Peggy 2 RGB demo

[TheColt44s]

Buy a tripod bro

[LTcrew]

How much is this baby?

[Mr0Whitey]

impressive

[pillowcase1]

this is super cool.

[zooto68]

How do you get RGB to work with this circuit? Looking at the schematics ther are pins only for 32 columns and rows. With this many RGB LEDs you would need 100 pins per side of the square right? Did you need to add more chips than is in the schematic ?

[oskay]

@zooto68 Look more closely at the video.  There are no RGB LEDs, just "superpixels" made of a 2x2 square, where each square has red, blue, green, white.

[kepplerh]

where do i get one?

[oskay]

@kepplerh At the Evil Mad Science shop. :)

[blindsniper24]

learn to speak up

[LetsStartARiotJordan]

Does it blend though

[jigibao]

wery nice

[jennytillz]

This is a Great Demo where can we get the sketch.

[oskay]

@jennytillz Follow the link in the video description; it's there for download.

[NeverEvero]

That is freakin Awesome!=)

[TheComputerNerd0101]

Ahhhh, my eyes!

[33127755]

make a RGBY not RGBW

[jlaer3]

@nikkoresendiz lookup oled thin as paper, super clear, un-breakable tv

[mosle123]

1:47 = holy shit!!!

[mafurock33]

this looks gorgeous~ do you have any examples of how it looks when you mix in the white in animatons?

[outbackshaqYT]

12x12 display. who needs HD any how XD

[craigfromnewcastle]

cool!

[bionic003]

you should program it to play snake

[TheDudeFromCI]

awesome, How can people dislike this????!?!?!?

[msplace08]

very nice!! I'm also developing a display with rgb leds. see my channel

[ElRhinoProductions]

Direct X 1.1 in all its glory people

[oskay]

@ElRhinoProductions Riiiiiiiight. Let's see how well M$ software runs on a 16 MHz processor with 2 k of RAM. Good luck with that.

[ElRhinoProductions]

@oskay possibly pretty well considering that 16MHz and 2K RAM would have been a super computer in the time DX1 would have existed :P

[4543563]

Owned. It's Direct X 1.1 :P.

[KingSkulkZ]

oh great, just like acid

[NamelessGiraffe]

damn i thought he was going to play a video or something

[intelinsideTV]

i got some of that same see thru paper when i ripped apart the screen of a laptop i found on the side of the road (broken of course)

[DigitalCapeTown]

Dammit dude! One word: tripod.

[matthew99445]

How come you didn't use tricolor LEDs?

[zeroyon01]

I just bought one of these. I'm looking forward to getting it working, but not looking forward to soldering those LEDs on.

Anyone found a good way of mounting plastic just above the surface?

[oskay]

>Anyone found a good way of mounting plastic just above the surface?

There are four corner holes that you can use to mount standoffs, raising a diffuser up about 3/4" above the surface.

[007ghg7]

have you thought of using lego bricks?

[twoguysonebit]

We are in the process of making a 16 x 16 LED matrix and soldering for that has been painful. We also don't have a custom PCB for it...

[BerryishCherry]

U made it's vid on my b-day

[konrad12xpl]

wow !!! its awesome !!! :D

can you make another animation of this ? like two waves not only one ?

[meb5]

I just built one, and it's so neat! The assembly was lengthy but easy, and the instructions were _perfect_. The RGBW LEDs are an interesting trick, but I loaded mine completely with the diffused blue ones. Nice. The development software is readily available, and I had custom code running in a jiffy. Well done Evil Mad Scientists! :)

[Th1s1sMyAcc0untNam3]

omg i wanna make this no matter how long it takes

[jaloskee]

hahahaha lol

[WASDsweden]

Maybe this could be used on PC monitors to make the pixels impossible to see, infinite definition :)

[Arkaniad]

No, you'd have less pixels, therefore lower def. You'd just have a blurry, low-def screen.

[WASDsweden]

@Arkaniad Yes if you have it too far away from the screen, but if you have it really close so it would give like 0.5% blur i think it could give positive effects.

[PepinoMM2BR]

only if your intent is to display abstract pictures, I guess

[skeezysquirrel]

Wow. Did you have to assemble that? Did it come with instructions?

[oskay]

It's a DIY kit of ours; it does come with instructions.

[musicalmiller]

that is amazing! is that how led tvs work, but with much smaller leds?

[nikkoresendiz]

@oskay Next goal: Design a super-thin LED TV that uses small, but powerful LED diodes.

[cobrachoppergirl]

I want to do this but use black LEDS. How much would 625 black LEDs cost?

[cknj3746]

wtf is a Black LED???

[briansuxxx]

good stuff. you should post a "how to" showing how you made it

[tinkertoytulipboy]

This is very cool!

I would like to make a programmable disco floor.

I do have one major concern though. The way I would set it up is to have each 2x2 pixel in one 6"x6" square of the disco floor. it would be a 12x12 grid of 6"x6" squares.

I'm wondering whether those 2x2 pixels would be bright enough to illuminate the 6"x6" squares they would be housed in.

And if not, is there a way to get brighter LED's on the peggy board? Possibly with an external power source or something?

[Fowtowsjop]

hurts my eyes >.> but NICE lol :D

[webdoggboy]

looks like plasma...

you could makeit rotate and there will be such more pixles, just find out the rotade speed and you can set every led light up on a special position.

could be 2.5 instead of 5 mm betveen the pixles

[oskay]

Thanks!

[BOUTCHesti]

Totally Awesome Mister Evil Mad Scientist :)

[hammondeggs49]

heh an inverse bayer filter ;)

[anthony62490]

I would love to see what a demoscene artist would do with this. They could probably make some sort of video out of this.

[Nethackrules]

interesting

[firesyphon]

Dude, thats trippy!!! XD

[TIVL82]

I've seen long strips with an array of RGB-leds- last year at a Microsoft convention, hanging back to the presentors as a "curtain", forming a display.

If interested I might be able to find you a video or picture of this.

The colorblending with the paper sheet is fascinating !

[scwounch]

Why even have white LEDs?  Seems like you could make white with just RGB. Is it just to make the "pixels" square (2x2)?

[finalconsecration]

Probably. It's easier to measure out, I'd imagine.

[GeneralLazySpoon]

suggestion: frosted glass container running water through it and place the LED matrix behind it. frosted glass would diffuse the light and the running water would just be a cool effect to scatter it from the inside. container could have 1 clear side (LED side) and 1 frosted side (viewing side) and i imagine you'd get a pretty trippy effect.

[CurrentOverflow]

Hey where do you get a diffusion sheet like that? Excellent work :)

[qwertyboy1234567899]

just buy a piece of plexiglass and sand it so that you cant see through it anymore

[bajer111]

Aarh, soo coool, where can i get one that is assembled? im not much of a tech freak on that area :S

[gam3raddict89]

at the beginning I was like "im gonna make one of these but put a white sheet on it instead of those dumb lights". looks like you beat me to it.

[HIM4NOS4WXZ]

i want this in my room. soo trippy i love it

[iPattv]

i want that now it is cool

[007ghg7]

can you hook up multiple up and make a tv

[texasranga]

it'd have to be a big ass tv! regular tv pixels are super tiny... with these it'd have to be like a hundred feet long

[hellsmaw84]

the japanese are already working on such a device but using smaller LED's. the ones they built for thier horse race tracks, each section requires its own air conditioning system because the LED's can get to be hot along with the computer system that controls the displays.

[devxc]

awesome thx!

[mikeydragon13579]

awesome

[failingcargo]

Am i the only one that sees swatchsecas?

[sweetnessonice]

No, you're just the only one who cares.

[failingcargo]

hey dnt be a dick i was just wondering

[MindstormsBot]

awesome! that's so cool!

[heja2]

COOL! :P

[Xxero0]

I taste fruit loops...

[zizohero1991]

that's awesome

[t1mmy13]

This is really cool

[driveonyo]

thats awesome how much do those things cost

[millymadison123]

your voice is very soothing....

[gabrielusa911]

u might be a nerd...

[niksa53]

hahahahhaha =D

[Sasuki774]

haha nice one

[77josh77]

whoa thats awesome

[oringetoe]

i have a large turtle and a smaller one. i have no problems with either of them yet, touch wood

[jellevarkensgek]

where can you buy this thing????

[oskay]

>where can you buy this thing????

This is a Peggy 2 from the Evil Mad Science Shop, with the RGBW LED bundle.

[bigboss445]

can you buy them or do you make them toyr self?

[BananaBoxMonkey]

WOW, how much did i cost u to make?

[BomberM7]

great video!!!

it really looks awesome how the coulors flow on the milky glass :)

wonderful job

[MDragonFang]

dude now you posted this it might be no surprise to fred anymore

[thadude1337]

damm!

[BomberM7]

why should they unsubscribe

theyre may be stupid enough to subscribe fred but not so stupid to follow such an idotic action xD

[thadude1337]

exactly.......................­..

[WASDsweden]

wow :)

[mashedpotatohamster]

what is the diffuser material? where did you get it?

awesome btw..

[oskay]

>what is the diffuser material? where did you get it?

Some scrap acrylic from the local plastic shop.

[mashedpotatohamster]

thanks

did you sand it or did it come with that rough finish? i've tried sanding acrylic and don't get results as good as yours :/

[oskay]

>did you sand it or did it come with that rough finish?

This is actually translucent white plastic. We've actually had good luck sanding clear acrylic, but you need to (1) use a powered orbital sander and (2) sand on both sides.

[mashedpotatohamster]

great. thanks so much for the information, I really appreciate you taking the time to share it.

one last question - it's hard to see from the video - what's the minimum distance between LEDs and diffuser for the effect to work?

[oskay]

>what's the minimum distance between LEDs and diffuser for the effect to work?

For these diffused LEDs, about 1 cm. For tightly focused LED with clear lenses, it can be much further.

[arghPeteyPirate]

how much did it cost to build? or make? or buy?

idk.....

but its really good to see that you've commented on your videos! some people dont do that and it seems kind of fukt people dont apreciate there viewers

[jimbopotemkin]

Extremely very cool - but why do the evil mad scientists hate tripods and cameras with image stabilization?

[oskay]

>but why do the evil mad scientists hate tripods and cameras with image stabilization?

Actually, this was taken with image stabilization. The videos look pretty freaking boring when it's just a tripod... we've done that too.

[Chubbbs117]

Very cool

[broaff2]

awesome, thanks for uploading

[Dojan5]

That's really cool.

[blismwithmyblizblop]

that looks so fun!!!

[BudaTomu]

cuadriple awesome

[djteac]

I definately want one.

Wouldn't it be possible to adept that design to RGB Leds?

You know, those who got all 3 colors in it you can actually mix.

Thats the first thaught i had, and with Red Blue an Green, you won't need white.

[Hotbagels]

Very Cool

[JLsoft]

Burp @ 1:29!

[vgt7]

dude that is sooo cool!

[xdarkiller]

triple awesome

[trevorm1]

double awesome

[Crittijr]

awesome

[11mc22]

how do you make this stuff?

[oskay]

>how do you make this stuff?

With a soldering iron! This is built from an open-source kit-- you can download the plans for the project and build it on your own, or start from a kit.

[11mc22]

Is there any books out there where I can learn to make and even design my own LED board?

[azh01e]

i was trippin...

[121q1w1]

This is awesome xD

Those are some big LEDs...

[slomo8888]

you're a genious man!

[GmanX101]

wow

[asdfidot]

Been a sub for a long time, this video is amazing.

[dyldyljkj19]

awesome! Nice! Fantastic!

[cococolakid]

cool!!!!

[barrab]

Awesome.

[MrZeus7]

Friggin awesome! :D really cool, guys

[6663000]

That's mad cool.

It would be interesting to see a full sized wall made out of that stuff.

[studiojulio]

that's very interesting. I hadn't ever consciously noticed the blending effect a matte object had on light.

[djteac]

Yeah, its amazing if you think about that a TV uses the same effect (get really close and you can see it) but this is also the first time for me to see that effect so clearly

[lancertelstar]

mega cool

[10bHCG]

wow - that's nice

[reure]

pretty good stuff! congrats!

[squishfaceofsaryrn]

neat

[BillyTheTapeworm]

that's really interesting

[dardraa]

cool
