LED Art you can fly through !?! / DIY Tinywhoop Tunnels

Ever wanted to fly through a Kaleidoscope? Or wanted to go into hyper speed like in Star Wars? Well if you have a Tinywhoop and some spare time you can build these tunnels to give you that effect. Join Mr. Tinywhoop himself Jesse Perkins in this video as he builds these awesome obstacles.

That was so fun guys! I will never forget it!

[@marhar2]

Everybody I've ever personally met in the FliteTest and TinyWhoop communities have been so friendly and helpful. Thanks to everybody who goes to a little bit of effort paying it forward and inspiring others to do the same!

[@oufannco]

Same here. I love this community!

[@oufannco]

It was the most awesome set of trips of all time. I loved getting to spend time with all the guys, working with all of you, and flying that awesome course. I'm looking forward to all sorts of fun in future races out there.

[@davidmenendezfernandez3537]

TW obstacles are one of the coolest things i saw in drone hobby

[@joshualanderss4201]

Cool video

[@3nertia]

Such a simple, neat effect!

[@rudiroeller]

Thx Jessi for your kind words. You can't imagine how much this means to me. This helped me so much to get through the last half year! Love you all!

[@dantecusolito8513]

Love the space balls reference

[@oufannco]

Oh yeah. @TinyWhoop even has motors called "Ludicrous Speed".

[@ZenZaBill]

I've been waiting for this vid ever since you guys said you'd post one about building this awesome thing!!! I am definitely going to make my own!

[@BluJFPV]

The race at FT was amazing! Can’t wait for the next one!

[@oufannco]

Yeah Wes! It was a blast. Someday, I will do a race that I don't have a ton of work (and performance stress) going into and actually just sit, race, and enjoy. But for now, I love doing projects like this and I will continue to do them.

[@MorningView]

Every flite test video is better and better. Including this one. So awesome and thank you

[@AddictedRC]

Finally!!! Been waiting since the first vid you had these in! AWESOME!!! Thank you!

[@weld4200]

Yessss. Good job flite test love those tunnels thanks for the info

[@Gantorin]

SO AWESOME! I have been waiting for this info, so thank you!

[@eulachonfish]

Been waiting to see these since you said you would post the video! Great effects for such a simple build.

[@takeaflightfpv8006]

Good Job Jesse!

[@w_callaghan8300]

yes! i've waited this for so long!

[@frankbarajas]

Beautifully Awesome!

[@SirKittyMcMittens]

Dean is so damn smart with leds and stuff! You guys need to have him build a giant infinity statue for the place! :D

[@oufannco]

Shhhhh Alex... Don't give them any more ideas! LOL! Nah. I love a challenge.

[@joshualanderss4201]

I’ve watch this channel since the beginning

[@thenatedog]

Great video

[@AbdulAleemShekhani]

JEsse is AMAZING! More please :D

[@musicfan1632]

Perfect video

[@espenchristensen9581]

Great video, more like this please.

[@colddash5598]

I have a UR65 and an induction I have yet to bind correctly...I hope these will be at FF 2020 as I also hope to be there. Look very cool/fun Double thumbs up

[@ledchickenfpv7164]

I've been looking for this video. I didn't realize you had yet to make it when I started looking! It was really cool to see the use of the mirror film. I swear I thought I'd come up with an idea nobody had thought of yet, and there you go even telling me what percentage tint to get. It was also handy to have it confirmed that wally world dorm mirrors are the least expensive source for mirrors. You Flite Test guys should have Jesse over for play dates more often! Either that or Jesse's channel needs more "Here's how you build cool gates & other LED art for whoop tracks". 😉 Oh, can anyone tell me if I'd have to dive into programming some microprocessor LED "driver" myself, or if there's something relatively canned available that I can connect LED strips to, that does a starfield type pattern or at least makes it possible to program one without you having to build the control computer from scratch? Any leads on where to start with getting a strip of LEDs to do that type of pattern would be greatly appreciated! Keep on Whoopin' and Happy flying everyone. Loved what Jesse said about the community! 😁👍

[@jdd53]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@randomstuffno1caresabout3]

I had to like just because of the Spaceballs reference

[@___echo___]

I would have liked to seem more of the building :P

[@CabralWolverine]

ficou ótimo show 💯🤙:-) *it was great show 💯🤙:-)

[@HaywardFamilybuilding]

Super Rad!!!

[@s3x5hun8]

So you sourced the mirrors from Walmart but where did you source the panes that you used the film on?

[@Jindros4]

What are the approximate dimensions of the mirror panels used for an infinity tunnel, please ?

[@dreadedfpv4106]

Awesome! Can I substitute the Nano Arduino for a Nano V3.0 ATmega328P 5V 16M? (They are a third of the price...)

[@jwc4520]

As an old man I wonder , would I have survived the 60s if if this tech had been around ....lol

[@oufannco]

LOL! Probably not. We've jokingly called some of the things we've made "Stoner Campfires".

[@jimsmith283]

he looks like he is in a Star Trek transporter. lol

[@oufannco]

Yeah. We asked him "Are you sure?" Then, after he had finished all the bolts, we realized that we had set him up under the huge ship hanging from the ceiling and couldn't get him out. We had to shuffle a few feet over to lift it up.

[@jimsmith283]

@@oufannco 🤣❤️👍

[@stevefox3763]

ive had a look at the guide for these and have one suggestion, don run the Arduino nano on 5v. While the nano 'can' run on a 5v source, its built in regulator results in loss that drops the voltage below 5v and can result in it being unstable. you should run the nano at 6v or above to avoid the loss from the regulator and it can handle up to 20v.

[@oufannco]

The regulator in the NANO is limited to 800 mA max and uses 50mA itself. A single string of these WS2812b LEDs can pull as much as 52mA per LED. We have 147 LEDs in a single string on this puppy. If you displayed full white, it could pull as much as 7.6A per string. This pattern pulls nowhere near that, but it is well over 1A per string. I've "accidentally" left a NANO using Vin regulated power on a 150 LED string and it fried the regulator.

[@stevefox3763]

@@oufannco what are you banging on about? I never said anything about powering the leds from the nano, you should never power things from them and should always use an external power source, I was talking about powering the nano itself if you actually bother to read it properly.

[@darkshadows65]

Thank you. Can you please provide a link for the LED strips used? Do I need an arduino? What do I need to create that Hyperspace beautifulness? :)

[@oufannco]

All you ask for (and more) are in the links below. Those take you to my GitHub page where everything is listed.

@@oufannco Thank you Teknoid. I see it now :)

[@LittleMissRollerCoaster]

u need to be skinny and tall like Jessie P to be able to inside the tunnel!

[@kdobson83]

Wouldn't pop rivets work a lot better/easier/faster than those bolts you used?

[@oufannco]

Pop rivets would shatter the Palruf material. They needed to be larger. I'm looking at doing a steel locking grommet approach to allow it to be taken apart and made more portable. The one we built at FTHQ was a permanent install though. Others are looking for something more portable.

[@ulaB]

@@oufannco I was just thinking of these plastic snap on rivets they use in cars... Not sure if those would work though.

[@oufannco]

@@ulaB I have a crazy big bag of those at home. It was cheaper to buy a bag for "all vehicles" versus 10 of the ones I actually needed. I will try that out. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@kylewatson577]

Hey on the kelidascop gate what type of glue was used.

[@oufannco]

It was high-temp hot glue from a HUGE glue gun. It's surprisingly effective.

I think this video was Made because of my comment also I will try to replicate this beauty

[@oufannco]

The video was made because Flite Test had us out there in November and December 2019 for the race coming up at Christmas. Lots of work went into all of these features, including the 2 infinity cubes that aren't shown in this video.

LOL! It can be. I love how the guys paused the music during that part.

Faa ....you can't fly those in your property

Just try to stop the WHOOP train!
