      @DrZzs  10 месяцев назад +1

      Perhaps, but I am not sure how you would line them up. You could pick a point and have that location lined up but then the rest of it wouldn't line up. In the end I thought that was too much work for a single location to be lined up.
      In all honesty, in order to make it look better we just need more pixels per inch. The 6 pixels per inch just isn't cutting it.

      ceiling fan in reverse on a low speed in the winter will help bring the warm air from the ceiling onto the ground, preventing cold feet and making people less likely to turn on the home heat, saving you energy. ceiling fans use a surprisingly low amount of electricity, especially on low. Clockwise in the winter, counterclockwise in the summer, for the most common blade pitch direction.

    2:15 The voice over says that the Las Vegas MSG Sphere has one LED per square foot. That sounds unreasonably low. The information that I found on the Internet is that the outer area is 580,000 square feet, covered in 1.2 million "pucks" containing 24 LED's each. So I'm calculating 50 LED's per square foot, or 0.3 LED per square inch.

What would be the advantage one has over the other, and is that why you used this specific setup building the sphere?

    • @DrZzs

      Yes. You can upload the sequences to FPP that runs on the Kulp board then you can have them play one by one or you can switch them on the fly using your phone, but I think you need internet connection to go between the two. The phone is easy. I don't know about the Kulp.

      No, sorry. an Octa might be able to do it, but that's because it has 8 outputs. Uno or Quad can't run this many pixels. I guess we forgot to include that there are 6300 pixels. That's too many for an Uno or Quad.

      Cool idea! I'm sure you can run it off of a battery. How long??? I have no idea. Obviously it would depend on how big the battery is. As far as weight goes we can get you a more scientific number, but I would say about 10 lbs. The heaviest component is the power supply. That takes up half the weight.

But I also want those switches to be wired, I also want them to be compatible with future switches. I don't want to replace wires if there will be a better switch out there. I also want like half of my switches to have 4 buttons or more. I want a few to have a dimming option. I also don't want them to use wifi so I dont overload my router. Where the hell do I start. What do you recommend?

    Maybe you should create a Christmas decoration out of this project you make you know make a similar project, but with a little bit of a hook sticking on the top of the sphere called the magic ornament. It is supposed to be a 12 foot diameter sphere that can become any object you want toachieve with the same stuff you use when it comes to the replica Las Vegas sphere

      Of course that matters on the which color you have displayed and the brightness. I haven't measured it but theoretically is should pull about 6 amps.

  • @dejanstanisic8966
    @dejanstanisic8966 11 месяцев назад

    I think that you can get a much better result if the led stripes are black. You have too much light reflection from that white color. Older version is better in that sense.

    • @DrZzs
      @DrZzs  11 месяцев назад

      Yeah, I see your point. We thought white would help reflect the light better, but I don't think we need that much reflection especially since the brightness is typically only around 5-10%. Thanks for watching!

    Anyone can do this,...mm i dont think so !!!! & i am a qualified electronic engineer ,with 20 years.experience, yes ive done similar projects. it takes a lot of man hours ,with good soldering skills & knowledge of components + well expensive, The mechanical POV LED Globe would be more suitable for beginners, it's a lot cheaper and less time consuming to build. This does look well cool though. I was unaware of the las vegas one. Keep up the good work, love it.

    • @DrZzs
      @DrZzs  11 месяцев назад

      Respectfully, I firmly believe that anyone can accomplish this! It took us numerous failures to grasp these concepts, but failure is simply a stepping stone to learning. Starting a project from scratch is undoubtedly challenging, but we've tackled many of the toughest aspects and with a supportive community, there's abundant big brains available.
      I concur that the journey from the beginning wasn't smooth sailing; it took two of us two to three months to navigate through it all. Even then, we relied heavily on our community to figure out the Xlights model.
