I really like how you _included_ your mistakes in the final video. Messing up is a very important part of the make process -- everyone does it -- and it gets left out of KZbin videos far too often. How to *fix* your mistakes is also crucial information to know (which you also included in the video, yay!). Thumbs up!

could he not have just cut the blue pin off and used a single LED for red and green?

GreatScott, I am so grateful for this video. I've had the TEA5767 chip for quite some time and never had an opportunity to play with it. Now, after watching, I am so excited about finally being able to put this thing to good use. Thanks so much!

[@socore3197]

I am on a binge of most of your videos. I am so impressed with your work! You and DIY Perks have inspired me to pick up a new hobby, electronic tinkering! I hope to use the skills I learn to put together my own LED grow lights for my aquaponic farm.

[@antimatter4733]

Socore Alaite you do know LEDs don't give off UV light...

[@socore3197]

ANTIMATTER THE DESTROYER OF WORLDS You know you're wrong right? Ultra-Violet is a light band, and certain LED's can produce them :)

GreatScott Thanks for all of your videos!.. After trying to wrap my head around how components work on paper and staring aimlessly at schematics, it is very motivating and useful to see everything put into practice! I look forward to your next video, and in the meantime I'll keep visiting your ad sponsors :)

[@emersonsrandomvideos248]

There should be a demo video of how this project turns out like using it after charging or how the audio quality sounds like. This is a practical project for rural areas in the philippines. Nice video! Keep it coming...

[@JerryEricsson]

Greetings and salutations from the High Plains of South Dakota!! Just returned from our winter digs in Arizona, a rather eventful trip that cost us a Jeep Liberty, but we and our motor home came through without a scratch so not so bad anyhow. The brief intro done with, I just wanted to thank you very much for building this radio! I have been dreaming of a way to do just this, well and a bit more, I want to add XM Satellite Radio to the build, so I can have an all in one FM/XM in a small package that can sit on a shelf in our motor home while we tour the US in our old age. We are both retired and have nothing but time on our hands now days. I had ordered the TEA5767 before we got home, and it was waiting for me on the kitchen table when we arrived (our grown daughter has been house sitting for us over the winter). Right now I have a surplus of Arduino Nano's as I ordered 2 lots of 5 on a big sale deal with an eBay seller last year (what was I thinking??) I have started her up and hooked it to a Uno and found that the board appears to work (We live in an FM Free zone in SD, if I go outdoors I can, on a good day pick up one station, but when we travel, FM seems to be everywhere else.) I have been looking for a few days now for the perfect setup to use parts I have on hand, and found yours! I should have known, when you want a project done RIGHT, go to GREAT SCOTT and he has probably already built it! Again, thanks a million for the great projects, I love the way you put things together, and you go deep enough into the subject that I learn something every time I watch one of them.

[@chaosminecraft3399]

4:01 holy s**t. I thought you are drilling in to your finger. But it's a great video from greatscott. :)

[@yonglu4856]

I simply love your videos! Every time i watch one, I walk away with another piece of useful knowledge, thank you and keep up the great videos!

[@michaelgoldmann3734]

hey Scott, try mounting the switch and speaker from the inside of the case. that way you can only see the screws from the outside and not those ugly looking flaps...

[@p1nesap]

Great job but we need demo of working radio, LCD etc. Thanks.

[@greatscottlab]

+rs232boy Thank you ;-)

[@MrBiky]

+rs232boy You posted this 7 hours ago, yet the video was uploaded 2 hours ago. KZbin sorcery again. I know it's about region and it takes each region's clock, but seriously, this is pretty annoying.

[@rs232boy]

MrBiky I got an alert from Patreon, maybe the video appeared there earlier ?

[@MrBiky]

rs232boy I don't know. It could be, but I think it's more related to region. Like, if you live in USA, you are 7 hours "behind" Germany. But sometimes videos are posted early, then made private until it's rendered in all qualities and then "unprivated".

[@greatscottlab]

+MrBiky Patreon supporter have early access to my new videos. At least a couple hours earlier.

[@socore3197]

The finished product is absolutely *beautiful*!

[@turbulenttotoro]

Love that he calls the zig zag pattern "square wave" pattern. Such a electrician thing to say.

[@simeon7450]

Great job... but this could have been an absolute piece of art if youd used some darker wood. And also the way the sides are glued together leaves depth differences. You couldve sanded them equal. Other than that, its amazing man.. if i ever reach this level of electronics ill make this.

[@fsafssfafsasfa]

This video got me interested in electronics a while ago, thank you.

[@winandd8649]

@GreatScott ; Don't you hate it when the regular cutter you use pulls the material up, leaving you with an jagged edge you have to clean up manually? Try a straight flute cutter, multiplex stays a lot cleaner that way! 👍

[@tomiborza3143]

Good job m8,You deserve more views..good work and good luck

[@kyoudaiken]

Now you could add additional software and circuitry to add internet radio capability as well as a second speaker for stereo and line-out and TOSLink out.

[@chaoswires2734]

you could save 2 magnets by adding just 2 steel plates on the cap. Placing just 2 magnets inside the case should hold the cap strong enough.

[@MrBiky]

Cool. But I already have a cheap and more compact radio from Radio Shack (and I don't live in US). It's a nice project, but how about making a diy radio transmitter/broadcaster? Just like those car usb mp3 fm modulators, but this should use an audio jack-in to play music from a phone or something, to your car audio system (or any close radio for that matter). Now, if I think again, I think I will make this project one day myself, but it would be great if GreatScott! features this project in a video.

[@Foojaleeckalikeelamaka]

Hey GreatScott, Have you considered doing a tutorial on proper soldering techniques? I'm trying to get into make basic electronics (real basic, my current attempt to make an LED turn on when you pressed a button ended in disaster) but I always find myself making a mess of the soldering. If you're not doing a tutorial do you have any advice for someone starting out? Thanks mate, your videos are really great! (Also hi from Australia :D)

[@greatscottlab]

+Max Russell It is on my to do list.

[@Foojaleeckalikeelamaka]

Software mods for you kit : SUPPORT JAPAN FM STEREO BAND @ 76.0 to 90 MHz SUPPORT E Europe FM STEREO BAND @ 65.8 to 74.0 MHz Turn the STEREO OFF (if the chipset supports it) for Marine Band Channels Marine VHF radio refers to the radio frequency range between 156.0 and 162.025 MHz, inclusive. In the official language of the International Telecommunication Union the band is called the VHF maritime mobile band. Probably this will require another mode switch ... and some reprogramming.

[@BoomBrush]

you should turn up the volume of the background music. it sounded good in your older videos, its a shame i dont hear it any more.

[@danielaaroe]

check out climb milling for less manual finishing. not sure how well it works for plywood though.

[@NickCharlton0]

Cool video! you used a ball nose cutter instead of a flat mill when cutting out the parts!

[@srelease_indo]

Heck, what an astonishing craftmanship there you got. damn. hahaha

[@KennethTanFotografie]

Please put a heat isolation layer between the lipo charging pcb and the Lipo. It can get very hot and might damage (or worse) the Lipo. Great build!

[@danijel124]

+Kenneth Tan Its an 18650 li ion battery not lipo

[@KennethTanFotografie]

+danijel124 I know it's an 18650. I call them Lipo's, generalising the bunch a bit. Key is that the mosfets on de charge board get very hot when pushing 1A (default setting) This heat permeates through the pcb. That why I never glue them to a "Lipo" Btw if you use hot glue, it wil melt.

[@greatscottlab]

+Kenneth Tan The charging circuit does not touch the Li ion cell. The wires hold it in the air.

[@CraigMansfield]

If the glue won't stick to the varnish, varnish it before you glue it, to get rid of the need to use acetone, or just mask your wood. Anyway, lovely project. I hardly understood how any of it worked, but it looks good.

[@ryandavidsheasby4028]

Hey I just thought of a mod for this. Run a wire from the positive pin of the battery to an analogue pin on the Arduino. With a few extra lines of code you could have a battery percentage on the display.

[@itsvoodoo7050]

Next make your own headphones.

[@entropic7768]

that would be cool.

[@itsvoodoo7050]

David Ygjfdhu It would and I have a pair of speakers from some headphones that I want to put to use.

[@17devstudio3]

you can make your own bone conduction headphones by connecting a small dc motor to the audio output. If possible you should use an amplifier. then you only need to hold the motor onto the bones above your ear.

[@bettymckinley8063]

Thanks for posting the two videos. Is it possible that you can also post the schematic? I'm really interested in adding and LCD to an amplifier I am building that will include an AM, FM radio, connections for a DVD player, Phono and a auxiliary input. Ultimately I would like for the LCD to display the frequency the AM or FM radio is tuned to and then to display "DVD" when that switch is on. Is all of this possible?

[@uTubeOfficial]

Tolles Video, super erklärt. Eine Frage zum NF Verstärker. Stört dieser Klasse D Verstärker (PAM8403) nicht den Radioempfang? Diesen habe ich einmal eingesetzt und nie wieder. Der Klang ist zwar schön aber der Empfänger fängt an übermäßig zu rauschen, wegen der Oberwellen von den PWM Signalen, wahrscheinlich Rückkopplung. Wie sieht das bei dir aus?

[@JoJozProductions]

Would love to see something which includes LED's and perhaps the new Raspberry Pi 3!

[@cathrinelord]

a variable amplified antennae would be cool, or would there be a better way to maximize reception to get near out of state transmissions? like be able to get a station from central north Dakota in central south Dakota.
