Came back in time just to look for a left pinky. Amazing. R.i.p Pinky... You will be missed. But the channel lives on and thrives in your memory

I also just came back from watching the robot hand video and I didn't even notice she didn't have a pinky! That being said though, I just started watching her yesterday yesterday

very cool, looks great, I just found your site because of the plexi art work you made, could you have used plexiglas for the edges instead of the aluminum strips? Still searching for people that are using plexi to light up and create with. Good work.

It requires total 20 switches to turn on 1 strip you can do rest of the math

Great work on the steps but my only question would be about the velcro. Wouldn't that make a noticeable lump when walking on the stairs?

@Nerdforge 8 жыл бұрын

Thank you! For your question: yes, it is noticeable when you step on it, but it's placed at the back of every step so it's never really stepped on. Visually not visible :) Good question, thanks!

@h4z4rd42 7 жыл бұрын

Like it. (It is funny how you hold the angle grinder sometimes. I'm using such tools for about 30 years but I'd never cut with it flipped over. Haven't you ever experienced any kickback doing so?)

I would love to do this project but use a Raspberry pi and a light sensor to automate the leds 🙂

I am a bit late to the party but that seems serious overkill. A comparator with a FET can do that too

Hey, i really hope you end up seeing this. I am trying to do the LED lights on the stairs the same way you did. What power supply did you use? Also, which LED strips did you use. Ive been trying to figure this out for weeks now! Please help. Awesome build!

Hello! Links for the LEDs are in the description, and this is the power supply: bit.ly/acdcsupply Thanks for your feedback!

@harrystech5637 8 жыл бұрын

Wow, That's Awesome! Maybe when stripping the wires, don't strip so much off (less likely to touch the wire next to it and short circuit) :)

what kind of plug did you use, i see the wire you used but can you tell me was it just a extension cord you spliced or some type of power cord,

@Nerdforge 6 жыл бұрын

Used a 12v DC adapter, and then soldered the LED strips to the positive and negative

@Ezanity 7 жыл бұрын

Very good idea but think I would have glued the carpet down and trimmed those wires back before soldiering to the LEDs so not to cause a short anywhere.and as someone else in the comments said that if you used a different set of led's you could have had rgb and remote controlled/pulse in time with the music.ive subbed to you though.great work.

@alexanderpasnl 7 жыл бұрын

Exactly what I thought. I would have started with the instalment of the leds and I would have gone with a bit better quality of carpet, since this will never stay flat unless glued. Overall it does look quite nice though. That's brilliant of these videos. They give you ideas and you can learn from what do do and don't do.

@LPCliftonMusic 3 жыл бұрын

I’d probably go with white lights as well just because of past experience with RGB light having issues with individual colors burning out leaving you with a strip of lights that looks like crappy because the colors aren’t right.

@ambertatelier376 6 жыл бұрын

good idea.. but i dont really like to see all if those dots from the led strip.. maybe using aluminium uchannel to hide the led strips would've been nicer to remove all the dots..

Very cool project, but careful how you cut the aluminum. A cut-off wheel is definitely not a good choice. See here: www.reddit.com/r/metalworking/comments/29x12u/advice_needed_on_cutting_aluminum/
