Building the Ultimate LED Matrix Dashboard

[@Tech-Random]

The level of polish is super impressive. Having the apps do different things depending on the orientation is really creative. I need to spend more time on the software side of my projects so they look as good as this!

[@RufiiiSe]

nie ma tu nic polskiego kolego

[@AndrewSmart32]

You're a legend for providing all the code, I love that Spotify display aesthetic. Once I've got some spare time, I'm definitely making something like this

[@EctalZero]

Where did the code go ? He removed the links and the repo is not on GitHub anymore.

[@dazealex]

Where's the code? Didn't see it linked in the description.

[@traubedev]

@@dazealex i think he removed it.. also not public on github anymore

[@JNinMC]

I saw this on reddit and will definitely have to make myself a version of this. Really nice job. Something that could possibly be improved upon is the contrast between 2 active pixels. I'm thinking an even lower layer height for the screen area, black filament for the grid, and white/transparent filament for the screen. Maybe this could make the colors pop a bit more? Overall, really like the implementation.

[@allenslab]

Thanks for the rec! Yeah that should be able to increase the contrast, I should get some more colors of filament to try it out.

[@SoloElROY]

I've been dreaming of making this project myself... Probably I'll never do it or not in a time soon. So glad to see it alive and much better than I could ever make! You basically tackled all the requirements in my head: - Tasks - Pomodoro - Music - No visible LEDs - elegant design Congratulations!!

[@MichaelSchultzSF]

The quality here is incredible. Love your product design as well. I’ve been playing around with these matrix panels for a while. One of the best implementations I’ve seen. Would be cool to see what other uses you could come up with.

[@TeaserOfBears]

I usually don't extend my subscription list anymore and can't be bothered to write comments at all. Yet, here I am, taking time out of my morning routine to support you climbing mount algorithm. Awesome craftsmanship and solid presentation.

[@adhecson]

Finally found your video! Been looking for years finding proper tutorial and this is the answer, thank you

[@Issa_eth]

Omg couple years ago I started building this, I got the display and pi and case ready but my expertise in coding was so bad that I gave up. I tried and search countless hours for a dashboard like that…. Ended up just with the demos from you mentioned. I will check out your repo. Really great work man.

[@pauls8771]

5:28 Instead of using magnets, you could have made the display passively stable in both positions by slightly offsetting the center of rotation past the midline of the box, so that it would rotate eccentrically In the vertical position it would want to fall away from the turning side, and turning it to the horizontal position would cross over the axis of rotation and put the center of mass further from the center.

[@AbhishekTiwari-zb6jl]

after soo many years later. genuine project has been spotted here. thank you. its delightful to see all of your work.

[@lumotroph]

Absolutely beautiful.

[@ChasedRabbit]

You should be so proud of this, the final product is super clean looking 🤤

[@christopherwise7669]

So cool! Fantastic job, that case design is amazing. Will have to look into printing something similar.

[@TheCyberSpidey]

Brilliant project, and thanks a lot for sharing your design process and code. This is so aesthetically pleasing, I'll definitely be replicating your project once I can find an LED matrix panel. The only thing I'd change (and there really isn't a need for it) is using Wood filament instead of the black PETG. It stains really nicely, I just brush my eSun wood (feels like balsa) parts with stale instant coffee and spray a few coats of clear acrylic on top ;)

[@vdimarcostudios]

Why did the code disappear?

[@krzyzakpolska]

This is one of the best projects ive seen on youtube!

[@0xDEAD_Inside]

This is awesome! I will make a version of this with acrylic diffuse board and pi pico.

[@ryandury]

Super impressive! Design is well refined and it looks great.

[@cavinrauch]

This is amazing! You put everything together so well

[@SadSpaceDuck]

I know it's not what you normally do but I would love a step-by-step tutorial on how to build it (more so on the Pi stuff and coding as I am still learning code)

[@alexisschwab9485]

I love the to do list functionality when I get time and money let's build it Thanks for providing everything

[@Ratchet315]

This is some fantastic content and production!! Inspired to try making an LED display myself now!

[@natewastakenpersonal]

Great Dashboard! A recommendation for the main screen when you tilt is to just show the notifications in order. Useful if you want to see past notifications.

[@xeobit2781]

Wow this is awesome. So much attention to detail!

[@puggathy]

wish this was actually available to purchase, love the work keep it up!

[@Pluap]

I really like the effort you put into making it not just workable but pleasant to look at!

[@theZ3r0CooL]

Put the pi in the base to not have to clip the ports of and leave more space for the led panel portion where a small fan could circulate air through the back. Use bumps and dips to make the screen rotation snappy without magnets. Other than that; if it’s just using an led matrix and rotary encoder, I’d use the cheapest basic micro controller I have lying around like an 8266 in d1 mini form or something which would be small enough to stay in the top half with a fan.. also slip rings make turning wires easier

[@sharpenednoodles]

Super elegant design - great stuff!!

[@xarlixe7565]

Amazing project : ) One of the bests on KZbin I think, and you explain well

[@PiercingSight]

This is awesome! It's so well thought out and implemented! I love it! I would love to start making stuff like this, myself. This makes me want to get a 3D printer and everything.

[@theshazman]

This is amazing, I love the minimalist design too

[@y0urgrandpa]

that's so nice! I will make one as well in the future. can't code, so grateful you provided the Code. keep the videos cumming! great first video👌

[@harrytheriver254]

Excellent project! Your videography and speech were great. Can't wait to see what you do next.

[@Z-Ack]

Yesth i agree. Vitheograthy and sthpeetch are perthecth..

[@ptiwaridotin]

beautiful overall design buddy! keep it up

[@MattDTB1]

I love the design. You've done an amazing job

[@jauki2742]

Great Project for the Summer ^^ really great Job

[@fre4kadele]

Awesome work!

[@jspiro]

Really clever panel design! This is specifically why I clicked.

[@maximusdecimus2350]

late on watching this video apparently but came here to say, make more.....if you have the time. Awesome and inspires me to get on my projects.

[@gresh1134]

Awesome project, and I must say, you have a great taste in music 😄

[@Nurof3n_]

Amazing work! Thanks for sharing it 🙌

Job really well done! Great delivery and explanation - ill park this into my projects to do folder

[@ThomasTomchak]

You are amazing. Awesome project, great and intelligent design and problem solving and high quality video and audio. You are very inspiring. Looking forward to being a new subscriber.

[@lqqkout8214]

Great project! Thank you for sharing your work!

[@devrim-oguz]

Very simple, very elegant

[@michaelmerryman7806]

Like the project. I just subscribed so I hope to see more projects like this. Good work!

[@garyseaman6105]

I like the case, looks stylish.

[@TobyJackson]

Great work, i love that you've not simply made a screen with a button but pushing the possible with the tilt option. I wonder how hard it'd be to make the transition between modes cause the current displayed view 'fall' off the screen and fade in the new view.

[@allenslab]

Thanks! Animations are pretty tricky and kind of jank to do with how I wrote the code. It wouldn't be hard per say, but it would be tedious.

[@Bruno-bs5rn]

This is amazing man

[@xereeto]

This is awesome!

[@Ne3M1]

Super cool project

[@lsim001]

Wow! This looks so sweet. a bit more advanced than I can handle but still a very sweet outcome.

Thanks!

[@Shrek5when]

I approve your notion tasks.

[@Jonalibert]

Congtratz about this work, I would be intersted in knowing the idle power consumption of the build (screen shutdown), and how to improve it.

[@kyleszen3346]

You are my favorite human

[@jacobdavidcunningham1440]

4:00 padoru! nice clean design 7:08 I think cylinders are usually used for db, if they use them for libraries too TIL

[@adidavid5287]

I’m working on a similar project and having some trouble understanding what I need to buy for the rotary knob. Did you just purchase a rotary knob and connect the wires directly to the GPIO pins on ur rpi? It also seems like you 3D printed ur own knob cover? Any help would be great, thanks!

[@ranzerscore90]

damn bro, this is severely underrated

[@ByronChou17]

Super cool!

[@jhoanrivero7885]

Excelente proyecto, encantado de verlo, me animo a hacerlo.

[@jestemboski8129]

Hi, amazing video! Your construction is truly impressive. I build various things myself, but this project is a bit of a mystery to me, so I'd love to take a look at your code to learn a bit more. Would it be possible for you to share the code?

[@NicksStuff]

For your warping issue, why didn't you include some ventilation holes on the top and bottom of the box to create a draft?

[@guilhermelopes7809]

Awesome project and awesome video. I will try to replicate it :) thanks for sharing!!!

[@dogukaank]

great video bro but i want to make it as a hobby and couldnt find any material, is there a reason why you havent shared the project materials?

[@noicthebrave]

I just saw this and it reminds me of my Wireless Announcement Board project that used a 32x32 LED matrix display. I have since then upgraded to three 128x64 displays. I moved up from an Arduino to a Raspberry Pi. Definitely worth it. :) Keep it up! Edit: For your build, did you consider getting a Pi Zero/Zero W for your application vs removing the USB ports? I've used a Pi Zero for my 32x32 display, no problem. :)

[@tanmaypanadi1414]

i was crying watching him forcefully disassemble the pi. those things cost a lot these days

[@kadennguyen1449]

if possible an idea would be making the little bottom area a wireless charger that would be cool too

[@alecgeorgala1]

Really inspiring, thank you for sharing. Have subscribed 😊

[@Gortari456]

Man... that's the coolest 3d project I've seen, is there anywhere I can get the STL used on it?

[@hutieubunrieu]

this so cool 🔥🔥🔥

[@merelyChirs]

I guess I'm a bit late here, but you could try annealing the front panel. Although it would probably introduce a whole new issue of warping.

[@aetherworldorg]

Really cool and super polished look! I noticed that you removed the GitHub repo. Is there a place where you have shared the CAD files, or even STL files? I have the same panel and would love to print the case!

[@lunarstarfurry]

I would like one of these to work with Home Assistant to display alerts or even add extra buttons to run service x3

[@aaronjohnson1647]

it would be cool if the home screen tilted was a timer like an hour glass and the dial sets the time

[@Scrogan]

Hmm, I’m thinking it’s probably possible to cram the code down into some efficiently written C on an ESP32 or an RP2040 (with a wireless peripheral). Pis are hard to come by these days.

[@madduxleonardo]

Do you have to use a raspberry pi of that size though? Wouldn't a zero w have what it takes? You could access it and change things over wifi, its so much tinier so the display could be tinier for like a "mini" variant project, but does it have the power to maintain things like this?

[@akillys0586]

Instead of the rotary dial would it be possible to put it on a timer that changes the app every 30 seconds

[@boog172]

what happened to the code? im working on my own and im curious what font you used.

[@joec.9833]

Really cool project. Ive been wanting to do a raspberry pi alarm clock as my first raspberry pi project. Thank you for providing the code and cad files. Is there a parts list you could scrape together, maybe a wiring diagram as well?

[@kleinj_]

I second this, parts list and wiring guide would be great.

[@JashJacob]

Awesome project. Subscribed for more.

[@professordoru8609]

That's so cool

[@inversionganancia7592]

its posiible to do this with e paper screen?

[@harshvishen8025]

Which application did u use to show the images from phone to display reply pls

[@michaelharveymusic]

This is dope.

[@deBaer]

Hi, the repository shown in the video is now 404. Has this project been transferred into something else? A link would be nice.

[@zdudehearthstone1300]

Do you have the link to the original display you purchased?

[@wydx120]

Hey! I am always scared of using magnets anywhere near electronic components in my DIY projects, but I'm loving your magnet system for the hinge. Can they be a problem for the Raspberry Pi or is it perfectly safe? Do you know how can I learn the "safe" margins of magnet use for DIY projects?

[@3lohssvrm]

Magnets wont affect digital electronics like this. Would possibly affect analog circuits with inductors, transformers.

[@skhull2]

where di you get the files to print the enclosure? Alao, what pitch is this matrix? looks like either 3 or 4

[@Aashish805]

bro everything is working perfectly except the matrix front in cad files. Can you do something to correct it

[@pranavanand2447]

I have been looking for something like this!!, i have my 128X64 display. Will try this out ASAP

[@bigmac9712]

is there a video about that keyboard?

[@natewillis448]

One thing to note here, these LED matrix panels suck a LOT of current. You'd need a beefy power supply like 5V 4A and some even recommend 5V 8A. Would love to see power consumption overtime of this device and power saving features (like lowering brightness at idle or turning off entirely or a habd hover turn on feature). I was wondering how you powered this thing as well?

[@robertblack6560]

I need one a cover also. Do you sell them?

[@pizza88]

how do you deal with cooling?
