You could add as many devices as you’d like actually, omg thanks for the suggestion if we get the right glass person I think we could do a lot with snow globes
Hi there! I sent you guys a message on instagram - I was wondering how I could make this so that the lights are only one color (white) and just turn on and off when the button is pressed
Hey Satyam, I have a writeup with more detail that I put in the description and I also add even more detail to the README of the repository. I suggest reading both. There is another video I made on hosting a web server that explains how to setup the web server part if you would also want another resource
@@tyandgigbuilds8836 hey so I 3D printed the case and have one repo download and working on the other repo however I’m having a really hard time with figuring out bibliopixel and do we need to creat our own web server? Please help I really wanted to get this done for my fiancé’s birthday lol
This is awesome, but you could probably do the same thing with an Arduino-compatible board with an ESP32 wifi chip for way less cash. Make a PHP script to read and write URL variables in order to store or read the RGB value and host it remotely.
Hi i am thinking to buy touch lamps in the place of making them cuz of the stuff are not avaible here... so i was wondering could u just program it directly to be sync? Or is it impossible?
How does the Pi get power? We got the power supply listed in the description but we don't really understand how it's used and I don't see it in the video :(
The 5v power supply is needed if you have a huge string of lights. And it’s not for the pi you use it on the lights. The power supply for the pi comes with the box it’s in
This is really great and such a good idea, thank you. I’m curious about how you would approach this to work for multiple people/lights? Eg if we want to have four people connected to the same box, with multiple leds.
I limited the lights to just a single led because you’d need a 5v power supply to light up more and I wanted the container to be small that housed the electronics. As for the number of people, you can scale up the number to as many as you want, they will all connect to the same server and determine the color from the output of that server. And when they change light colors they will all tell the same server what the current color should be and update the other lights
Also, what type of resistor is it? I am sorry for all the questions, I learned basic electronics in 2017 and I just got into programming and networking over the last year and this would be an awesome way to bring them together. Thank you so much
What do you mean by different wifi network functionality? If you are using a different URL/IP Address you could change that in the code here: github.com/tmckay1/best_friend_light/blob/main/repositories/ColorRepository.py as explained in the README of the repository: github.com/tmckay1/best_friend_light . It doesn't matter where you host the server as long as it is accessible from each client (best frient lamp), you just need to change the url in the link I sent you. You can also find out more about the circuit and power source here: www.instructables.com/DIY-Long-Distance-Best-Friend-Lights/ there is a diagram. I used 220 Ohms I think as the current limiting resistor. Glad to see you're back on the horse!
ok this is sick, is it possible to mod it so you can select the color? or would you just need to cycle through until you hit one you like? alternatively could you put in a custom palette to rotate through?
Yes the color selection can be modified you’d just need to change the hardware to what you want and change the program slightly. We used a push button since it’s what we had on hand and it’s super easy. A custom palette UI would be sick, super easy if you had the hardware too
It will be difficult to find the time to do this, but we are continuing to add details to both github repos (the README is a great resource) and the instructables attached, so feel free to comment on any specific questions. We also have more details on how to run the rails server in another video we made about connecting a web server to the internet: ruclips.net/video/OQcz23NW6VE/видео.html
I'll agree the software side about running the app on PI needs some work. After putting in some time today on this I can't get it to work on a single pi, let alone connecting to web.
The pi zeros are about $30 each, the lights were in a bundle of 50 lights that cost $15 and the wood is up to you so it’s about $75-$90 depending on material to make them. If you want to use them publicly though you’d have to pay for the server in some way
Really cool idea, guessing it wouldn't be to hard to scale it up with multiple devices? I also think a snow globe could be an awesome Christmas gift

Will this work with a Raspberry Pi Pico?
Yes. Should work with a Pico.

@@JOSH10LUKE10 feel free to DM us on instagram with the error you are facing, we'll be a little more responsive there. Our handle is @tyandgig
Can you code this without bibliopixel or no?
where does the power supply go or where does it get electricity from ?
There’s no power supply in this build since it is only a single ws2811 led. The power source comes from the 5v power from the pi
What is the range?

Kinda dumb sounding question, but I can’t find these kind of glass panels anywhere, suggestions?
We got ours at Home Depot acrylic sheets they have a ton
Is this still an active project? I am following the instructables and am constantly running into issues with ruby and rvm?
How did you get on?
Went a different direction and made a successful project.
This is really great and such a good idea, thank you.

@@tyandgigbuilds8836 thank you!
What are the basic steps I would have to take in order to have different wifi network functionality?
Would I need to host the server on each individual pi? or would I need a third pi to host the server?
Also, what type of resistor is it?
I am sorry for all the questions, I learned basic electronics in 2017 and I just got into programming and networking over the last year and this would be an awesome way to bring them together. Thank you so much
I also have a question on how the power source is wired

Please try to do this prject on cheaper boards like arduino or esp32 please🥺🥺

can you guys make a software video? plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

@@tyandgigbuilds8836 A video about the code would have been way more helpful.
I live in turkey and Where can I buy it
Lol you can purchase the brand for a lot of money or build it yourself for cheap
I'll agree the software side about running the app on PI needs some work. After putting in some time today on this I can't get it to work on a single pi, let alone connecting to web.
Going to update the instructables with more info 👍
Circuit name?
The name of the circuit? I’m not sure what you mean. I linked the instructables on the circuit in the description if that helps
is it with wifi?
The raspberry pi zeros are using WiFi to sync the colors but don’t have to be on the same WiFi network if you host the server on a public server
@@tyandgigbuilds8836 is it expensive you think to make the same lamp as: friendlamps.com
The pi zeros are about $30 each, the lights were in a bundle of 50 lights that cost $15 and the wood is up to you so it’s about $75-$90 depending on material to make them. If you want to use them publicly though you’d have to pay for the server in some way

Also can I have one and then give the other one to Ange
