Easy Led For Prop And Costume Projects: No Coding Required

[@TheOuterRim_]

Wow Brian, I am beyond thankful, and humbled that you would feature me on your channel. Thanks so much, and thanks to everyone who has taken the time to share your comments.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thank you sir! Love that you have something that supports makers in the community, and we just HAD to show off that awesome display.

[@robl56]

THIS IS BRILLIANT just what I was looking for!!!

[@brokentuskgarage]

The room builder community owe a debt of gratitude to the people like you and Jamie!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thank you so much! It's such a great community!

[@jasons5632]

I love it! Community boosting Community!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

The best!

[@ResinBelle]

I hope to snag some of his merch at some point. Thanks for sharing!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Any time!

[@ricom7091]

Great info. The Outer rim just made my project not a headache. We appreciate you and your lady. There's only one problem . You don't have a video out everyday.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Sorry about that, LOL. I would love to be able to do that. Or at least three times a week. Some day maybe!

[@ivangonzales5667]

Simply amazing, is a really fast and easy way to add lights to any project the limit is only the imagination 👏👏

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Glad you like it! I think Jamie has a great little product!

[@WhiteysWickedWorkshop]

Yeah when it comes to Electronics Jamie Dull is PRO and the GOTO guy! Thanks for featuring Jamie because he doesnt get enough credit in the community for all that he gives back! Cheers to the Outer Rim and the Smugglers Room!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thanks man

[@duneseaoutpost]

This is VERY cool. A bit on the pricey end, but I guess that's the cost of time and convenience (and the effort Jamie has put in developing these), so... bravo!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

It's certainly worth it. He has four kits i think, depending on how much flexibility you need. I think you can do 5 LEDs per port on these. SO even on the smaller, less expensive kit, you can get a lot of LED functionality out of it.

[@duneseaoutpost]

@@TheSmugglersRoom I am definitely getting a couple of kits soon.

[@TheBojaboja]

Wow, that’s movie quality building right there!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

right? Crazy stuff he has going on . . . IN HIS FRONT YARD!!! LOL

[@TheBojaboja]

@@TheSmugglersRoom for some reason I don’t see you putting that much time and effort into a project and leaving it out in the elements!

[@GCubedProductions]

This is the resource I need to finally start building something. I was always afraid I couldn’t make the electronics live up to what design is in my head. Thanks!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Glad we could help!

[@Vault57]

Thanks for the Outer Rim tip! I had not heard of this channel prior to your video. You the Man! 👍👍

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Welcome!

[@jasonholmes2975]

This is most helpful, I wasn't intending to use many LED's in my room but this definitely opens up new possibilities and has given me more to consider yet less to think about

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Awesome!

[@jasonholmes2975]

@@TheSmugglersRoom its about time I got the ball rolling, it's over a year of just thinking about it and collecting props yet I haven't done a thing to the room yet, thinking start from the ground and work my way up is my best plan of attack, it's just choosing the right colour of vinyl to blend with whatever stone veneer I put on the walls, my own indecision is annoying me 😂

[@the_makersden]

I’ve been looking to purchase his lighting kits at some point in the future for my projects. I’m not well versed in electronics so that makes things super easy for me!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

I like to tinker with electronics, but he’s made it so easy that I couldn’t resist. Such a great kit!

[@made4]

I got to see these in person at the PNW meet up. Jamie is super passionate in helping others. Thanks Brian for leveling him up!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

That is fantastic. He knows his stuff and he is always willing to help.

[@AshKast]

Brian, your channel is one of the few that give me lots of inspiration and joy.

[@DHGamerMR]

Great video about a great resource! I've been learning Blender for motion graphics for myself but really have no experience with LED controllers. I'll have to take a look at The Outer Rim when I dive into LEDs for my projects. Thanks for sharing!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

You bet! . . . Blender scares me! LOL

[@DHGamerMR]

​@@TheSmugglersRoom Ha! I totally get it, my friend. There's a bit of a learning curve, and I'm certainly no expert myself. I've been at in my spare time since late May, and there's always more to learn and understand about it. I've uploaded a few test videos and stills of my results here and elsewhere though. Anything to keep the creative juices flowing!

[@ScottKraft]

It's cool that he offers these kits. That said, I highly encourage everyone to at least dip a toe into the microcontroller/Arduino world. The barrier to entry is very low, an Arduno Uno clone can be had very cheaply and you will very quickly realize how much control you have for very little effort. The best part is you can just copy and paste and modify the basic Blink program in the Arduino app, you don't have to write anything from scratch.

[@ScottKraft]

Those motion graphics downloads he offers look well worth the price of admission though.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Very much agreed Scott. I love tinkering with programming. It's not overly complicated and can be fun. I do like Jamie's kits though. Sometimes its nice to plug something in and BAM . . . off and running.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

100%

Our pleasure!

[@alexartiststudios7981]

I Have subbed, as a miniature model artist I am always looking obsessively at new elements, features and or just cool things to incorporate into my diorama builds and although I have used LED systems before its super cool that this is really a shortcut kit to simply connect up and have your lighting panels or displays or systems up and running. Thank you! cool stuff.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Awesome, thank you!

[@joelmacha2104]

@@TheSmugglersRoom I just found your channel a day or two ago. The first video I saw was the one where you put resin in packages to make cool shapes for props (which was super cool). My concern is making props that kind of look the same. If everyone uses modded Nerf guns, all low budget scifi will have the same blasters. But, you could turn the same object (a box or screen or whatever) and turn it into different styles (Alien, Star Trek, Star Wars, whatever). Better yet, use similar materials, tools, and techniques to show that you can put in the effort to make it look more unique to a specific theme. TL;DR You should fo a video where you turn the same object into a prop from three different cinematic universes. (If you already did this, I'd love to watch the video.)

Wow this was perfect just the solution I was looking for at this very moment!!! Thanks for sharing this!!
