Two Frame Animations With Edge Lit Acrylic | How to + Arduino code.

[@Daemabus]

I have an 80 watt CO2 laser engraver, I have been laser engraving since 1996. lol it never occured to me that cast acrylic could be manually engraved. You gave me a whole new acrylic art perspective. I have an engraving pen on my desk that I have never used for over 10 years. I love the two stage flashing displays you have created by hand. Thank you for sharing. Ive been trying to figure out how to make my own customized light strips for my framed pieces. You gave me the info and inspiration I needed to push me to try my new ideas. Thank You! I wish you the very best in Life! Good Sir. Subscribed.

I'm very impressed that you did this by hand. Amazing.

[@michaelenechi]

God bless you for this video. Much more cause you’re Nigerian I guess. So I can relate easily with the tools. I am looking to make something like this for my art project

[@taniacorporan4017]

Thank you very much! Not a lot of videos explain this or even envision this as well as you.

[@GaryVolts]

Cool video. I wanted to share a trick I came up with doing something similar. Because the LED devices are wider than a sheet of acrylic you can stack 2 sheets on their edge on the addressable LED strips. Then you selectively mask, using black electrical tape for example, the edge of one or the other sheet of the acrylic. You can then program the addressable LEDs to drive the color you want to the positions that aren't masked. Works like a charm. If you want more light, buy the strips with more LEDS per meter. Last point, the display is brightest when viewed from the alternate side from the one you etched. People won't notice the 2 layers are a couple mm apart, but they will notice the change in brightness as it switches back and froth.

[@AhmsvilleLabs]

Thanks for the tip..

[@elegantcourtier]

If I understand correctly, each sheet of acrylic can be assigned a unique identifier, correct --??

[@AhmsvilleLabs]

Yes...

[@trimbandit9636]

You can also use side lit LED strips in order to be able to put the acrylic sheets close together and/or to be able to use more than two sheets

[@zivzoolander6705]

Side-lit and edge-lit are the same thing as far as i know. Edge-light being more specific to referring to an edge to light, where side-lit would imply any planar surface to light. The technique that he person in the video is using is edge-lit. This is because the light is being applied on an edge planar surface of the acrylic. If I'm wrong, and I have been in the past, Is possible that you might be inferring to a specific footprint ( size / package / topology ) of addressable RGB LED? If that is the case, could you leave a part number i the comment section, so others could look it up, then use it in their own builds? Thanks in advance.😄👍

You are amazingly talented!

Greetings from your 769th subscriber 😀 I will borrow that great idea of yours for one of my future diy projects. Thanks for the inspiration.

this is a very cool idea

[@Yuseigachi]

Nice job, thank you for de tutorial. I try to download the stl and source file without success. Can you upload the files to google drive or somewhere else easier to download and share the link. Thank you in advance.

[@klave8511]

Those are great ideas and very nicely done, thanks!

[@RGB-Sign-Board]

wow beautiful

[@ikeyradio6598]

Amazing 😍😍

[@JRECT]

Thanks for this idea, I'm planning to use your 3d stl files and use it for my next project.

Hello sir, how we can get just that led lights?

[@xs1l3n7x]

That is very clever!

[@ace280671]

Awesome! I want to make some now! Thanks for sharing 👍😁

[@isobellep]

Very good, thank you.

Good work how much is the range of cost thanks

[@selmasoares7123]

Que trabalho Fantástico!

[@Chocmonster1011]

how do I get started making the design though

[@TerrapinCreations666]

I wish you sold the base with the leds.

[@narendranathchattopadhyay6882]

That is a very nice explanation, it would be better if you informed source of materials.

[@barujtc9095]

Felicitaciones que buen trabajo, saludos desde Israel.

[@michaelenechi]

Please how do I contact you. I will like to ask a question about your engraving tool and to build the base… I desperately need an answer 🙏🏽

@@AhmsvilleLabs what if I pay you for it

[@TheJonboix]

I have been watching everything I can find and you are the closest I have found to what I want to accomplish. I see you have named the led strips channel one and channel two. Where are these defined in the code? If I wanted to use more channels, say a front plate which is constant and a back plate using flare; how would I run these steady while running the two frame animation in between? And, what if I wanted to do a three or five frame animation? For example: one a three frame - I would want it to run as One - two - three - two - one - two - three - two - one - two and so on?
