Show and Tell: Hypnocube LED Cube!

[@AwsomeSauce]

Now Hypnocube must face his greatest rival the Hypnotaoad!

[@TheNZJester]

You should try to find 5 square flat plastic convex Fresnel magnifying lenses to make a box cover to go over it. That would make it even more hypnotic. Imagine what it would do to a room with that sort of lens over it

[@xanosdarkpaw1]

ALL HAIL THE HYPNO-CUBE!

[@Barnesy95]

Not sure if you take show and tell suggestions, but i thought you might like to show Metal Earth 3D laser cut models. They are made by a company called Fascinations, and are extremely detailed small laser cut metal models that don't require any soldering or glue, just some pliers. I have made a few and extremely enjoy it, there is even a Star Wars series of them. Very cheap too and I think people would quite like them!

[@ruggedbrother8816]

Needs a 'Rubix Cube Mode' where it starts of as random colours and slowly rotates the LED colour pattern to simulate a completed brick! Then, someone needs to scale it down so it fit's into an actual Rubix Cube. Making it portable and rechargeable!

[@toonv4023]

I've learnt a lesson today... As long as the silkscreen looks sexy enough, people will buy it, whatever the cost.

[@JDdoesstuff]

I would have to build a plastic case around that, not very child proof otherwise! Looks cool!

[@kevinxucs]

Game Frame in 3D! Very cool

[@EdibleOutdoors]

All hail the Hypnocube!

[@fasle2]

One of my friends built this exact thing for a senior design project a few years ago. Wonder if he's selling them now...

[@Gerberbaby922]

Why does the assembled cube cost $50 less then do it yourself kit?

[@Gerberbaby922]

David Thornley So you are saying they made the DIY kit more expensive so it would sell more?

[@Crocxr8]

Gerberbaby922 The $100 assembled version appears to be an older version without USB capability. Then $150 for this kit which has USB and $275 for the assembled USB cube.

[@Gerberbaby922]

***** Ah, you are correct. The information Tested provided was misleading.

[@Jestrath]

I made my own hypno cube for like $5. I bought 100 super bright leds for like $3. Although it took like a month to get them imported from china. They are better quality and easier to use than the ones in the video. They have two leads. Positive and negative and have full RGB on their own.

[@f1matt]

Lindsey Stirling is performing at CES! Want to be there!

[@SynytsiaAnton]

Good job! I'm impressed with that thing. One advice. Turn off room lights so we could see the lights better Thanks

[@akeelshah7904]

wait am i missing something $150 for some specially ordered leds

[@GreyDevil]

I've actually been interested in buying an LED cube for a few years now, but my main issue is the animations. I would like it if the LEDs did visualization for audio beyond pre-programmed cycles, then you'd get more bang for your buck beyond a pretty lamp.

[@sithinstructor]

Could you put mirrors on two of the back sides and show us what that looks like? I think that would look even better... Also I think I would add a cover for the electronics.

[@CritiasSelethos]

150 is a rip. I'm an engineer for the Navy, I have built something similar to this for for fun in about half a day with about 40 bucks. Even with shipping and a bit of extra for profit, a reasonable price is like 65$. Save yourself some money and do it yourself. That's the fun part anyways.

[@unvergebeneid]

One hundred and fifty bucks? For what?!

[@Ravengeno]

64 RGB LED's, which are quite expensive, the board, the microcontroller, the box, the switches, all resistors, all other small components, support for USB controlling, the code that runs the microcontroller that controls the animations. I'd say that it's a fair price.

[@Umadbroprankers]

Ravengenocide www.vat19.com/item/hypnocube-4cube-animated-light-display not a good price... vat19 also overprices their shit

[@Allenrythe]

Ravengenocide don't forget the designer's salary

[@ryan2010giggs]

Ravengenocide these parts cost a coulple pence each for the most part

[@CraftnMomma]

ryan2010giggs in bulk, but at your local radioshack way more. trust me, worked there for several years. Parts drawer items are getting pricey when you can find the ones you actually want... which is rare anymore

[@sc2HawkEye]

ALL HAIL THE HYPNOCUBE!!!

[@BoomBoomBrucey]

SOL-der why do so many Americans say Sodder?

[@Scoggs117]

Sorry our sovereign nation that has its own version of english is different than yours.

[@BoomBoomBrucey]

Scoggs117 On behalf of my people, I accept your apology.

[@BoomBoomBrucey]

Well then stop spelling Kilometre, centimetre and all the other metres as "meter"

[@karambiatos]

Bruce Long and picture as pitcher.

[@Theduckwebcomics]

Scoggs117 It's pronunciation, not the "version" of English. It has more to do with accent.

[@artisteroi]

If you put frosted glass around that thing it would be awesome.

[@10100rsn]

Build an infinity mirror in cube form to put around it to make even more awesome.

[@AwesomeGames56]

So the cool thing is that Kipkay already made this a few years ago so it's really nothing new. :D

[@williamivborges9151]

Very cool . Have fun in vegas.

[@JohnDoe_1237]

next time you film something like this, please turn the lights off and block the sunlight ;)

[@isaiahdaniels5643]

Ooh yeah, $150. You know, for fifty bucks more I could get a 3DS. But nah, I'd rather blow all my money on 64 leds, some wire frame and an exposed board. Because at least the latter can be a centerpiece to put in my empty apartment for when no one comes over. Trite.

[@TVFILMBUFF]

All hail the hypnocube

[@toneoneonly]

thanks Norm

[@aspade01]

All hail hypnocube

[@AmmyWolfable]

This is really cool! Nice not as much haha but you can probable figure out how to do it yourself

[@jellmag]

NICE!

[@moodster525063]

Where are you guys staying at in Vegas? I live in Vegas and I would like to come say hi!

[@Apolepth]

Oh, its very nice

[@DeaconTaylor]

why is it less expensive to get it already assembled? was the caption wrong? 150 unmade, 100 made. ?

[@NORKIE]

i feel a law suit coming.

[@iissamiam]

I would love to see that synced up with audio somehow.

[@AnalogX64]

Digikey sells RGB LEDS for $1.062 each if you buy 100 and $0.66 if you buy 1000 I dont know how much the other components costs. That should give people an idea if $150 is too much or not.

[@xonarc]

sorry but after many years this has to be my first comment..... why does solder loose the L in the USA? it is SOLD ER .. it is not SODER. slightly drunk and meh just venting.. just to add, love the chanel

[@MrStoikovich]

Please please please where do I get that t-shirt???? I keep seeing Norm wearing it and it's great :)

[@cottonproductions]

Yeah that thing seems way overpriced especially for that much work and it doesn't look that great finished. For that price I would expect it not to look like a prototype. Still, great job building it successfully!

[@MsTrollsErywhere]

It's a good project, I can build it too... xD

[@allluckyseven]

This makes me think of a 3D GameFrame. Not sure how that would work, though.

[@sklgy]

I would like that but then like 20 times more leds so it will be some sort of screen.

[@Alpha2749]

The funny thing is a pre built one is cheaper than the Un built built one.

[@1S1KStealth]

looks exactly like what kipkay was doing ages ago just more programming maybe

[@specialks1953]

There is a great Cube tutorial on KZbin if you look at them. This would be a rip off at 1/2 that price.

[@chrissharp1906]

I like you Norm, but as a Brit it's bad enough watching Americans misspell the English language, but why can't you at the very least pronounce it properly? In the USA, how in the hell does the word 'soldering' become 'soddering'. It's 'sold-err-ring'. If you sell an item, you haven't 'sodd' it have you, you've 'sold' it. Jesus!, you'll all be using the ancient, out of date Imperial standard weights and measures next....Oh! wait...

[@3rdKingPlays]

I understand that you would buy the kit so that you can have fun and all but a $50 price difference between the kit and assembled? Seriously?

[@ramsaygordon970]

Whaaaat 150$ for 64 LED's and a few integrated circuits?

[@euphoric-6177]

What language would you use to program something like this?

[@FlagadorTV]

I built mine for less than 20 bucks ;) !

[@TheGeektrick]

What camera did you use to record?

[@KhanSahinkaya]

Nice

[@Sillyzombie666]

$150 wtf the leds in that cost less than a $1 and you can buy an audino for under $30 even under $20 and people have made enough of them tht you can just download the base code for it

[@zmlchannel286]

Cool

[@Spacemonkeymojo]

This looks kind of unimpressive on the camera, maybe it's because of the light. It would be cool if it was larger, maybe 10*10*10, but then you have 1000 LEDs haha.

[@MsSomeonenew]

So it's extremely expensive and has no use, a must have item if ever I saw one...

[@DamianReloaded]

Seriously? Or this is just a way of trolling premium members? ^_^

[@willemvandebeek]

Answer: When it is ready.

[@nicholaslenzini1759]

Brother built his for 70 bucks and it's 8x8x8.

[@Rosa_AI]

you can make a rubic cube out of that

[@NORKIE]

Tested you know they sell these on vat19.com right ?

[@brendawatt7081]

Can get same effect with led christmas lights with multichange patterns ( well mire or less) and cost a fraction of that rip off price !

[@Phishnet12]

It reminds me of a robot brain.

[@valken666]

8x8x8 led cube for $25 on Ebay

[@valken666]

return of investment value is probably $5, this project is a failure

[@UnitedsWorld]

oh that looks like a nice build but not for $150. not many people have lots of money and lots of time on there hands so don't know who would buy this thing

[@CommandoTactics]

$150? LMFAO, it's only leds, chips and some little wire! HOW IS IT 150$?!

[@80TheMadLord08]

$150?? for blinking lights... Give me a $40 plasma lamp any day...

[@MrMatthewrhodes]

Why? Life is too short for this.

[@suijin1463]

filipino ka? OR American

[@grabisoft]

150 dollars for some crappy LED's ? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

[@wtforkdrums]

150$ for parts worth 15$??? Wow.

[@MrLoopaLoop]

150$ for few LEDs :DD LOL. A student can desing that in a couple of days..

[@OlivierVanHeulen]

150$?! That's way too much geez.

[@charlieholgersson245]

Kipkay allredy done this and iT is chaper

[@CabalaCicero]

This guy is just the definition of cringe.

[@1billionz]

oculus!!

[@Yfr28]

>$150 HAHAHAHAHA no.

[@ArkitectHaizara]

Not first

[@bloodaid]

Actually first.

[@DoorReformed]

Or you could be a pre-made cube from Vat19.com for $50 bucks less

[@ForgedEggs]

About 50 bucks and some time will get you a better device and you learn to program.

[@AirsoftDonny]

TURN THE LIGHTS OFF FFS!!!

[@diogoatrodrigues]

it's expensive ;/

[@TwoPlusTwoEqualsFive32]

$150 Um... how about nooo.

[@sirdoge361]

O___o

[@RohanSpartin]

Looks cool, but... exposed motherboard... Do not like.

[@swsephy]

$150 seems like a lot for something that doesn't look all that great.

[@Firenyard]

150 ?!?!?!??!?!? WTF it is worth 5 Dollar if u ask me. try arduino lol wow u tested guys know arduino though, i dont have to tell u that

[@nikok665]

Looks like come kind of shitty Kipkay project...

[@cliftonroote9703]

First

[@samuelrapa5772]

To die

[@eduardltd1]

It looks f*ing lame!
