Thanks a lot. I will. But time is a bit limited at the moment...

I don't think michael is very smooth in his presentation tbh

@@poptartmcjelly7054 It's almost like he does it on purpose for it to be funny or something, really high level stuff apparently....

"You're smoother than a guy who intentionally isn't smooth." Weird compliment that.

@@deadeyeduncan5022 I'm not saying it's a bad thing, I watch and enjoy a lot of Michael Reeves' content because of his comical presentation style. Just comparing and contrasting. Calm down lol

No doubt. I found him a few months ago from the sprinkler project, but hopefully this gets him some more subs! He's too damned creative and talented to not get some excellent exposure.

Subscribed! 👍

Right? Me too.

I wonder if it would fit inside my case, fractal meshify 2 I have only only one 64x64 panel right now I wonde rif that would fit and if there is a similar project that can use just one panel, also mabe sync with the ARGB effect and just display simple numerical value for temp and maybe colors

do you have a link?

yeah, we would like the link please ^^

@zanphear @Marc Bresson Dont know if this is the exact link but i went looking for similar pannels and this is what i found for 15$ m.aliexpress.com/item/4000029457658.html?spm=a2g0n.productlist.0.0.64b12fa3X6semo&browser_id=6c248af3e61044849961710d7554cab8&aff_trace_key=&aff_platform=msite&m_page_id=174d8fe3ea61043160241c26adf6c27cff04713b51&gclid=&_imgsrc_=ae01.alicdn.com%2Fkf%2FHTB1XxKrbeP2gK0jSZFoq6yuIVXaE.jpg_640x640Q90.jpg_.webp

Do they have the same specs as the Adafruit ones?

Agreed, definitely needs more views and likes. Given how great it is, I'm sure it will get there.

Sorry, it's just a hobby. But if you don't mind getting my code to run or know someone who can do that, it should not be too tough to reproduce.

Maybe one could shave off another millimeter and glue them on instead of sticking them into a frame. But the panels have a finite thickness and will eventually touch on the inside.

Wow, having a subscriber who brags about having subbed early is certainly something surreal to me :)

@@ThereOughtaBe lol, no doubt. That's what you get for being popular on KZfaq. I'm just stoked that you're getting some good coverage on this around the web. Your projects are very nicely done and you deserve some recognition for that! Plus, I see the subbing thing sort of like 'discovering' a band before they get popular. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And "Everything is a .... If you're begge enough"...!

Or he could just dim the entire thing to around 70%... Your suggestion would dim it's appearance to under 5%, and wouldn't work anyway since the FPS is bound to be way too low for that; you'd need an FPS of about 2000. The hardware is already using multiplexing; you're suggesting simulated multiplexing on a multiplexed device, on which you control the brightness anyway via software... Besides, there's no problem when he doesn't need it all lit up.

@@TheMrTape or he could just make a cable to plug into the PC's power supply and put out the back of the case to the cube

This is the product link from my old order: de.aliexpress.com/item/4000219881777.html

@@ThereOughtaBe thank you so much Sebastian!

Hard to tell. I just did not put much thought into that and just monitored the temperature of the Pi 2, which had no problems whatsoever. Note, that not all of the 50W are emitted as light and that the panels also get a little warm - not much, but this also reduces the heat transfer from the Pi to the walls. If you have the tools, you can also try to build a metal cube and thermally connect the Pi to the case to passively cool it directly over the case. I have a Pi 4 running in a compact metal case like that which I bought off amazon and it runs perfectly cool. But that needs designing and a CNC milling machine.

The location of the cpp should not matter as long as you executive g++ from that directory (in my case, I lazily had it in my home dir). Note that in the example g++ command, I have set a relative path for "rpi-rgb-led-matrix", which you should verify along with all the other libs. Haven't thought of the relative path which is unlikely to be correct if you just cloned my repo and naturally placed "rpi-rgb-led-matrix" somewhere else. In any case, without an error message, I am just guessing here...

@@ThereOughtaBe Thanks... You are probably right regarding paths.. I'm not that experienced with g++ so this I have to learn :)

@@ThereOughtaBe Almost there I hope can you clarify what will out contain? float temp? out = str(temperature) + "," + ",".join(map(str, sorted(cores, reverse=True))) in py script since psutil does not seam to work on WIN10 using open hardware as a substitute so I'm remaking your script :)

Yes, it is a string with comma separated values. First one is temperature followed by the load of twelve threads. You might want to modify a few things in the cpp file if your CPU has a different number of threads or a different temperature range. In any case, you should already see the animation in grayscale without the Python script. Would love to see your build. It is nice to see that my project is reproduced.

@@ThereOughtaBe Seems that my power supply is to weak... but I'm getting 5V 10A tomorrow :) hope this solves the voltage drop causing the PI to die...
