A huge box arrived (unofficial mailbag)

Yeah, it's Monday, but this week isn't a "mailbag week".
Except I just got this big box of stuff from Joey.
So sit back and enjoy this unboxing and exploration of whatever hall this stuff is

This isn't the only way to do it.
It's probably not the best way to do it.
But it's how I did it.

[@jstro-hobbytech]

You are the pile of stuff so I sent stuff. Printer cables for first item. Lol pl9823 are neopixels. Just the 5050 are addressable in the smd. I can explain it all to ya if you like in an email. The teensy is a 600mhz arm controller and the ethernet adapter is for your dmx project. I meant to send you a nema23 that was much bigger haha

[@SmokingDiode]

The world needs more Joeys! Nice haul, nice vid!

[@jenntek.101]

Joey, You are indeed kind. I sent a box to my great nephew; he and I share the same birthday. He's 10 and loves electronics! ❤ Old Auntie Jenn here has been fiddling with electronics for decades. I've finally started making things, instead of just fixing things. This hobby keeps my brain active. @Pileofstuff you got a great haul there!

[@TBL_stevennelson]

Are you Canadian aswell. I'm from Ontario, Brampton Area. East Coast was mentioned I wrote this before I heard that part lol. I like to find other Canadians into similar hobbies as me.

[@jstro-hobbytech]

@@TBL_stevennelson yeah man. Cape Breton near where the nfld ferry disembarks lol

[@jstro-hobbytech]

@@SmokingDiode tell my wife that hahaha jk. She's cool.

[@bwselectronic]

I think you're good on LEDs until next weekend. At the least 1 maybe 2 days😊 Very nice haul from a very nice guy. People like Joey are the reason why there's still hope for this crazy selfish world.😎

[@MC-emmcee]

There will no longer be any "mailbag Mondays" because you now have EVERYTHING 😀

[@pileofstuff]

We'll see what happens next Monday...

[@AnotherMaker]

haha that is a heck of a haul. Joey is a good guy. Congrats to your (possible) great grandkids for the leds they shall inherit. May they treasure them.

[@GnuReligion]

Yes, this seems to be the mother of all hauls. Woooo ....

[@richardhalliday6469]

Looks like Joey is the kind of guy that will be on the AliExpress Christmas card list.

[@jstro-hobbytech]

Believe it or not man I paid retail for alot of it. Amazon is as good as aliexpress with a better warranty if you have adhd like me hahaha

[@alien8r33d]

4.9 of 5kg, you got your money's worth Joey, nice one.

[@RonDogInTheHouse]

"Holy shit man, what have you done!" is an understatement. WOW! Take a look at timestamp 10.24, there's a HPDL-1414, four character, sixteen-segment bubble display. That's a cool little display, driven with only 4 bits/pins. Cool haul!

[@chemicalcorrosion]

Do a Friday night kit build! We all buy the same kit. You go live and we all just have a few beers and build the kit with ya. Can interact along the way. I for one would do it!

[@matambale]

Brilliant idea!

[@madcarew5168]

Thank Gawd my buiild area is not alone..a place for everything and everything in every place!!!

[@Steve_Coates]

I love that the videos make me feel better about my workspace and piles of "cool and it'll come in handy one day" stuff.

[@3ATIVE]

HOLY COW!!! How much "Stuff" has Joey got to warrant off-loading this load! What a great guy. 👍

[@jstro-hobbytech]

Man I just told him that for shits haha that didn't even dent anything I have lol

[@fixitman302]

You'll have to have summer heat projects soldering event. The basement is a great place to be when it too hot

[@wrxs1781]

Even as a viewer it is overwhelming, how much is enough, but this stuff is addictive to buy.

[@adam850]

Sounds like you should build a pick-and-place machine for these SMD parts.

[@Pixelwaster]

Pile of Stuff LED Warehouse, where you get LEDs by the kilo. A box maked with that and 2 keys of blue won't have a problem shipping into the US. When can I put in my first order?😂

[@sparkyprojects]

Your house will be well lit up this christmas, viewable from space :D

[@pleasecho2]

Now you can finally get started on that 8 foot LED TV

[@jerril42]

Wow, that is amazing. Thanks Joey. You are going to keep our guy busy for a while. Good luck Mr. Stuff, I hope you find some good use for that pile. Take care.

[@Hasitier]

Nice assortment. If counted by parts this is surely more than in my whole lab. Love the big 10mm LEDs and feel the need to order some.

[@nathanzhao9880]

@7:21, yes it is a practice kit, but it has a function, the name of the kit is 1801 surface mount 15 channel color light controller.

[@pileofstuff]

Thank you! That saves me some research time.

[@mikebond6328]

Dental probing poking tool thing = spudger.

[@stevenspmd]

Well, time to build a few BigClive super computers.

[@ronm6585]

Wow, quite a haul. Thanks for sharing.

[@singlesteve2011]

😆😆😆😆😆My storage problem is not with small things like that but the bigger stuff yeah

[@frankowalker4662]

What a haul. Nice one Joey. 👍

[@TheUnofficialMaker]

you hit the jackpot! maybe you can start doing give-aways!

[@TBL_stevennelson]

I love those Square LEDs

[@georgemoore5307]

Looks like Christmas came early

[@AsilarWindsailor]

Wow. What a cool box to get. I'd like to get a couple for myself!

[@pileofstuff]

I'm lucky to have such generous viewers.

[@onecircuit-as]

Joey you legend! 👍😀

[@MakeChips69]

Wow, now it's time to make some big clive'ish blinky computer alien spaceship led matrix nuclear laser panel indicators.

[@pileofstuff]

That's one of the things that came to mind as I was sorting through this pile.

[@greggsvintageworkshop8974]

Nice Pile of Stuff!

[@tinygriffy]

Merry Christmas ! .. there's no excuse for the lack of projects anymore now ! ;)

[@cutiedevil]

love the mail bag videos there so calming to watch

[@geekrulz1]

the first cable you showed, isn't that for connecting some kind of stepper motor to a standard pin header?

[@pileofstuff]

Good thought

[@freetimeelectronics2341]

Christmas in May !!! Love your videos. Thank you. From Bob KC1STB.

[@mr.makeit4037]

What are you going to do with the stepper motor? A mini wind generator project, perhaps?

[@pileofstuff]

I'm still a bit overwhelmed. Not entirely sure what I'm going to so with most of this stuff yet. Too many possibilities

[@AndyCallaway]

Moar stuff. 👍 😃

[@D3M3NT3Dstrang3r]

Oh how I would love that box lol!

[@pileofstuff]

Yeah, I'm pretty lucky.

[@jstro-hobbytech]

Pl9823 8mm are listed as ws2812b but instead of the normal GRB it's the RGB line you uncomment. Make sure you solder the flash chips onto the teensy 4.1 board before the legs and the ethernet kit is also a dmx controller

[@jstro-hobbytech]

In the arduino ide I mean with the leds haha

[@PaulOvery001]

Joey +1

[@helmuthschultes9243]

Lots of LEDS to play around with, you are unlikely to run out for a long time now....

[@pileofstuff]

I'm overwhelmed by the challenge of trying to use them all...

[@helmuthschultes9243]

Nice!

[@kjur18]

For labeling all my stuff i got a fancy tiny thermal label printer. And I got some cheap labels in various sizes. I labelled some of things, but I struggle with software solution for categorising, sorting and searching for what I need. For now I try to use spreadsheet, because software for labels can import xls files and almost automatically print in batches.

[@RocRizzo]

Does Joey own a shop? LED shop. Maybe I could order parts from YOU after this haul!

[@Throckmorton.Scribblemonger]

You should drink Bud Light; it's free.

[@pileofstuff]

If you can see through a glass of beer, I'm not interested.

[@KARLLARK100]

ello you lucky man keep going lov your vids,.//.,

[@brettb.345]

I saw the Teensy and was thinking “awesome,” but then the realization set in that it was only the Ethernet kit. I got the Teensy 4.0 not long ago. It appears to be the Ferrari of microcontrollers :)

[@jstro-hobbytech]

He has the 4.1 and the extra 2 8 megabyte flash to solder on. I only needed one haha. I included the ethernet part to help him control his dmx project hahaha

[@jstro-hobbytech]

It's the 4.1 teensy board with the kit as well I meant to say. Haha

[@brettb.345]

Nice!

[@HughsScamProducts]

Its funny bc i am getting a package together for you as well. Hopefully it will help with you smd game. Thanks again for all your content!

[@pileofstuff]

Oh, wow. Thanks for thinking of me. I'm always up for a bit of a challenge.

[@RichardSloan65]

Dental?? Glad you are not my dentist

[@Ove_Bjerknes]

Link to the square LED's? :)

[@pileofstuff]

I'm not sure where (or when) he got those square ones. I got some of the smaller rectangular ones in the last mailbag from here: pileofstuff.ca/r/qeeh8

[@tonysheerness2427]

If you solder one led in one second how long will it take you to use up all the led's you have?
