I'm 58 and have been an electronics hobbyist my whole life. One thing I never got into was digital circuit design. I always thought I didn't know enough. That all changed recently when I was pushed to learn Altium. The bubble of doubt has burst. It's like a whole new chapter my life has opened up. You are a true inspiration. Thank you.

when he said "very easy" it felt like im watching a mumbo jumbo redstone tutorial
-
This looks like *80's TVs which gives me big expectations for the future.
-
3:04 was sooo cute and satisfying!
-
I'd suggest smaller "pixels" and make it a bit bigger, if it can connect to a PC it would be a great Desktop notification gizmo
-
Thank the youtube algorithm gods for recommending this, truly genius idea!
-
You are such an inspiriation. I m a professional embedded system designer who studied all tht formally. Studied advanced computer arch, reconfig computing, dsp, vhdl, top eda tools and design every day. But nothing of tht is even near to ur passion, design genious and ur love wht u do, all tht at such a young age. I share ur videos with my students and thy love it. Amazing ... just keep doing. U have a very bright future

Friend, you are very good at this, greetings from Brazil

If you could connect this to a phone: Phone: gets notification Also phone: vibrates Holographic display: TAPTAPTAPTAPTAPTAPTAPTAPTAPTAPTAPTAPTAP

Now imagine 20inch holographic display and amount of wind it generates.
-
If you put the LEDs at the base, and then use fiber optics to transmit the light to the end, you may be able to avoid the damage that flexing the circuit causes. The coil might be eleminated by goin to another way to do a similar action... a Piezoelectric fan.

I have designed flexible, semi flexible and flexi-rigid PCBs for many years...what your doing isn't normal usage, I applaud your experimentation. Until there is money involved for firms, a lot of experimentation doesn't get done. I often had great relationships with our PCB suppliers and got experimental designs tagged on to other orders very cheaply (and hidden) to allow such work...under the radar, like skunkworks...some even developed into products that, shock horror...make money!!. Great stuff.

If you redesigned it so it could also move side to side a small amount you could double the resolution. You could even reproduce a crt scanning technique with a single rgb pixel led if you had horizontal control as well, although you would need it to move very fast.
-
This is amazing. Forget about designing it, how can you even imagine of building something like this.
-
To cut the cost, perhaps use fiber strands to port the light from an LED on the board. You could even bundle them into a rectangle (maybe 4x16) to have a rectangular pixel.
-
I just want to comment how bless I am to see the youtube algorithm works on my favour. It’s amazing.
-
You are one hell of an inventor . After watching this channel, I changed my automobile engineering idea into a electronic engineering idea 😂
-
2:42 My thoughts exactly. Excellent work, INCREDIBLY cool project!
-
There is a new electric pet like a tamagotchi using a display like this called Bitzee. As soon as I saw an ad for it I remembered this video.
-
Very cool idea. The old Nintendo Virtual Boy uses a similar concept to create it's image. It uses a single row of LEDs and an oscillating mirror to fill out a screen.
