Awesome Electronics Workshop LCD and GPS

[sanity599]

I don't think my idea of "booty" an this guys are the same.

[123456789robbie]

"speed, direction, heading" nice.

[robz797]

joe is hot as hell man

[WorldMediaz]

haha dope gonna go in search tomoz

[inyourfacesociety]

This video is interlaced as fuck.

[qwopaskl10]

where can i get a gps like that

[techyknowsbest]

did you film this on a tree?

[teknoguy1212]

Press 9 and 4

[robin5543]

What did you leave there?

[nextblain]

omg i saw the guy on left in discovery channel!!

[Pagweb]

Can anyone tell me, if I waned to learn how to build devices of this type in general, what kind of books or online video should I be looking for. That is, what is the name of the field that deals with this? I know BASIC programing, but I don't know how to build devices and I would like to. Thanks in advance.

[nazaninkarchi24]

my names kevin i have madea project and im 6

[Stuntmonkey4U]

Sooo....according to the GPS on their computer screen this was filmed in Washington State.

[jjppmm29]

Hello i was wondering if there is some good resources for microchip to microchip communication i understand byte transfer process and everything but it dosnt seem natural to me it feels to simple as if there should be more to it

[Jimmylieb]

Joe Grand,

I am a big fan of your products! I especially like the RFID reader. Wireless communications like that are very interesting. I will look into getting the gps too, that would be great to integrate into my parallax projects!

[ClariVideo]

I would like to know more about this GPS stuff I'm working on a Awesome project and your cool ideas will help. I would like to add an speech ship too.

[SOEINEGAUDI]

it's like a treasure hunt... for neeerds :)

[antiussentiment]

@SOEINEGAUDI does that mean there is also a treasure hunt for non-nerds too? LOL

[adamlumpkins2000]

love it but if you guys have a crazy fan base i would hide some of that info lol

[basiljonesjr]

lol. kool

[superawesomesuperkid]

i thought ti said lsd...

[JeremyB796]

everyone where i live would just take the box

[yotamarker]

BUT, you didn't explain how to make an lcd display you bought it premade

[GTXAbunada]

@yotamarker You don't make LCD's, no one does, if you want to manufacture your own LCD you will need to understand its electromagnetic polarization and have very sophisticated manufacturing equipment that can work with distances in the micrometers. Oh and did I mention that these cost 100+ grand.

[GreeblyChicken]

@GTXAbunada I think he meant how to make an LCD that runs off 3 pins, two of them being power and ground.

[Sidowse]

@yotamarker you need a Multiplexer-circuit which makes it possible to display the data on all digits of the display (lcds flash on and off really quickly due to the multiplexing) and a display-encoder which takes the data and turns on the relavent LEDs.... The LCD display is the easy bit, I want to know how to make a GPS from basic ICs. Although I don't mind trying to work out how myself.

[TeenageIronman]

@yotamarker ya cuz lcd is complex u fukin

[cosmiccooosmic]

totally made sense when you hooked it up to pin15

[rfjgfude]

lol, 'find yourself some booty', that was funny

[wa4aos]

Hi Guys,

Great video... I do have a question. I need a 10 MHz reference to use in my electronics lab to sync up my HP counters and signal generators to a known accurate reference.

What would be required to grab the GPS 10 MHz reference signal from your set up?

I can purchase older GPS receivers used by the Cell Phone industry from several chaps in Asia who make them available on ebay for this application but rolling my own would be more fun.

Regards,

Glenn

[MJLaukala]

For all you guys having trouble remembering the table or are still looking of a "cheat sheet", I wrote a free program to help you out. Here is the link to the quick tutorial on how to use the program. The download link is in the description. youtube.com/watch?v=nolRA9ZmK-­U

[Films4You]

Argh!! was the shoot on a Mobile Phone

[tomek123kotek]

i prefer complex logic systems to this stuff

[Ciphertechnologies]

dont act smart.. tell me the internal working of this..

[drewp03]

1:07 - lolll Check out his twitch :P

[Legendofeddy]

Can we actually find treasure with the help of this device. WOW

[atentat07]

boring

[scorpionkings]

Leave a used condom lol

[alexsignji]

i cant find the schematic and the sample code on the makezine , does anyone know where to find it ? can provide me a link ? thanks alot

[valiza123]

that lcd has a integrated driver... i doubt it's cheaper than 15$

[TRONhack3r]

Good at explaining stuff. Like no!!

[AdamColombus]

whoa! Watch my GPS video to see what happened after I listened to these guys.

[ElectroCompuGeek]

I thought the Clinton Administration discontinued the public from using military GPS satellites.

[donahuerules]

i found something like that geo cache when i was hiking by accident

[bulls7123]

I'm glad I'm an electrical engineer, it's just so interesting.

[qqtyin96]

thats called a basic stamp kit and it is super easy to programe

[bestSVMS]

I think the gps reciever is 70$, and more money for all the varius other stuff. Total probably 120$?. You could buy one that does more, but isnt as cool for less.

[Xslane]

S IS FOR SUCKS! Haha, jk, these guys are awesome.

[MrMishaaaaaaa]

you are cute

[Pandalol1337]

Go out and find yourself some booty!

[AurimaxII]

@Pandalol1337 why don't you set an example first.

[chrisbx1975x]

nice, hacking is fun. 'a treasure hunt for nerds', ha.

[tronulu]

2:00 - 2:04

"now you've seen how easy it is to make LCD say whatever you want"

no we didn't...

[MrR0adrunner]

they are weird but fortunately i like weird people. i want to be like them...

[bangurdead102]

Do the mention how much this devise cost to make, in total? I mean that compared to the next cheapest portable GPS, would kinda be handy.

[Rauxiz]

it's joe from protype this on discovery :D

[Bennyisfenny]

Hey Guys, I'd like to create a device that receives GPS data and transmits information collected (pretty much the receiver that you designed) where did you find the receiver/how did you design it. Any tips on how to get started?

[dmgcat]

Wow pretty cool. You guys make it look real easy.

[keithgarry]

Wow you made electronics fun. (HOW IT SHOULD BE!!!!) Thanks for that.

How did you program the LCD? USB cable? Also what language is it? Assembly?

[KKinsane2009]

lcd don't need manual degaussing :) thought I should point this out cause most other types of monitor/screen DO pick up static.

[DanFrederiksen]

he sucked on prototype this too : )

nah just kidding, big fan of the show. real shame it was cancelled. I had the perfect 2 projects for them to build. could have been world changing. this one first "zev. dk" and then a variant with a lifting body and a ducted fan prop behind the driver so it is both car and plane. first practical flying car in the world

[FinalStarmanDX]

My dad helped develop GPS when it was being developed for military only use back in the day :D also, great video! :3

[rhathid]

I totally wouldn't be showing my GPS data if I was at home with a video online. Might as well be posting your address.

[vanepico]

Oh my god! its you from that 'prototype this' program! small world ey :)

[ddkclap]

frikiiiis

[PeeteyP]

Pardon my ignorance, do u need to subscribe to a service to GPS info, or is it free?

[pweigle]

GPS is free.

[johnnyjohn2005]

@PeeteyP It is free, although if you live in the UK, it'll probably taxed at some point in the next 10 years.

[apuhjee]

"We've revised our position" ??? ... uh ... so the GPS you built was a big FAIL huh? Uh huh...

[dalbir122]

kipkays better!!!!!!!!

[Lokivoid]

kipkay does not know what hes doing hints all the simple halfassed projects he does.

[stinkyhamster111]

he does, but not half as much as bre, and hes got the wrong aditude

[vfelzmann]

haha, 39th Ave.-San Francisco

[chakiller36]

@vfelzmann HAHA!?

[vfelzmann]

it's a "brazilian laugh" writed, like the spanish: "jejeje", can be used too: kkkkk, hehehe or hihihi. i writed this cause i found the adress with the coordinates that appears in 3:10. sorry, my english is very poor.

[chakiller36]

@vfelzmann Yea i get it. I just found it a little imature to say haha and nothing more. (:

My English is worse

[NTComputer86]

ur camcorders on picture mode

[Timberwolf2979]

It's actually cheaper now to buy a brand name GPS. The Parallax GPS reciever module is 80 bucks alone. A Nextar or Rightway is 70 bucks for the whole charger, mount, voice prompts, etc.

[bestSVMS]

@Timberwolf2979

ime sure you can find cheaper modules

Nextars work good? You get a tomtom for

90$

but thats not as cool as building you own

[30GB]

treasure hunt for nerds

LMAO

[connellboy18]

hey i see all your vids where did you get the parallax bord from

[jaapiyo]

Joe Grand is great

[MrJustdontcare]

How much is the gps chip and ware can i get 1?

[hitachi088]

@MrJustdontcare

maybe 30$ and the lcd 5-10$ . the board they pin down everything cost like 30-50$ i dont know ... so it is like a 50$-100$ GPS ...

[gtq838]

@MrJustdontcare they are chep and can be bought online from a billion places

[5445252]

@MrJustdontcare you can get it at Perallax and if i remember right it is like $34. I think.

[donutsprinkles99]

@MrJustdontcare adafruit industries

[mrvastly11]

@MrJustdontcare dealextreme(dot)com ;)



[Farquarify]

you guys are idiots and obnoxious.

[jodex96]

If someone knows where to get a code to Arduino, PLEASE tell! Thank you.

[jnkevin]

What circuit did you use to connect the LCD and the GPS receiver. Is it a PIC programmer ?

[simpsonizer]

It's a BASIC stamp lol

[fxxfred1994]

Hi, I new to the arduino "world" and I don't no much about it i've watch about all of your arduino videos and I camed with an idea. This idea was to take an arduino and hook it up to a Servo motor, using in to unlock a door lock. And then using this project to unlock and lock a door by entering a code on my computer. I would really appreciate you guys making a DIY video on that project!

Thanks in advence!

[RealNeurotiq]

i wonder how much that cost to make

[HobieTyourtube]

Guys!!--------electronics is SO fun these days.

Watching your video--everyone can-made STUFF!

Like a "swipe "of one's arm-it is there?

Amazing--I must of tapped into a new dimension?

Steve.

[Yojimboshi]

bullshits? I dont see anything technical, its all just empty talks. He didnt even show us how tat LCD display tell them the location....

[edv11nas]

looks cool but I don't understand anything XD

[siovan7]

Is this SAM THE COCKING GUY...?

[cordcole]

how can you integrate this into a gps tracker and you can view this in Google earth at real time.

[cobra1a1b]

I can do that too.

[volvo240tubo]

joe form protype this

[shfbdfi1273]

I want to be a geek too.

[jamescgale]

I'm about to pour $600 into a new GPS that garmin makes for my geocaching hobby. If I was as smart as these guys I'd make my own.

[FLABERGAG]

You guys really are ninjas! Pro on most of the vids. Props guys.

[FFHELL]

you both really made me laugh (2:37) ^^

and yes, it was interesting (partially) xD

you treasure-hunting-nerds

[nerdydev]

gow geochashing!

[spuzzdawg]

Why bother using a parallax modified LCD? It's not like a standard HD44780 is very hard to use.

[buttonsmasher94]

S is a hard one lol

[CAIDMASTEROFPYRO]

sorry about joe pod imeant joe grand

[CAIDMASTEROFPYRO]

is joe pod the guy from prototype thid on discovery

[sargeantneo1]

that is so cool that there is like a society that hides containers and peopel can exchange treasure, and only certain peopel can find it, that makes you feel really special (in a good way). to know you are part of "a secret society" how cool is that.

[jamescgale]

Actually Geocaching is pretty common. One just so happened to be hidden like 150ft from my house. So I run into them fairly often. We even have geocach gatherings and BBQs and get drunk occasionally. What else can you ask for? It's fun.

[gusman247]

haha right when he said "smooth and efficient" my computer froze.

[Wizard101Official]

Their Location 090 47' 20.0" N 122 29' 57.0"W

[dnave21]

@Wizard101Official lol

[zorroboricua]

Is wrong the real location is:

30" 47' 20.0" N, 122" 29' 57.1"W

[badfender223]

Love it fellas! Keep up the good work

[random123outburst]

lol joe grant is "prototype this" still on

tv?

[Willdavis4]

love these guys

[porche3r]

your u from prototypethis lol...

i am serius

[bonesman]

Great work, seems really funny :D

[noobrication]

Geochaching Fuck Yeah!

[Mofo3210]

How much is a GPS chip, like the one used in this video?

[khaledkhal]

I just bought one and it costed me $80 and $10 UPS shipping.

Buy it from parallax website.

[tangnatalaga]

Pretty neat I was gonna buy that stamp project kit from fry's electronic, but it was a little expensive.

[eaglestorm24]

lol they had a camera recording another camera recording them

[vroom350]

Great! excellent nice it. How could you make GPS transmitter send to receiver connect computer track or map?

[D0NPIERRE]

i wanna know that too.

[displayblog]

wow. for a non-engineer it's the closest i've got to actually understanding how to build electronic gear. cool.

[cheezeheads]

Joe, Joe from prototype this? it looks like him!

[Weeble818]

yep

[rodstartube]

not funny

[agentbong138]

Wonder what they left in the cache for the next cacher, I wish I could have been the next cacher, maybe they left directions to find their homemade GPS hidden somewhere nearbye. That would be cool

[mesaesptruck]

I am a guitar player and decided to go to school for electronic technology. This stuff is awesome... Geocatching?

[AzBirdDog]

You are almost on the same path I took. I have always liked electronics. I played guitar for about 23 years, got bored because the music started to suck, then got into building electronic gadgets that do absolutely nothing...lol.

But, It's fairly easy to understand, and knowing that you understand it is the coolest part.

I mean, you can create stuff thats never been created.

[kirgy9]

this video is where i found out about geocaching, and now i have found 76 XD awsome!

[forsaken7754]

geocaching is fun =P

[1hugeboom]

go geocatching

[localbroadcast]

how much is the cost for this kit??

where would i find info on hooking the gps and lcd onto an arduino board instead?

[OSKARIUKS]

iam watching Joe Grand now on prototype this

[tameraby]

i need the datagram plz

[Animefanboy25]

they look so great together

[dragonsofly]

they look like FAGS together, huh, huh i wit me? DO U FEEL ME!!!!

[localbroadcast]

dude they are nerds leave them alone. ur obviously nerdish yourself for viewing and commenting on this vid...... so please dude... fellow nerd jus tryin to get laid! we aint gay jus curious

[1996kevin2007]

on what for webseite does one find the Probram? to prokramieren

[HaydenPK]

easy? serious understatement

[Mafiaboss58]

i wish i was that nerdy

[RokSrakaCar]

what do you think is a better microcontroller for robots: BS2 or arduino?

please reply!

[CDMCSD2]

AVR or AVR32

less professionally: PIC

[tHaH4x0r]

Like CDMC SD2 said avr, so in your case arduino ( works with avr)

Basic Stamp works with Pic.

Iam also hooked up with AVR, but it doesn't really matter.

its when you get started in one brand its not so likely to step over to the other brand.

[xato909]

it´s HARD

[Ye7ia07]

Kind of idiotic to describe how to integrate a GPS and an LCD not showing their programming steps. : l

[arg13415]

maybe it's on their website? idk

[logos2600]

2:30 what a quagmire

[brenyboy26]

does those three pins connect or get pushed into that white base, then that whole PCB is plugged into the computer by some sort of data cable? so that they can modify the data for the LCD screen??

[fogglee]

"that white base" it's a breadboard you idiot

[fogglee]

you guys must be loaded

[chaosmutt]

hell yeah, bre is rich as fuck

[34cybertron56]

Thank you for replying to my message. I will visit the web page for more info on the projects. Sorry for the misunderstanding on video length. Your projects are very interesting and i am more of a beginner on learning about electronics so the web page will be helpful. Thanks again!
