NO CODING Animated LEDs - Ultimate Beginner’s Guide - Cosplay and Props

[@DoubleU555]

A cosplay tutorial channel that is 100% knowledge and 0% cringe? I'm in!

[@Zibartas]

Oh cringe is there, just left off camera :D

[@DatFunnyPerson]

I know wich Channel you are talking about bro :D

[@ms.pirate]

What cringe?

[@Znegil]

You and your videos really wiped my fear of how complicated LED lighting for a project could be. Thanks ❤

[@Zibartas]

Awesome, I hope to see a bunch of cool LED projects :P :D

[@wongsetsuna]

Mate, it's criminal how your channel has so little views! Your build and guides are straight to the point and bloody amazing!

[@corakato1571]

This is so helpful it's not even funny. I gotta show this to all of my cos friends, thanks for making this video Zibartas!

[@dfvsmaster]

Sir, I have seen only like 3 videos of you buy I must inform you that you have won yourself a new subscriber!

[@eross21]

this video really made me stop procrastinating, because i have never really wrap my head around coding language. and just buy a Nano and dive it. now i’m hooked. between this video and chat gtp i can combine and make some really cool things happen. it’s so much fun. thank you so much for posting this video!!

[@thomasr.1556]

Thank you so mutch! Finally someone who explains it clearly. Danke danke danke, endlich jemand der das verständlich erklärt!

[@dovydasvesa1775]

Oh man, you're a life saver since i'm pretty close to LED part of my "PROJECT: Lucian" and i was getting my ass ready to be kicked by getting near all the LED work. GOD BLESS YA!

[@spacemonkey805]

This is amazing... Still intimadating as a raveer who just wanted to make very simple pretty lights costumes- but i just wanted to give you props

[@itsnerfordartzone5156]

Man, hands down You are the most helpfull youtuber I've seen. Thank You.

[@suulacooeagles4226]

Omg Thank you!!!! I've been trying for ages to learning electronics but it just won't go in my head. This lets me get on with all the fun display building and I don't have to stress so much.

[@Skymone]

Man, I wish I had heard of this sooner :O

[@dragonling748]

Great video mate! You make some of the best edited and easiest to follow content. Enjoyable and educational to watch too! Keep it up!

[@WTCheatShaming]

Appreciate the advice. I work with a head called a protogen and wanted to add some more led strips to the back of the ears and neck. Thanks.

[@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA]

Very cool I would like to dabble with some automotive mounted animated strips now to buy some parts

[@timmartin2336]

Just wanted to let you know that I've been trying to figure out a way to add leds to my props and cosplay ideas and this video has been really helpful in getting me into using leds because I'm not very good at coding but still haven't given up thanks again for your time and help

[@Vegepink]

Wooooh finally I can start using animated LEDs! So far, I only used single color LEDs as the animated ones sounded intimidating, especially since I have no coding knowledge at all... Thanks a lot!

[@timullits639]

only 12K subscribers... im amazed, how is that even possible. I would be sure that content of this quality and information level would be from someone with millions. I hope you get there soon pal, thx for the tips and tricks.

[@duonghathai1807]

My friend i just saw ur videos today and IT'S REALLY REALLY REALLY VERY AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGG

[@GhostofAtlantis]

Wow! Thank you so much! You just made an overwhelming project totally manageable! I know this video is 2 years old but I hope all the info is still relevant

[@NerdUpLevelUp]

EEEEP!!! How are all these videos so good??!! I need to up my game. Excellent content mister!

[@OAbbas]

this channel is definitely underrated. keep on going. thanks for sharing

[@krzysztofmathews738]

This is an excellent introduction to these tools. Thank you!

[@annemiedegroote6182]

I'm trying to get back into cosplay and I was always so interested in less but never dared to do something with animated leds. The costprice for a trinket was quite high back then too but seeing this video, now I want to just to hurry and make my props so I can add lights. Thank you so much for the explanation and the links to the shops, it really helps out so much!

[@thaalgrim9335]

dude your channel is so underrated

[@akaikiseki9346]

Yo, this is a hack to LED lighting and you can't convince me otherwise ! As a DEV I was ready to just go and do it all myself. I'll probably use this and tweak the end code if I can't get exactly what I want hehe !

[@seekertosecrets]

Fascinating. This will be helpful for the next cosplay idea.

[@taantricks]

Thanks for sharing the find and simple explanation of how to use it..

[@JanJanJanJanJanJanJanJanJan2]

Have a look at WLED. Basically the same but you don't need to pre-select the effects. You can select them via WiFi

[@whoahanant]

This is actually super helpful since I suck with anything electronic. XD

[@WarrenPenner]

Fantastic! Much appreciate your sharing this.

[@techsavvyhero]

Amazing content, sir! I saw an article on your amazing stuff, followed on Instagram now on KZbin. Keep em coming. :)

[@EllyseaAndDolls]

Yo, this is awesome, I don't like starting learning things like that by myself (I'm all in for learning, but !i prefer having people explaining it to me than reading and understanding half of it), so your auto generate thing is perfect and will help me learn how to do new things my self later on. And simplify my first attempts too :)

[@Zibartas]

Exactly! It's just getting your foot in the door, just to see if its for you :)

[@CaptnBeardy]

With that cool meteor rain LED effect might i suggest you make a lightning bolt thrown by Zeus or maybe a Tesla gauntlet?

[@octahedron646]

This is exactly what I was looking for. I’m absolutely not into cosplay, but it’s ok I’m fine with this.

[@switchpee_]

This helped so much dude!!! thank you!!! 💖

[@how2decor]

Bro u solved my 4 years of problem. 👌👌👌u rock, just 1 question, no matter how long my led strip is will the power run from the power bank to the aurdino and then to the strip??? Kindly help🙏

[@dogwalker666]

I have been animating LEDS and before that Bulbs long before "Programming" was an option, an ne555 and an lm3914 was good enough for KITT so it's good enough for me.

[@tomference4618]

..very cool,..however, at 70, this may be beyond me. I think I may be able to build the LED wall, as a "last" project. Good on you young man, give glory to your Creator, as you inspire many with your gifts.

[@feffe4036]

This is great. Does it work something similar for digital number display. Say ammo counter? Thanks for the video!

[@TinYasuo]

Super great tutorial ! And really cool to get started with animated LED too! I want to let you know that the links to LED strip and ring is outdated ^^

[@Zibartas]

Thanks! :D and thanks for letting me know!!

[@AmagamiSSWalker]

THANKYOU VERY MUCH DUDE

[@marianojayson9834]

Well, im fascinated now that we had these lessons and projects. I'll definitely use this for the LED lights ^w^ Btw, your vid's so cool🌸

[@marianojayson9834]

Oh yeah, is it still the same for the Arduino UNO? I already have one herw and it'll much be more cheaper if the (big blue one at the vid) Arduino is ine that i may use

[@Zibartas]

Yup!! Uno is just physically larger:D adjust the settings in the Arduino software though!

[@rakeshb2779]

Subscriber from india❤❤

[@sonofskyrim1331]

Thank you so much! Definitely got another sub.

[@giannisaliev]

Nice job man!

[@Zibartas]

Thanks!!!

[@pampangueno143]

thank you so much!!!!

[@avatar6699]

Great stuff. What would you recommend to have 2 simple leds, acting as eyes in a skull prop, blink as if they were alive (on 3-4 seconds, then off for .5 seconds, then on again, repeating infinitely)? Right now we have 2 12v UV/Purple leds (not neopixel) in our skull design but they are only constant on.

[@creativeguy1138]

Where did you get the connector wires that slide onto the Arduino?

[@turtlegaming9355]

how do you extend it to multiple leds do you just soder it

[@hoddskittv8580]

Would this work with elegoo nano boards?

[@bacitracinplz]

It absolutely does. I just temp. wired my first elegoo nano using this tutorial video and single LED for testing.

[@marty-rk3nr]

This is Awesome!

[@fslayer1290]

THANK YOU!!!!!!!

[@irisbodypaint4754]

amazing thank you, just got you book 😍 but still dont understand how many led i can use on such a circut?? here you say 50 leds so would little more than 1 meter (using 60led per meter) it quite little i would say?? i dont see in your book how you do runn your bigger project? how many batteries you use ??

[@DalitaCosplay]

Put what if I want the LEDs to turn on while I'm on stage? Is there a video where you can show us now to install a switch?

[@zoeyboy1215]

Can i use 12v addressable led strip on arduino nano?

[@hentertainment233]

I know it's an older video but how long does uploading usually take at 3:54?

[@jos9245]

Hello! I am pretty new in all the light staff. Can you install 2 light strips onto 1 arduino nano?

[@古見花魁]

How can I power the arduino with a lipo battery?

[@santiagoportillos1670]

me encantan tus videos 🧡🇨🇴

[@quemeese]

I went to the program to see about setting up what I want to do. but I didn't find where to do the color (I want it all white). I have SK6812 RGBW LED strip. I want to do a sword where the edge of the sword will light starting at the hilt and go to the tip of the sword. once lit, it would all stay on. also didn't see any option for that. I did see where I could have the lights move, but to light all then stay on, I didn't know what to do. it this something you are set up to help me with? or can you direct me where to go? thank you so much for your videos, I have already learned from them and appreciate your work!

[@lknd1300]

does the wire connection work the same for the arduino and trinket ? love the content

[@Zibartas]

Different boards have different pins - but they are labeled - so double check :)

[@thegamerwolf5029]

is there a waterproof one i can get

[@charlotteholloway7462]

I am absolutely useless with electronics, is there a way to make string lights (light mini Christmas tree lights) so that each individual light lights up in a certain pattern? I’m wanting to use LEDs on a stranger things cake, on a tier that looks like the light up alphabet thing and have it spell out things, is that actually possible? TIA ❤️

[@itsnerfordartzone5156]

So I had an idea to make an RGB LED bicycle frame with RGB LED strips and then I wondered what do I use to diffuse light. Also for that I think I'd need a bit more power than a power bank so what do I use for energy that is rechargeable? What is the best to use, any tips?

[@fangdrag]

Does this Adafruit Neopixel library code run with any LED strip?

[@Zibartas]

Well, yeah, the addressable WS2812 based ones are all the same + it supports some others. Check documentation if you are using something exotic :)

[@TheDragolf]

That DF was a jump scare

[@verynicedice7195]

You probably won't see this, but I am wanting to put together an Astro Bot cosplay and was wondering if this would work with animating its eyes on the inside of the helmet's visor?

[@Zibartas]

If you're planning to use addressable LEDs -why not! :D

[@verynicedice7195]

​@Zibartas my other question is: what would be the proper way of mounting the led strip/sheet? Would you pinlock it to the visor or directly glue it? I've seen people 3D print a cage-like faceplate that goes between the front and back of the helmet.

[@stevenwilliford286]

Is there any way you could help with a project I am working on? I have a few questions and I am hoping you could answer them and point me in the right direction.

[@Ryxxi_makes]

Hi , same pinout for pro micro ? thankyou!

[@Zibartas]

Yeah pretty much - just connect the wires to the pins that are labeled the same ;)

[@szabolcskatai7659]

Absolutely amazing work on these videos Ziartas. I am personally not a cosplayer but a light painter who likes to create his own tools. Looking to create a light painting stick with the 144led / m and control with the Arduino mini. Do you think the mini would be a good enough option or need to step up to a pro? Iam a beginner with led codding so do not want to go over the top with my first build. :D Thanks for your answer and keep up the good work!!

[@Zibartas]

Aw thanks man!! Mini - you mean this www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/ArduinoMini ? I'd go for a Nano to be honest :)

[@szabolcskatai7659]

@@Zibartas Thanks. I went for one of the cheaper option and looks just as good. :) Playing this video in loop while Iam working on it. :D:D

[@PedroGameiro]

Im new to this, its one arduino nano per strip led or can I connect several LED strips to an Arduino nano?

[@Zibartas]

If you want multiple things happening at once - you need to connect strips to separate pins. There is a limited amount of PWM capable pins - the bigger the Arduino the more pins it has - so it can do more different animations at the same time. That's the software part. Hardware part - if you just want a lot of strips performing the same animation - just connect them in parallel (same +, - and DATA). Arduino doesn't know if there's 1, or 5, or 125 strips connected to it, it's just pushing out the same signal ✌️

[@Steinveri]

SO I guess I cant solder well cause now my computer says cannot recogn'ze when I try to connect the arduino guess I fried it

[@rhyumi9954]

I have question , i wanna make a smiley with leds that can swap true when u press a button or on an app , when u use this program can u add more LEDS to the project and can u make like smiley faces ? its kinda hard , but i wanted 2 do Zer0 from boderlands and i was thinking maybe u could help out :)

[@graisammaantony7762]

I need Benz stayle ambient lighting in my home

[@eross21]

so the code gets loaded to the nano. and it’s just saved in there. so all i have to do is hit a button and it will trigger it?

[@Zibartas]

By default code just starts once the Arduino is powered on - you need to add any additional functionality like button presses and other stuff yourself:)

[@isabellegrace1643]

Do you sell any costumes any where??

[@Zibartas]

Nah I just do it for fun for now :) I don't think many people would be interested xD

[@isabellegrace1643]

Zibartas I think you could go a long way doing this! Maybe even start your own business selling these.

[@RobertKreese]

3:07 I hate this, I always get it wrong too. :)

[@AlWolf_13]

Спасибо за твои видео, очень полезно и интересно! (я бы перевел на английский, но думаю тебе будет интересно получить иностранный комментарий.)

[@giannisaliev]

Συμφωνώ απόλυτα!

[@fareseleazar6487]

Hola zibartas se que hablas en ingles y quiero aser iventos como los tullos

[@iconic.spidey866]

I tried, I tried, and I tried. But I couldn't get this to work it keeps saying "Problem uploading to board" I think it is time to give up XD :(

[@iconic.spidey866]

The issue is something with the port but I can't figure it out I'm just going to buy a COB strip with a static red color on it and supply power to it lol that will be way easier.

[@Kurt634]

Do you know the name of the tiny ring LED that has 6 on the outside and one in the middle? EDIT: Found it! It's the Neopixel Jewel

[@Kurt634]

Also thank you so much for the informative guide dude 💛

[@LilithForge]

you do know that if you made your videos shirtless you'd get more views...right? !
