YouTube Button - Nerd Level [ESP8266, RGB LED Matrix]

I made an KZbin reward Button for nerd 65536 subs. It's made out of a 64x64 RGB LED Matrix and an esp8266 that connects to my WiFi and shows the current subscriber count. Enjoy!

that 16bit Overflow made it for me :D

[@glumpfi]

65534 ... 65535 ... 0 Best Moment :D

[@legnyov]

Да! Меня тоже это улыбнуло!

[@jalbarracin]

Also concerned me the font size. Doesn't seem it will display 999,999

[@sorin.n]

Lol. You're getting funnier and funnier! The content is top noch as always! Congrats for 0xFFFF subscribers!

[@tbbw]

He's officially in the three byte club.

[@BrianLough]

It turned out great! Thanks so much for the shout outs! And big thanks for the feedback , I've beefed up the documentation and made it harder for people to ignore it exists 😂 I also added an option on my tindie store for a ribbon cable, this could be used with male headers soldered to the p-in connection as a similar work around to what Luni did. The cable Luni used is perfect but I could not find one at a cheap price. If people have any questions on the PCB please feel free to ask!

[@JamesNewton]

Constantly debugging "customer programming" (kit instructions) is part of the life of any kit supplier. And its great when a customer like bitluni shows you more ways to get it wrong. LOL. "Failure is always an option." And it was fun watching this bit of mis-execution. Thanks!

[@WhoCarrot]

I really loved that it plopped back to 0, well done on this project

[@ChunkySteveo]

Awesome awesome project Bitluni! Very funny too!!! Loved it.

[@robgleason5848]

16 bit overflow?!?! This is my kinda channel. Subbed!

[@argon1490]

Always nice to see someone go into their deep inventory of "will do something with this someday" parts and finally use a part. Maybe there's hope for the rest of us! ;^) Also, congrats for achieving long int subscriber territory.

[@BolverBlitz]

Back to more soldering and building again i missed that a bit in your last videos. Keep it up

[@masaratech]

Marc Bolver How do you have an icon in your youtube profile name ?!

[@BolverBlitz]

@@masaratech Support Bitluni.

[@HariWiguna]

Congrats on the milestone Bitluni!

[@learnelectronics]

Most impressive. Great video.

[@maxsiebenschlafer5054]

Nice to see a new amazing project

[@JOELwindows7]

Gangnam style view count exceeds 32 bit. Now is 64 bit! Let's have a faith that you'll have 128 bit!

[@veronly2]

Wow it's actually cool to this tech in the hand for a DIYer, this is the same tech that's used in concert LED wall

[@alico797]

Great my brother! The involuntary touches of humor are the best x-) ... Never stop uploading videos, you are one of my favorite youtubers. Greetings from Argentina!

[@donaldklopper]

Loved the vid. I always enjoy your sense of humour!

[@50Hz]

That’s awesome, I wanna build one for other apis. Thanks mate

[@BrianLough]

Check out my GitHub (witnessmenow on GitHub) I have it done for a few APIs already (although most need to be updated to Arduino JSON V6) Instagram, twitter, instructables, Hacakaday.io are all done

[@nuttcorp]

Love it man! Awsome as always.

[@Brett_is_Veng]

cool, nerd level stuff thats actually useful. I like it

[@ofsanjay]

always love to watch these funny electronics videos...

[@FennecTECH]

from april to now you have nearly doubbled it :D. 100k is comming up quick!

[@weinanfeng5608]

I propose that youtube should buy your project and grand this as a new KZbinr medal! :D

[@GRBtutorials]

Congratulations on your 2^16 = 0x10000 = 1000000000000000b subscribers!

[@offgridsweden]

Awesome man! Have a great one, Andreas 🇸🇪

[@karllaun2427]

Glad it's not just me. I soldered the angled box header on the wrong edge of the board. I managed to de-solder all 16 pins, but not without mangling and melting the part. Waiting for my order of 25 2x8 box headers to arrive via eBay... :-/ Should have plenty of spares.

[@Mukeshmiktecrep]

That's nice.

[@MaxintRD]

Wow! Another great video stuffed with humour... I'm not quite sure if you made your mistakes on purpose, but regardless I really liked how you used them in this video. Oh... the counter is quite nice too! (Coincidentally I completed my very own Blough LED Matrix YT counter a week ago, but my lack of video skills gave me too much material to timely edit into a new upload...)

[@BrianLough]

He didn't 😂

[@CrazyCoupleDIY]

Good job mate, love the way you present your videos

[@GeekMustHave]

OMG I nearly spit out my drink when I heard the 2001 music and watched the count go to zero, oops, in this case LONGer is better. Thank you for keeping the fails in the video, we are all just humans. Keep broadcasting!!

[@CurtisDensmore1]

The 32 bit joke was so funny, but so impossible to explain to my kid. "Well, you see, tiny mistakes lead to a disproportionate amount of frustration..."

[@ovi_4]

Great instructional video. Well done But hey...... your sense of humor is beyond imagination..... I really like it a lot :))))))

[@TheTinkerDad]

The hacking scene was spot on. Time to conquer Hollywood! :)

[@antonnym214]

Really nice! Fun project. Thank you!

[@ytfp]

Excellent as usual!

[@ahmedalkabir543]

I've been watching great Scott for while, but i have to admit you f***ing entertained than him, keep it up dude

[@MrDoctorApple]

I love your videos ! you have a very good humor !

[@ynotte5503]

Really love your video, and all the funny stuff

[@shyleshsrinivasan5092]

This is brilliant !

[@NerdInventor]

You had me at "Nerd".. ❤😁

[@PaulCorcoran]

this is your best video... love it ... keep it up ...

[@heimdallmidgard4670]

100 missing to 100k. Cant wait for the next video for this

[@radislionestar]

i like how you make the Videos , really funny thx

[@fjs1111]

awesome!!

[@un65tube]

klasse Video - Danke! :-) great video - Thanx

[@TnInventor]

cooooooooooool

That´s really cool :-D and yes, the best moment is at 6:09 :-D

[@dleivam]

Hi.. I come from the future and I can assure you will have 100k subscribers... :). BTW, love your videos, thanks for sharing.

[@davidbernal9503]

Well that's the hardest I've ever laughed at integer overflow.

[@banditchuck440]

play button of the future (Cyberpunk 2020 youtube button} wowwowowoowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowow

[@TransRightsMatter]

Congrats! You got my sub!

[@The.Doctor.Venkman]

You're definitely crazy, but very entertaining! Thanks for the videos :-)

[@bornach]

I made that same mistake soldering up the V1.0.0 board. Unfortunately I don't have a desoldering gun and destroyed the 2x8 header. So had to make do with a pair of 8-pin female headers.

[@REDDOGLewiston61]

Fun!

[@mayuralakshan9130]

That's ma Boy.. !

[@hanpahomeautomation4101]

Nice project! But why not use OTA, no need to open the case for a software change.

[@ryebis]

Fellow freecad user, hurray!

[@ryebis]

none of that Fusion360 rubbish.

[@spacex5179]

4:58 The moment NO ONE will forget

[@tablatronix]

RTFM! lol great video

[@guatagel2454]

We'll wait until 100k subscribers...

[@Kaxlon]

Hey! That song sounds just like a song from a Scoopex demo. =)

[@beforth]

Won't go past 99999 with that font, unless you go to base 16 digits 😂.

[@tbbw]

Or hex :E

[@V4ker]

@@tbbw HEX == base 16

[@ericw.1620]

Hex seems to be par for the course nerdiness for this channel

[@markusfuller]

will the number 100,000 fit or will you have to add a second display panel ?. great video and I enjoy your comedy :-)

[@NickTheHunter]

I thought it would not get any funnier, but 2:02 just left me dead 🤣😂🤣😂

[@Magic-Smoke]

Hilarious - but why did you steal all MY mistakes? lol

[@evereyeminecraft3564]

nerd level. XD love it

[@NekoMimiOfficial]

WAIT I'M SO LUCKY TO POST THIS NOW BITLUNI HAS 100K SUBS AND 100 COMMENT ON THIS VIDEO .. but I made it 101 lol congrats tho

[@mohamedb5060]

very funny variable

[@mr.bigmangames]

How are you getting a precise amount of subs on screen? I have made an Awtrix project and throuh youtube API it shows only with steps of a 100. Like 1100 1200 1300 etc.

[@MD_Builds]

I liked that music during your soldering scene.... Who was it? you?

[@BoB4jjjjs]

I is glad I am not the only one that makes the odd mistake and things do not fit!!

[@CTBLiew]

May I know how to get a comma display to separate the thousand ?

[@AnotherByteData]

Kudos for using FreeCAD! I hope to see using more open-source software! Maybe you can try NuttX ;-)

[@technologeando]

Great video!!! I'm cuban entusiast of electronics. I wondering, how many cubans follow you?

[@raffia16thblaze10]

add the green matric animation in the background!

[@ddrusa]

I want to build one

[@andreag3654]

Great content! keep going like that! I have a challenge for you, I've recently switched from lead acid to 12v LiFepo battery for my motorcycle and I'm struggling to find a proper 2 phase CC CV charger, so I'm wondering, is it possible to build one myself ? It will be great to see your video guide on that topic!!! bye!

[@lightdark00]

Something fishy going on repeating the subscriber count 🤔

[@johnnynakazono6626]

4:35 - What? hahahahaha

[@nrden2223]

Ich liebe deine Videos, aber sind nicht so gut mit ein soldering iron, gibst es ein Möglichkeit das man ein plug and Play Kit kaufen kann? Mit ein wenos oder ein raspberry pi, oder ein adurino und ein Matrix Display

[@waimingchang]

excellent job! is it possible to do that with four matrix for a 128x128 total matrix ?

[@devluz]

2:15 this me on every project. I really need to get proper tools to desolder -_-

[@teddyminator]

How many power does it take to drive this LED matrix?

[@tr7zw]

My 16bit short overflows, time to upgrade it to a 64 bit long :thonk:

[@realmanaesthetics]

Bitluni!!! Consider selling them for KZbin content creators plz!!!

[@donnersm]

How about the scrolling matrix background. In the video you said that you removed it because it was not showing on camera.. But I would really like to have it back...is it included in de code? I don't see it....can you share?

[@yalcin1234]

👍🏻🙏

[@AKIRAfotografie]

Simply ridiculous!

[@UnDarkVader]

4:37 When don't know about OTA via WiFi to change the code.

[@sparalable]

Do you have a live stream of your subscriber count? I want to see if it realy works. ;)

[@ayaanazharkhan9864]

What if you make a 10×15 sqft wall of it.

[@glumpfi]

Hey Bitluni, could you build a split flap display (Fallblattanzeiger) für subscribers or anything else? :)

[@rgarthwood3881]

long sure, but what about the screen size? 134k subs > 99999 ...

[@Learnduino]

Please make toturial About bitcoin price taker

[@radnukespeoplesminds]

what do you do with thisdisplay now that you can't pull an exact number of subscribers anymore.

[@masaratech]

you need a small font when you reach 100K :)

[@BolverBlitz]

not really, you can just join the panels together

[@masaratech]

@@BolverBlitz (;

[@BrianLough]

I'm not sure if I ever tested it, but I'm pretty sure my original code would automatically use a smaller font if the text didn't fit... I could be imagining that 😂

[@GRBtutorials]

Or you can use hexadecimal, which would allow you to get to 0xFFFFF = 2^20 - 1 = 1 048 575.

[@GoingtoHecq]

So how well does it handle your current 6 digit subscriber count?

[@forlifefunny5653]

Please show me How to show the stock price in your project

[@MPElectronique]

Why the convert 565 function? Thanks. Marc And how about convert jpg to the matrix?

[@jantube358]

I thought this will be a perfect clone of the LaMetric! But it's really just a nerd youtube subs counter. :( Could we somehow get a copy of the LaMetric?

[@lightdark00]

I'm wondering if there's any cooperative projects between other youtubers for one bigger project you can do/take part in, possibly helping out all the channels with subscribers.
