They Never Shipped, So I Built My Own Focus Dial from Scratch

[@baldiesss]

looks like a commercial product! well done

[@jeandeanmusik]

I’m just trying 😊

[@jeandeanmusik]

I’m just trying my luck 🍀 for for this one ☝️ thank thank 😊

[@KevinCrouch0]

I love it! And I love how you showed it altogether at first, but broke it down into "solvable" steps!

[@schrodingerscat1863]

Very nicely done, I think the only thing I would change is to use a circular display so the screen goes edge to edge doing away with the need for LEDs around the edge.

[@max_and_cheese]

You can expose sensors from HA to the HomeKit integration and from there you can use an iOS shortcut to trigger your focus modes. The video is a fun watch. Keep up the great work!

[@James-vd3xj]

This is the perfect example of why everyone should subscribe to your channel. While slightly too advanced for me, I have a few of my own ideas thanks to you. Please keep this type of content coming!

[@BankruptGreek]

just started watching this video, it looks very similar to an open design/project for an input knob with customized feedback, I am not well versed but it used a motor and hall effect sensors to detect the position of the knob. The tactile feedback was achieved through the motor, you could have steps, no step, a switch like option where it locks to the options. Very cool

[@rntr200]

Wow I want one. I’ve been looking at these scrolling style wheels for several projects but I love the led and screen idea. Can’t wait for the parts list and files to go up.

[@Schnabulation]

The hack with the bluetooth audio and iOS automations is amazing! I need to replicate that!

[@brodelsam]

16:53 looks like a full blown lens cross section. Amazing project as always.

[@wazzuppbabygurll]

can u pls mention that graphics design tool....?

[@artemis1825]

Autodesk Fusion 360

[@PoweredUP_]

Lopaka?

[@NikolasKelava]

I keep asking myself that! We already know that you used Figma for some projects to visualize, but how do you animate?

[@salimbenbouz]

yep that's the one!

[@salimbenbouz]

I use After Effect to animate Illustrator visuals

[@imbdb]

Awesome as always, thanks for this video.

[@CptKillside]

Wow, I love it. Thank you very much for uploading this! Awesome project, can't wait to implement it in a mobile do not disturb system. This will help a looooooot of people. Great work! You've earned yourself a new subscription!

[@rigcustoms5994]

Brilliant project , great execution, and amazing cinematography !! Dude you really deserve way more subscribers that you have!

[@data1217]

What's the UI design tool's name

[@doctornefario]

Lopaka

[@salimbenbouz]

It's called Lopaka and I just linked it in the description

[@meikgeik]

This is a way more elegant solution than what some of my employees currently use. I might have to make some for people at work who might want them.

[@bbednarik]

Perfection! Thank You!

[@inventorsyndrome8894]

and the best part was that I was just looking at your Ocreeb 2.0 project for about the tenth time to see that You had released a new project for me to make!! XD

[@Zamai]

Just an idea to avoid bluetooth hack: Your ESP is connected to mac >> on button press run it runs shell script >> `shortcuts run "NAME OF SHORTCUT (that sets the focus mode you need)"`. On next click toggle ON\OFF. Since mac and phone share the focus mode automatically no need to touch the phone. Or ESP32 triggers a key combination mapped to hotkey that is mapped to apple shortcut on the mac, not sure what is simpler.

[@akthamahmed2171]

That is Very Awesome, Well Done

[@juanramonguzmanpineiros3623]

Beautiful device! Man, looks like production ready! Cheers🎉

[@WillPeters22]

Dude I was trying to get some ducking work done and now I’ve gotta build this. Well done sir

[@marsgizmo]

great prototype! 👏

[@salimbenbouz]

Thanks!

[@jodiac]

This is so very impressive! I love the product and your design! I must say though, this really shows why the original foundraised product didn’t catch on enough. Something with all of the features and the level of design of your product would’ve been ridiculously expensive to make for a very niche little product. Regardless I’m so very impressed, thank you for this great work!!!

[@RohanRege]

Hey! Very cool project can you share the tool you used to make the gui ?!

[@salimbenbouz]

It's called Lopaka. I just linked it in the description

[@michaellindborg1510]

Looks as amazing as all your projects!

[@jimmyscott5144]

This is a very cool and actually doable project. I hate the ones that use custom pcbs because I don’t want to order custom ones unless it’s something I really need (which means I never buy them because I’m not that motivated)

[@gameboys248]

This looks epic, I do not trust myself that I would use it. But having some automation on there and controlling home assistent? that would be cool.

[@waldperlachfabi]

I’ll build one myself! Waiting for the files!

[@JimmyJamesMarquees]

Awesome project man! Definitely one of the better channels on youtube 😄

[@KevinCrouch0]

Very cool!!

[@cdsn09]

Its amazing !!! I really want one

[@RetroBuiltGames]

everything you do = well done.

[@alphadanger2223]

What library did you use for WiFi provisioning it looks super nice?

[@Carmisci]

Why not use the NFC trigger for the shortcut and put a NFC card where you'll put your phone? i feel like that'd be easier

[@MegaMiley]

That will still bring up the "Confirm you want to run this shortcut" popup unfortunately

[@yetzt]

6:52 "I'll link it down below" - so, where is it, Salim? WHERE IS THE LINK, SALIM?!?!

[@choanlpoto]

Wheeeeeiiire

[@4Bakers]

it's called lopaka. found it in a different comment lmao

[@salimbenbouz]

haha! Thanks for letting me know. I was half awake when I copy pasta and missed that chunk. It's posted now

[@calerickson3840]

One more distraction I must click on…I will need one of these devices ASAP Lol awesome stuff

[@bowieinc]

Amazing!

[@ghostblackout1]

It looks really good I might make one

[@GadgetyMV]

Crowdfunding time!

[@LifeofAntontheOfficial]

Cool man!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Love your design asthetic and attention to detail. Awesome project!

[@salimbenbouz]

Thank you!

[@kaukospots]

Thank you for reminding me I never got my Time Chi xD

[@DentedPrinter]

Let's go. Another amazing project ❤

[@AlexZettl]

love it hope the algrythm pics it up und you get the well earned cudos

[@fernandoj8552]

why not use a oled circular display?

[@hardcodedsoftware4212]

Price

[@Andy-js5jy]

Oled display is extremely expensive and difficult to bulid due to oled is different that normal display

[@MumrikDK]

​@@Andy-js5jythe one he is using is already OLED, just not a big round one.

[@Andy-js5jy]

@MumrikDK maybe he test oled display about there are limited hardware about he check any issues. But problem is small chips (maybe old version) doesn't support olded display

[@thespencerowen]

What does your video setup over your solder station look like? I'm trying to film my soldering and not having luck. Fantastic product. Will this be a kit? I'd like to build it

[@MrBearitall]

Wait, there is an option to not need confirmation for an automation to run. Not sure what happened there with that but hope you figure out a way to not need any outside triggers

[@wtfusernamecrap]

Great project, amazing presentation! Patreon when? 😊

[@KateNesD]

Cool build! What clear coat did you use on the parts? The finish looks nice.

[@CamiloSperberg]

I've never tried it, but I believe the home assistant companion app can trigger focus mode as well? But perhaps that is just on Android and not iOS. Excellent build! Loved the attention to detail, subscribed!

[@nathanl6598]

Man resin printing looks like a lot of effort

[@srt252]

Awesome work! What was that tool you used for the OLED graphics? I missed it if you linked it somewhere

[@salimbenbouz]

Thanks! It's called Lopaka. I just linked it in the description

[@srt252]

@salimbenbouz thanks a ton!

[@JubMrJub]

IDK man, Looks like you were already pretty focused... I'm just kidding, great video and what an impressive product!

[@circuithijacker]

Very nice! Thanks for sharing!! I use an M5 Dial for these types of UIs. Your gadget is amazing with wonderful additions like the light ring. Your creation should be made into a product... why not Kickstart it?

[@mavamaarten]

Quality over quantity, I like your style

[@bmorr]

Is there a place where we can find the parts list?

[@DavidLindes]

Very cool! The one you point us to at the end is cool, too! Now, when will this show up as a kit (and/or pre-built) on Tindie or somewhere, for those of us who aren't up to doing _all_ of the work (for whatever reason(s), but can maybe do some of it). :)

[@till2911]

Bro porcrastinated by making an anti procrastination gadget 😂😂

[@drew8135]

Great project. What did you use for screen design please?

[@manishgautam2424]

Cool, I wish I had the same.

[@venjsystems]

ADHDers will love this

[@YewHangChua-u2q]

Great work! But why not just use something like M5Stack Dial?

[@AlphaMachina]

I have this already. It's built into my Alexa Echo Show 5.

[@233kosta]

Sweet! Where do I buy one?

[@adarshc43]

amazing

[@amiraghaee4781]

perfect please share project files , thanks

[@321ekib]

why you did not use round display?

[@babyj7195]

there are many out there already like this

[@Mexmex1975]

Problem withe these projects as with Scot's, some components run out as soon as you publish the video.

[@billnobi]

Brooo. I am literally going to make this and it is also the best looking low cost project i have ever seen. It would be a great help if you include the circuit diagram. I am a student and this is going to make my studies super efficient. 😊😊

[@SethFX]

Imaging know how to do all that

[@nurfelixyt]

Imagine watching this video because you got distracted off of your project 😢

[@PCMODZ]

Can you upload the files for this project please 😊

[@kilianhofmann2495]

You are very, VERY quickly becoming my favourite maker/creator on youtube. The production, the educational aspect, the projects/products, the reviewing of your mistakes, it all is such high quality start to finish. Please keep doing what you love - and if that is creating these videos, I'll gladly be watching.

[@bertusbob]

👍👍👍

[@maxmoch6044]

Cant you just use a switch from a mecanical keyboard as buttons?

[@imXO69]

No wayyyyy i just started building this yesterday. Perfect timing

[@eliaelad]

Nice video but please don’t use the AirPods sounds if you want people with AirPods watching your video.

[@DefaultSengh]

Yooo

You went a little too far, but very cool

[@PedroKxi]

How this man has only 65k subs is absolutely beyond me, production quality is higher than most 10mil+ channels, product looks like it's come straight from a production line! Excellent video

[@MumrikDK]

The channel has 8 videos...

[@PedroKxi]

@MumrikDK regardless of that, his production quality is leaps and bounds above channels that have hundreds of videos and a lot higher subscriber count. I'm saying he is deserving of it and shouldn't be as low as he is. Especially when you look at view counts.

[@Issa_eth]

I wished I had 30% your knowledge

[@nevermind6270]

So you made an overcomplicated kithcen time ($1-5 per piece) to justify this pathetic briliiant ad. Very impressive

[@WhoStoleMyFreakingUsername]

I don't think your kitchen timer has a screen, integration to you phone and a beautiful design (:

[@nevermind6270]

@@WhoStoleMyFreakingUsername It has in fact a screen and a pretty slick design.
