause I just added a mesh network but glad to see maybe its something else. I cant seem to get social genius website to find my channel anymore.
@@ChadsCustomCreations I get day and Time etc then a load of garble p?0 instead of youtube name and a load of characters for the rest . It did this a few weeks ago for 2 days when RUclips updated things then it came back working until last week and its been this way since. It may come good soon but hoping the designer here can find a fix :-)
Very entertaining, but, I'll probably just have you make me one...........😁
Will do… Mom
Love you :)
dolibo code generator does not work - clicking "Code!" button does nothing. Can you please post the code to Github?
It works if you fill out the required sections.
Awesome vid! Wish you had more subscribers
I think this video would be better if the steps were more laymanized and less assumptions for someone new who'd like to follow along
But sick video honestly
Bought this unit. Pretty cool. Question, it says 111,000 subscribers but I have 111,097 ? Is this normal ? 😊
Normally to get more detailed stats on the RUclips counter, you need to select the “scroll“ option on the DoLibo website. But RUclips limits the sub counter to 10’s on channels over 9,999 and 100’s on channels over 99,999 subscribers.This is a limitation of the RUclips API. We don’t have any control over this. With that being said, we have been looking into other ways to scrape the info. Unfortunately we haven’t been able to find a way to gather this level of detail yet.
Hi! this still working in 2023 (december)? Thanks!!!
Happy to hear that!
HOLY SHI1T IS THIS A PHVCKING NIGHTMARE for a blind person.
I got my Hayear 5mp inspection microscope fired up, pointing at soldering mat, with my TS100, flux, silver tip tinner, tip cleaner, sponge, SOS pad, and Kester solder. How the heck am I suppose to bridge these two modules together with the little bridge connector? How are you suppose to solder... under the plastic of the little included bridge connector?
Using packing tape I taped the sides of the panels together to hold them in place. Whoever is the manufacturer could of designed them together so they just snap together and plug into each other.
Looking at it closer, I think I'm just suppose to blob solder across the two pads using the bpard tiny lead to bridge the pads together, which makes sense.
NOpe, I was on the wrong place on the circuit board. I didn't bridge a single thing. I probably screwed up something, who knows. Common guys... :-/
I think I'm suppose to bend a 90 degree angle in the tip of these pins with pliers needle nose pliers and come up through the through holes from underneath.
Ok, I finished all of that nightmare, and mine is making all sorts of random strobscoping red dots Close Encounters flashing all around the displays... so I know I got 5v and ground wired up right... who knows if I bridged any of the other three lines. I can't tell with my inspection microscope. I checked my lines and they are connected to the right pin outs.
I just got it to work. I had a short between 3v3 and D8 / CS !@#$%^^^ who would put a 3 volt pad right next to a control line... grrrr no wonder it was doing a Close Encounters light show. NOT BLIND FRIENDLY PROJECT even if you have all the tools. Only 10 soldering connections to make, but what a PITA because the industry makes things so small. And I do not have big hands. And I'm doing this under aninspection microscope.
I feel like I'm watching myth busters again
Finally got around to building mine !! ruclips.net/video/U2pZJaqxpm8/видео.html
Cameraman. Please. Stand. Still. Please. Please.
thanks for the project, just bought two kits, is it possible to get instagram and tiktok etc added to the code?
Looks Like it has stopped working. Only the Date and Time are displayed and for the Channel it is displayed as NULL and when i try to update the details on code.dolibo the channel is not getting recognised.
Please contact us using the support form on our website and we’ll get you taken care of.
i was wondering if its possible to do the same for instagram
Hello thanks for the video and project. I am a new builder, I ordered the parts and wired it up and started to load the code. I can't seem to get this to compile. thanks a million for your help. Here is the error. Again sorry but I am new to this so learning how to solve issues the best I can. :) (THIS is the stock ticker project FYI)
