Learning about Thread by building a wireless sensor node (with 15 sensors) - part 1
I wanted to learn more about the Thread RF networking protocol so I designed a Thread based sensor node for home automation purposes. Part 1 goes over the hardware design

Flicker - a spherical display
Переглядів 16 тис.2 роки тому
This video describes a project I built a while back. It's a spherical display using a single PCB spinning at 15 revolutions per second. It has a resolution of 128 x1024 and uses a novel LED mounting method. The HDMI port of a Raspberry Pi is used to supply video to the board at 15FPS. I orginally posted this under my other channel @abitembedded1473 but it seems this channel is geting more views...
A Volumetric Display using an Acoustically Trapped Particle
Переглядів 1,7 млн3 роки тому
This video describes a volumetric display I designed and built that uses a phased arrray of ultrasonic transducers to levitate a 1mm foam ball and move it at speeds greater than 1m/s. The POV effect makes it seem as if you're drawing in mid-air! This was such a fun project - I still giggle (maniacally) when watching this thing go. There's something truly magical about watching something levitat...
seeing the details of the schematicl would be cool!
Place a sonic board in the vertical direction of the space and use it to move balls lying completely flat? Then it would be possible to create a three-dimensional terrain, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea!😬
Hi Dan, have you been able to (or would be willing to try to) successfully levitate/trap dust or smoke?
The universe is a Volumetric Displayed Acoustically Trapped Particle
So this is how they built the pyramids, now it makes sense when they say they used sound.
.1mm is 100microns.
What does it feel like when you stick your finger in there?
I'd like to see it perform on the ISS in zero gravity. Maybe in zero gravity it could be turned inside out so a package could push/pull itself by generating external high and low pressure zones to slide itself around.
I’m entirely too dumb to be in these comments but what I’ve beheld is nothing short of magic.
Dog: ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my earrssss...

I'd like to capture data wirelessly from sensors in a remote area (solar power + cellular sim).. but not sure what technology is best for hobby use. For example, there's LoRA, Sigfox, Zigbee, (Open)Thread, Matter, Z-Wave, Bluetooth 5 Mesh.. but I remember reading some are only good for U.S., others only for Europe.. others are closed standards and seem to be on the decline, while others are an open protocol and have better device support? Add in "Gateways" like Theengs or OpenMQTT and things get complicated fast!
espectacular sin duda!!! no hay como la satisfacción de hacer un POV como hobby 😎😎🤓
This is one of the coolest things I have ever seen!
Hey I know this video isn't new but I'm curious. 9:21 wasn't this caused by inertia? You're expecting it to do a 90 degree turn with high velocity. Amazing project!
That was super cool Thanks for taking the time I mostly experiment with chemical reactions Of sorts.
Can this be used in a UV resin 3d printer to have no moving parts?
Is it feasible to trap multiple dots in a grid? Maybe if the ultrasonic speaker array was larger? Maybe with each dot trapped in the nodes of a 3 dimensional interference pattern? Moving an entire grid of dots at once could really be a huge step towards a usable volumetric display going that path. At higher frequencies, the spacing could even be tighter.
Waw.
Cool. What did you use to make your wave pressure animations?
That's insane
I love this! For the future I suggest you record room sound in-between areas where you talk, so the lack of static isn't so jarring
Can you expain to me how exactly ultrasonic transducers generate audible frequencies in air?
Holy shit! This is so COOL!!! 😮
🤯
They’re saying this is how the pyramids were built 🤔
This is so bonkers.
where does the turbo encapsulator go?
Very Impressive! That's a huge amount of work to achieve this result! You've basically invented ultrasonic holography, as a hobby project. Wow!
I wonder what it would be like, if you add some steam or a smoke to it.
Cant we use this to mess with gravity on a large scale? if not why not?
This is the guy smart people think is smart
Mind blown
What the fuck
this is unreal
How long did it take from concept to this vid? Please, break it into absolute timelength, workhours/days, learninghours/days and vid editing, if possible. I am interested in such projects and wonder if it's feasible to do as a hobby.
The time it took me to do this (a few months) will be different than the time it would take you - I've got about 40 years of experience with embedded hardware and software. However, I've mentored students who were able to learn how to do this in about 8 months.
@@abitembedded Thank you for your response. Do you mean 8 months of 2 hours a day or 8 months of full time studies at uni + every evening + all weekends and holidays? :D
I don't understand why the ball stays in the high pressure zone. I'd expect it to be pushed from high pressure to low pressure. Or did I simply misread the wave images?
Incredible, One of the most impressive things I've ever seen
wtf 😱 genius ... is there an update?
Want to see a Absulootly incredible Amount of power Replace your foam with uranium make sure it's well shielded you don't want to endanger anyone or anything around you . It's quite the effect just think of the incredible amount of power you will get when you use this with maga huge amount ultrasonic sound acts as field to maintain shield for the reaction. Let me know what you were able to do as you bring them together for critacality.
Hey how about making a moving face?😊
First, well done. Second, when do you think you will be able to use this to make a presentation to the rebels to illustrate the weaknesses in the death star and how two photon torpedos might be able to cause a chain reaction in the reactor core?
How do you learn to code like this? I just cant understand how you could just know what to code. If that makes sense.
experience :) It's a matter of breaking down the problem into more manageable bits. The hardest part is not knowing what you don't know - but that also makes it fun! Just take the first step, and the next, and the next...
🤯
Instantly got PTSD from that Mentor ModelSim shot. Great job!
I hear you :) - how no one has improved on modelsim in the past, what, 20 years? is beyond me...
People have used focus light rays to do this as well, I think there is a lab that actually accomplished this but with much more precise and stronger control. You should try to look into that, since the technology to accomplish it is very easy to create, atleast relative to this engineering skyscraper. I can understand, somewhat of how much work went into this, and I am completely amazed. Very well done.
I think I figured out the distortion issue, and it just comes down to the fact that the ball has momentum. The position the ball is supposed to be in changes instantly, but the ball takes a moment to get there, and then overshoots a little bit before bouncing back. This also applies to instant direction changes. Doing a little bit of PID action would probably fix this.
What kind of black magic is this!?
Ah so ancient egyptian sound technology works...I have alot of tinfoil hat wearing degenerates to apologise to
This is extremely impressive, I can't even get a battery a switch and a led to work 😂
