Ah amazing! Been working on one myself for a year! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with! I'm up to 15 puzzles with dynamically changing solutions...Keep Thinking and Nobody Explodes style, but each mistake changes the next step. Keeping me very busy in my spare time!
Great library to use for simple communication. I'm using 16 arduinos and I found out that you can't chain them for the communication wire. More than 6-7 in a row and you lose communication but if you do an star and each path has 3-5 arduinos, it works so far for me
Nice! I started on a similar project last month and it is so interesting to learn about PJON. I'm just using an Arduino Mega2560 with all the modules feeding directly into it (with nearly every pin in use!) but I really like your idea of each module having its own nano - that is really going to cut down all the inter-module wiring! You may have provided me with a nice alternative just in the nick of time since I'm at the stage where I'm ready to start 3d printing and assembling the components - thanks for that!
Weirdly, I'm building a pseudo arduino network literally at the moment, I had been simply pulling a pin low via a relay and having a common ground so that my 7 different arduinos in the escape room "feed back" to a central arduino which controls sound and dmx, saying when each element is complete. I might just take a look at this instead. Thanks so much for this.
I believe you can, yes. The only issue is that RaspPis run at 3.3V rather than Arduino 5V, so which voltage you choose to run the network at, you'll need to incorporate a level shifter for the other device(s)
@@ImperialLightandMagic That's basically exactly the same decision which I came to yesterday, after realising the Arduino UNO I started with wasn't going to be beefy enough to handle all the requirements of being the "master" controller - and basically trying to simulate all the things you'd expect from PC-based escape room control software, but on a little diddy microprocessor.....
Great job on the video. I like the new format! How often do you plan on releasing each video in the series. I am going to try to follow along and do my own build!
i just recently discovered your page, but you be familiar chris ramsays youtube page? he contracts different creators for making him puzzles to solve on his channel, you should hit him about about doing a collab if you havent already. :)
Not quite - ESP_NOW requires devices to be paired, so that's more like Bluetooth. This is going to be more like an adhoc network that devices can just drop in and out of.
I love your philosophy and your willingness to share so that others can follow along! You're an inspiration!
Nice Video! I am already looking forward to a new video from this series!

It wasn't originally my intention to make a "Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes" physical version, but it could end up going that way....
Hugely helpful! Thank you
Hey ! I'm looking forward watching all your videos ! :)
Thanks you a lot for your work !!!!
Off to an AWESOME start! I can't wait to see the rest.

Would be good to know if you can use this to get arduino interfaced with raspberry pi.
I believe you can, yes. The only issue is that RaspPis run at 3.3V rather than Arduino 5V, so which voltage you choose to run the network at, you'll need to incorporate a level shifter for the other device(s)
@@PlayfulTechnology I wonder then if a shift to ESP32 might be in order for me, that runs at 3.3v :)

Brilliant !
Thank you for another high quality video.
If you ever need work just join our high school staff! 😉
Here's a tip for using your wire stripper. You can strip more than one at the same time :wink: Love the content, subscribing.
Oooohhh this gonna be good

Probably a couple each week - we'll see how it goes!
I just posted a video about an escape room we set up at our church. We also used an Arduino

does really Arduino mega has not enough flash memory or don't use one for the fun of trying esp32 ? : )
Nice video, is it like esp_now just in cabled version? Have you videos about esp_now?
Not quite - ESP_NOW requires devices to be paired, so that's more like Bluetooth. This is going to be more like an adhoc network that devices can just drop in and out of.
you lost me at slavery
