👏👏👏Simply Amazing! Your meticulous approach is just awe inspiring. I've done some projects watching diy's but I'm still fairly new to all this. Im assuming the level shifter was the little black rectangular piece connected to the wemos controller, correct? The wiring of level shifter is the only portion I am bit confused about as I believe its wiring wasn't directly shown, or did I miss something? Again thank you, much obliged & your work is beyond inspiring, an absolute masterclass!!!

This was an incredible video to watch. You are extremely talented. I've been toying with the idea of making something similar to this after seeing the Govee Hexaglide Pro kit. I'm even more keen to attempt this after watching your video. I don't have access to the tools that you have but I do have a 3D printer, so I hope I can replace some of your steps with parts that I can print myself at home. Thanks for uploading this video 🙂

Thank you for your kind comment!🙂 The most time consuming step was making the grid. Most likely I will build a very similar LED-Matrix with a 3D printed grid. But before this I will finish an ongoing project. 😃

Hello! I am trying to understand how the individual leds are controlled. Arent they all connected in series? How do you control individual leds to form complicated patterns? In my mind they could only light up one after the other?
@yotuderoАй бұрын
Yes, the data pins of the LEDs are connected in series. Every LED forwards the data to the next LED. The internal data latch of the built in controller saves the data.

Nicely done. Me thinks rather than a cube you can use only 4 led deep and make it wider instead and use graphic effects to give it more 3d appearance. Just too costly for a full cube.

Honest question: is the aluminium base plate, heat-sink necessary, or extrusion along the edges necessary?
@yotudero2 ай бұрын
I think the aluminum base plate is necessary. Without the heat sink the temperature slowly increases to roughly 40°C in 30min. After 30min it gets really hot. That's why I added the heat sink. The extrusion along the edges is not for cooling. I just like the clean look, it makes it easy to mount the LED Matrix to the wall and it protects the electronic parts on the back.

The capacitor ensures a stable power supply for the controller inside the LED. But it should work without capacitors as most LED cubes don`t have them.

I'm just curious, do you think the heatsinks are really needed? Your baseplate is 5mm thick Aluminium, shouldn't that be enough? Sure, by math that are 1024 with 60mA each at full brightness that can be a lot of heat. Have you measured the temp at the heatsinks after it runs for some time?
@yotudero6 ай бұрын
Without the heat sinks the base plate got hot and some LEDs began malfunctioning. That's why I added the heat sinks. No, so far I haven't measured the temperature. I just touched the heat sinks by hand it felt much cooler, maybe a bit above 40°C.
