My Wheel of Fortune Setup Update

[@jubjub449]

For everybody that's been asking about another update: There is nothing to show right now. With everything going on right now, I haven't had the resources or frankly the motivation to be working on any of this stuff since not long after the video came out. Thus, haven't really made any progress on stuff shown in the video. In fact, some of it has broken down a bit and considering nobody will be over to play, I haven't even been motivated to fix any of it. In due time... :)

[@ABMS721]

Words can’t even describe how EXQUISITE this set is!! One of the best homemade sets I’ve ever seen!!

[@SapinskiMath]

This is absolutely insane. If you had a larger scale version of your puzzle board, every anime or assorted fan convention would want you for performances in a heartbeat. I am in complete awe.

[@jimmyfinchum79]

This is by far the best one I have ever seen

[@intelligentaspie6158]

Well done. May be the best fanmade Wheel set-up on KZbin.

[@Agent_1701-D]

[@konnerbraun8786]

I would love to see your Wheel Of Fortune set in person. Where do you live?

[@germanname1990]

You've done a superb job so far. I'm looking forward to seeing how it all is when it's finished. If I were you, I'd end it off with the impression of the Bonus Round being won just to end it off on a good note.

[@jubjub449]

Thanks, germanname. To be frank it's pretty unlikely that I'll shoot a video like this again soon. When I get around to finishing the bonus wheel+envelopes I might shoot a video with that by itself. In this video, I didn't show the bonus round win because it's the same solve animation that I showed twice in the video already. Thanks for your suggestion, though.

[@jubjub449]

@Malprave10 exactly what i'm using... cheap bearing from amazon, screwed in with some washers between for space. they also need sufficient weight on them or else they won't turn smoothly

[@jubjub449]

@Malprave10 i don't know what yours is made out of; mine is made from MDF (medium density fiberboard) and the pegs are plain steel rods, I would estimate it's 35 lbs total.

[@jubjub449]

@Malprave10 have you tried a smaller bearing? the bonus wheel is pretty small and light, but spins well on a bearing that's like 4" across.

[@jubjub449]

@Malprave10 the main wheel is 40" and the bonus wheel about 34"... Finding the center was facilitated by the fact that both pieces of wood were machined by a CNC router and so I had made features that made it easier to find the center

[@mattdibenedettofan7719]

About how much did it cost for just the wheel

[@bowlerboy12345678910]

Hub where did you get the puzzleboard and how did you make the layouts for the wheel

[@Undercoverelevator212-s2n]

Can't wait to see what your BR wheel's gonna look like when complete.

[@jubjub449]

haven't worked on much wheel stuff since this video. it'll be a while

[@Tttttttttttttttt2]

@@jubjub449 Hey, jub. I really like the Wheel of Fortune set that you have. Did you make it or buy it?

[@PoseidoncapsizesHi]

How the wheels sound when you spin the main and bonus wheel sounds accurate to the tv one very good job indeed and like the puzzle board is that a tv mix to make the puzzle board outline like in the game

[@thegameplaygamer]

Thats a sick set up 👏

[@lupitavillarrealamongus8073]

Wow cool wheel of fortune house

[@adamdragster]

Can you tell me how you created this? WOF is my favorite show and I would love to play this all the time!

[@woffandaniel]

Can you do tutorials for the main round and bonus round wheels, puzzleboard, etc. in separate videos? I'd love to see those.

[@MarkOliveras215]

This is dope! I’m doing this with Jeopardy! in the near future so I can relate + I’ve always wanted to do these Live Action Recreations of both J! and Wheel except I actually get people to be Sajak, White, O’Donnell, Trebek and Gilbert + get it as closely accurate to the real show as possible that’ll even include a Columbia/TriStar, KingWorld, CBS Media Ventures and SPTVS at the end of each Episode! I’m working to improve the equipment and get the money to build this stuff so it’ll be years before I do it myself and until that day comes, I’ll just be doing this Game Night stuff with Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune Video Games to pass time faster! You gained yourself a new subscriber! Keep this up and I hope to see some Game Night Episodes of your own sooner than later!

[@michaelleadingham527]

Wow great job nice set up

[@WyattsGamesofFun]

WOW that is cool! Good job!

[@johnm4669]

Did you make a Bonus Wheel?

[@neumannsod]

Good heavens, you do amazing work. Besides the electronics, the wheel alone is impressive. How did you get accurate fonts? I’d figure they were hand done on TV, or something old on wood blocks.

[@johncraw8572]

Awesomeness what size card stocks you use for the wedges on the wheel?

[@ChillGamerBlue]

Holy smokes!

[@supermario0523]

Have you heard of OCR before? It could be a neat way to utilize that overhead camera to automatically populate totals for scores. It could act upon the same keystroke of you entering letters to appear on the puzzleboard (and could also automatically run Bankrupt and Lose a Turn effects)

[@jubjub449]

I'm aware of OCR. The wedge-encoded solution I was thinking of, though, would be an extension of the way I get the lights under the wheel to chase. I have black and white decals under each peg-width length and an IR sensor opposite so it can detect each "tick" and advance the lights. With enough of these sensors in a row, it would be possible to make something of a barcode to encode each slice of the wheel. The main reason I haven't is because I'm afraid of edge cases where the pointer is juuuuust hanging on, but the sensor thinks it's already advanced to the next space.

[@supermario0523]

@@jubjub449 I was thinking that too... Maybe on each pointer indicator though, you can have a pattern , like a plane of 3 black dots, that the OCR program could recognize. Basically, it would see the pattern of 3 dots in a non-rest (tensed) position as the indicator hanging on a peg, therefore not advancing to the next wedge... Whereas if the dots are in a resting position, OCR would know it is cleanly in a space, and not hanging on a peg. Hopefully that makes sense?

[@jubjub449]

@@supermario0523 or maybe even a small accelerometer mounted to the underside of the pointer... Any OCR solution would probably need a better camera, the webcam I hung from the ceiling was only 1080p and scaled way up haha

[@supermario0523]

@@jubjub449 just some ideas I had in my head. my buddy and I are reprising our eggcrate score display project to finally complement the 5ft wheel and puzzleboard project from a few years back. If you're game, I'd love to DM you and bounce some construction ideas off of you- I think it would be cool to see your input on some of the methods I used for construction as well

[@woffandaniel]

Is the lighting on the wheel base LED strip lights?

[@jubjub449]

Yes.

[@woffandaniel]

@@jubjub449 I figured as much. How did you program those lights on that strip to move with the wheel while it was spinning?

[@jubjub449]

@@woffandaniel (copy paste from a comment on another wheel vid) the LED strip is controlled by an arduino, on the underside of the wheel i have alternating white and black strips opposite an infrared sensor so each time the wheel "ticks" it advances the lights a few steps

[@woffandaniel]

@@jubjub449 Where would I find those things, the arduino, the alternating black and white strips, and the infrared sensor?

[@TheAmanBatra]

Hello Can you tell how you are using a different screen just for the remaining constant and vowels along with the players score from the same presentation??? I am also trying to make a setup like this, just wondering how you achieved that

[@jubjub449]

This is a function i use OBS for. I set up a scene with a window capture source (targeting the presentation), crop it to the bits i need and arrange it the way i want, then open a "fullscreen projector" in OBS

[@TheAmanBatra]

@@jubjub449 Thanks for your quick reply, i was also thinking about the same like you must have took it to OBS and slice it as per to our needs. Also i am using esp32 to make it completely automated like the scores and all using com port communication in VBA Right now i have the power point by Tim, is it possible if you can provide your power point, since i found it more good in terms of graphics and all Thanks in advance

[@jubjub449]

@@TheAmanBatra the powerpoint wasn't made by me and is not mine to distribute. i've since decided to write my own software which is designed specifically for the props and stuff i've constructed

[@TheAmanBatra]

@@jubjub449 So have you coded the software or are you working on it ? Since we are also planning to do it with a software where we could have a complete control over the graphics

[@jubjub449]

@@TheAmanBatra it's more or less done, if you watch the recent video i uploaded "bonus round lighting test" the software i wrote is driving the puzzleboard there and i'm showing off some of the new lighting effects i'm able to do because of it. unfortunately, a lot of my wheel set is in disrepair and i haven't had the means to fix it or work on any new props so development is halted until then
