PANELS IN ACTION! - Build a lift panel for Isaac (Last video)

[@elonmask50]

Absolutely fabulous Mr Matt.

[@ag6371]

This is the best elevator project ever!! I feel like I want to build this!

[@ZZ9ProductionsOFFICIAL]

Doesn't feel like a year since this was completed but yet it is!

[@neaelevator]

Truly awesome! I wish I had the skills to build something like this.

[@mrmattandmrchay]

Wish I could help or suggest a way to start. If you lived near me then this could be a possibility, but it's VERY time consuming!

[@MichalM]

7:37 Put a Broadmoor siren on the back of it!!!

[@RediffusionMusic]

So cool, and so creative mate! Good work! :D

[@idl3k_elev]

Awesome project!

[@mrmattandmrchay]

Thanks!

[@ag6371]

Can I CNC the triangles and numbers instead of buying?

[@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440]

I have seen that flicker on a Dover impulse elevator!

[@vancouverelevators_transit]

Wow! This is cool

[@JohnPlant90]

I recall some hotel lifts in the former USSR that had floors that moved when you got in - was it to indicate there were passengers in the lift? If so for what reason?

[@mrmattandmrchay]

Load sensor. If there was someone in the lift, then it firstly kept the cab light on, and it gave the car call buttons priority over the landing calls. So if there was someone in the lift, someone on the landing couldn't press their call button before you pressed the car call button. Make sense?

[@JohnPlant90]

Super - I hadn't thought about the prioritisation. At the time I thought it may have gone at high speed if empty. I recall trying to ese the rails to ligt my weight off the floor! I suppose the prioritisation is now part of the sequencing.

[@Clement-xy9iv]

The only thing that I'd have added (if enough outputs on the arduino), is a real bell, for the car call of the ground floor. Like old school lifts !

[@mrmattandmrchay]

Oh yes, I know what you mean! I could have done that with a sound board. LazyTechNerd (Tom) has already done that, but would add more time on!

[@Clement-xy9iv]

NOOO ! Not a fake one ! A real one, with a metal dome and a solenoid (I love solenoids), It would have been much easier and much better than a sound board !

[@battytec]

I have to say this is really heart warming stuff. Its really nice that you go out of your way to do this. Also completely off opic I was wondering what kit you used on your own alarm system. Like pirs, panels, bells and tat. It wod be nice if you could consider making a video on it at some point. Again if you dont wish to do it for security reasons its fine by me (not that you need my approval anyway lol).

[@mrmattandmrchay]

Hiya, thanks for the comment! For my house, I have a Galaxy Dimension, with 4 keypads (no I don't have a mansion!). Kpd1=Kitchen (flush brass one), Kpd2=Garage, Kpd3=Under stairs/low level as when Chay was small he couldn't reach the kitchen keypad!, Kpd4=Bedroom. 4x door contacts, PIR in garage is an old Spaceship dualtech!! (search "Scantronic 1084 spaceship"), then around the house I use Visonic DUO-240 ceiling detectors (prefer them to corner mounting ones). 2x internal sounders, the outside sounder is a stainless steel sounder made by CQR. Also have 4x 12v smoke detectors connected back the panel.

[@battytec]

Crikey, sounds like an awesome system, a bit better than my accenta haha. By the way, have you heard of orisec. I have heard really good things about them and their stuff looks very nice. Unfortunately you need to set up an account but I am sure it's worth it.

[@rickautry2759]

Ardweenie overkill. Do it with 7400 series logic. Much more fun to finish a puzzle (Elevator logic) that way.

[@mrmattandmrchay]

yeeeeees, and no! :) This would take an age to complete, where all I need is some 'programmable' functionality. Thanks for the comment anyway and I do hear what you're saying (like, relay logic, but with ICs instead?)

[@KIRBZVIDS]

What hardware software u use buddy to be able to use custom code like that cheers and it looks wicked

[@felixrwc816]

He used the arduino software to write the code.

[@KIRBZVIDS]

That is cool as ,could you write code for a floor indercater Lester control type or is it literly d.i.y jobby cheers

[@mrmattandmrchay]

Anything is possible! I ran out of memory on this board but you can install an SD card to write further code. Once you understand the fundimentals, the sky is the limit!! But with any programming/coding, 1) Plan it, 2) Code it, 3) debug it, 4) soak-test it, then debug stuff that doesn't work, 5) tweak it, 6) debug the 'tweaked' bits! It's fun, but time consuming (NOT a 5 minute job!) I will eventually get around to going through the code in a new video, where I will HOPEFULLY cater for complete beginners.

[@Topol2019]

Круто! Лайк

[@lbsiuk]

One of them is for Isaac, and one of them is for James. Who will have the 3rd one?

[@mrmattandmrchay]

Currently, me! I may give it away in the future, but I have no plans yet.

[@lbsiuk]

Also, do you have the code? I have an Arduino, and plenty of LEDs that I want to use. And also, I might be getting some 1970s H+C buttons that I can wire up to this.

[@mrmattandmrchay]

Hiya Leon, yes, absolutely. I'm still planning on making a video that goes through the coding line-by-line to explain how it works then give out a link so people can download it. But for you Leon, I'll email it to you :)

[@lbsiuk]

Thank you so much!

[@lbsiuk]

OK. I will do that now.

[@ZZ9ProductionsOFFICIAL]

0:10 in the top left - You know how one of them is missing a metal indicator plate? Is that the V1 circuit design or are you not sending that one out? EDIT: NVM, answered at 1:26

[@mrmattandmrchay]

That one is for James - I sent him the Otis panel already as Christmas Present. So his parents just need to screw the panel on the front (nut/bolt already provided :)

[@mrmattandmrchay]

lol! (EDIT)

[@ZZ9ProductionsOFFICIAL]

so the next question I have is what are you planning to do with the demo board?

[@mrmattandmrchay]

I'm keeping it for the time-being :)

[@ZZ9ProductionsOFFICIAL]

is that for any future updates or any other times in the future you may build another one? Also where did you get those OTIS indicators for the panels?

[@felixrwc816]

Can anybody tell me where I can find the Arduino Code, he used for this panel?

[@mrmattandmrchay]

Coming soon! I'll do a video and go through it, and leave a link to download it from somewhere.

[@felixrwc816]

That would be very nice, because I am currently working on a miniature elevator, which is going to be controlled by an Arduino.

[@mrmattandmrchay]

It's still on my list to be done! Do me a favour and remind me in a month if I forget!

[@ZZ9ProductionsOFFICIAL]

@@mrmattandmrchay wondering if you're still planning to do that code run-through lol

[@MichalM]

36th!

[@mrmattandmrchay]

wow, that already?!

[@MichalM]

mrmattandmrchay Of course - with the huge number of subscribers that you have, I am surprised that you don't have more views! You deserve more views for the time and effort you put into these videos!

[@mrmattandmrchay]

thanks Michal! I didn't set out to be a youtube star, but very pleased with channel subs and views so far :)

[@MichalM]
