Visualizing and counting hidden crewmates in 2022 Reddit r/place (Timelapse with highlighting) Gigawipf 2022-04-06 | Counter per frame in left upper corner!r/place was the 2022 april fools event of reddit where each user could change one pixel every 5 minutes on an expanding 1000x1000, then 1000x2000 and on the last day 2000x2000 canvas.A reoccuring theme was modifying shapes to represent tiny crewmates from Among Us. This video highlights them to give an overview where they appeared the most.Watch in highest resolution if possible.This is not regular "content" for my channel but i thought it is interesting to see the dynamic of that event in a simple overview.The video was rendered from a 6000x6000 source to 4k to represent the second phase on most monitors well enough but video compression of youtube will likely make it hard to make out individual objects.It is likely underreporting the numbers because a high threshold was used and only amonglings with valid legs and backpacks in the same color are considered valid to limit false detections.Rotated and mirrored ones are detected though.An opencv canny edgefilter was used to detect the shapes and several different templates in different rotations were used for detection on a 6000x6000 scaled contour image.This analysis took half a day on a 32 core epyc 7601 and created 100GB of data out of just 5GB of raw images...Chapters:0:00 1000x1000 First stage 2:07 2000x1000 Second stage3:55 2000x2000 Third stageRaw dataset and non highlighted timelapse available from place.thatguyalex.com (github.com/ProstoSanja/place-2022)*edit* after the event an official dataset with all pixel change events was released: reddit.com/r/place/comments/txvk2d/rplace_datasets_april_fools_2022

Driving a tiny 1:10 scale direct drive force feedback steering wheel (Open FFBoard) Gigawipf 2020-06-28 | While working on support for SinCos encoders i got the idea to test it with an old drone motor and made it into a tiny FFB steering wheel.It works exactly the same way as a normal sized one but accelerates much faster and is about 1/8 to 1/10 of the normal size (under 40mm).Supporting sincos encoders is also a big step for the project and will allow a whole range of different encoders and servos to be used.The force feedback feels extremely direct but with any prolonged use the motor gets very hot and its pretty hard to drive with it and it took a bit too many attempts to finish even this short race.All the effects are there and you can feel the curbs, wheel slips and everything else the game has to offer.Project page: hackaday.io/project/163904-open-ffboardGithub firmware: github.com/Ultrawipf/OpenFFBoardGithub GUI: github.com/Ultrawipf/OpenFFBoard-configuratorDiscord: discord.gg/gHtnEcPPatreon: patreon.com/gigawipf
Open FFBoard DIY FFB update 1: Comparing motors, new GUI, PWM and wheel mounts Gigawipf 2020-05-25 | Since the last announcement a lot of progress was made and i want to share some experiences and ideas with you in this video by comparing the stepper with a small and a large servo motor in terms of quality, cost and power.To make configuration much easier a GUI will be developed and the current status is shown at 7:17.This GUI is not final and might change a lot but i hope this gives you some ideas how the FFBoard could be configured.The TMC setup and error handling definetly has to be improved here.The next TMC4671 motor driver will need a redesign of many parts because while the old version works it still has a few problems with reliability and ease of use due to the lack of an onboard buck converter and missing mosfet protections.The old boards are designed for development and testing of the chip. The next version will feature the new chip and should be much easier and safer to use.Chapters:0:00 Intro1:15 Nema34 stepper2:35 80ST small servo4:13 130ST big servos5:48 Motor types summary7:17 GUI walkthrough and button sources14:22 PWM motor control16:48 Thrustmaster wheel mount18:59 New TMC motor driver ideas/problemsUsable example motors:130ST-M15015130ST-M1001080ST-M0402580ST-M02430Nema34 Steppers with Encoder (34HE59-6004D-E1000, 34HS59-5004D +Encoder) Links:Thrustmaster wheel mount STL: thingiverse.com/thing:4379504Nema34 encoder mount: thingiverse.com/thing:4397197Project page: hackaday.io/project/163904-open-ffboardGithub firmware: github.com/Ultrawipf/OpenFFBoardGithub GUI: github.com/Ultrawipf/OpenFFBoard-configuratorDiscord: discord.gg/gHtnEcPPatreon: patreon.com/gigawipf Donate: http://paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=B23BD5FGD5CH8 Big thanks to all supporters who allowed me to get hardware for development and believe in this project.

3D printed FPV tiny tank (Model included) Gigawipf 2018-09-20 | FPV tiny tanks are all the rage and i had to make my own because no design i found had a good mounting solution for the fpv camera or other issues.This is why this design has a top mounted servo where an fpv camera or arm can be attached. It is still servo driven like most of these but that change in a newer revision.Thingiverse STL link: thingiverse.com/thing:3013262There is a short assembly overview in the video but you will need the following parts:RC Receiver (3 channel) i used a tiny 8 channel D8 frsky compatible receier: bit.ly/2MNWULN1x 9g servo2x continous 360° 9g servos (or modded standard servos, i used mg90s)2x lego tracks ("small size")2x M3 screws ~15mm and 4 nuts.2x 3x8x4 ball bearings (693ZZ)1s ~300-500mAh li-po5v boost converter8x 4x7mm rod magnets (or longer rods to glue in place if you have no magnets)FPV Camera.

3D printed DPS5005 lab power supply. USB controlled with python (code and stl in description) Gigawipf 2017-12-06 | I want to show you my recently finished lab power supply based on the popular Ruideng dps5005 module.The case is 3D printed and everything fits inside. I am using it for a few weeks now and apart from the very noisy fan i had laying around it is very handy and i probably wouldn't change anything if i had to make one again.As you probably guessed i am not a fan of talking in videos. But i hope it gives you a quick overview about this project :)This is not a review, there are many reviews for the dps modules but most of them don't mention the official "control software" which needs a huge national instruments framework with dozen of services just to set a voltage... seriously.So i wrote a little python library to make simple automated measurements and maybe someone has the time to even write a gui for these modules.Python example: github.com/Ultrawipf/pydpsCase Model: thingiverse.com/thing:2694980DPS5005 communication version: http://bit.ly/2AxIugl You can support me on patreon: patreon.com/gigawipf

Factorio Music | Midi to blueprint converter test (3 Songs) Gigawipf 2017-05-10 | Songs:VVVVVV - Pressure Cooker (0:32)Wanderers From Ys III - Lava Zone Remix snes (3:30)Clonk - Cheer up (4:52)Factorio recently introduced speakers for the circuit network so naturally i had to check how i could generate simple and scalable circuits from midi files to import music directly into factorio via blueprints.Video is not sped up or otherwise edited, music runs at the internal factorio speed pretty good even with large circuits but there are some limits.Features:Automatic blueprint generation directly from midi files.Limited Drumkit supportPolyphony with dynamic speaker allocationMultiple notes at the same time are now combined in a single memory cell per channel and tickProblems:-Limited note range, factorio only allows notes between F3 and B6-Few instruments with fixed length samples, long and very short notes are not possible.-Standard instrument is piano because of the instrument limitations-Not all drumkit sounds are possible in factorio-The cicuit network runs at 60hz fixed to the framerate, slight timing errors can occur.Following the GM1 standard the channel 10 ist interpreted as the drumkit channel and gets its own speaker pool.Source and current version: github.com/Ultrawipf/midiToolTake it as it is, i mainly made it to test midi functions but it should work fine if you just want to make blueprints now.Will probably be refined later ;)You can support me on patreon: patreon.com/gigawipf
Floppy Music | Necrofantasia (14 fdd + hdd) Gigawipf 2017-03-18 | I just reached 10k subscribers and of course that means more floppy music for you :)Necrofantasia is a special challenge for my floppies and because of the high density of notes. It is a well known black midi and there are many versions available each one with more notes.The was a lot of manual editing to be done but i tried my best to preserve the black midi feeling. Overall there are 76430 notes in this file which is still very high and my floppy music controller has no problems playing that :)Floppymusic Code: github.com/Ultrawipf/midifloppyOverlay made with MIDITrail You can support me on patreon: patreon.com/gigawipf

The naked Siren (Naked Gun Intro) Gigawipf 2017-01-14 | This is an attempt to recreate the intro from the awesome naked gun films on a siren.Sounds a bit weird because of the extreme volume differences in low and high notes, but it should be possible to recognize this tune.How i made it: youtube.com/watch?v=gV5PGPk7PoA You can support me on patreon: patreon.com/gigawipf
Making a super annoying musical midi siren Gigawipf 2017-01-13 | The video does not show everything because i got the idea of making an instrument after the siren was built, but i hope you can follow my process of converting it into an instrument^^I only use less than half power and it is extremely loud. Almost silent at low notes but when you really push it every neighbor will hear it.The esc does regenerative braking so not all energy is lost during fast speed changes and you see the voltage spiking up while braking.Maybe i will add some bigger caps again to store more energy.The controller also supports pitch bends and handles overlapping notes.Of course i will also make some full length music videos with the siren but don't expect anything complex from that pile of plastic.Code: github.com/Ultrawipf/midiSiren60mm siren model: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1534397Motor: Multistar elite 2204 2300kvEsc: Racerstar RS20A lite: http://bit.ly/2jFfN5DAll credits for the siren model go to the original designer.The last short song is lilium from elfenlied.

Lantian 105mm micro FPV Quadcopter Gigawipf 2016-09-27 | I just want to show you my new little garden and indoor quad. (go to 1:55 for the flight)With the right batteries its just so much fun to fly.I apologise if you can't understand me as my voice is currently not really there and i already talked too much before.The receiver in combination with that flight controller sometimes behaves pretty strange for me. Sometimes the quad arms itself or telemetry updates only some values and not the battery voltage.I paid for everything without the batteries around 55€.Parts list: Frame: http://www.banggood.com/LANTIAN-105-105mm-Carbon-Fiber-DIY-Micro-FPV-RC-Quadcopter-Frame-Support-8520-Coreless-Motor-p-1077275.html?p=6F02122925841201511NMotors: http://www.banggood.com/4X-Chaoli-CL-820-8_5x20mm-Coreless-Motor-for-90mm-150mm-DIY-Micro-FPV-RC-Quadcopter-Frame-p-1069067.html?p=6F02122925841201511NFC: http://www.banggood.com/Micro-32bits-Brushed-Flight-Control-Board-Based-On-SP-RACING-F3-EVO-Brush-For-Micro-FPV-Frame-p-1070068.html?p=6F02122925841201511NReceiver: http://www.banggood.com/Eachine-Tiny-QX90-Quadcopter-Parts-Frsky-8CH-PPM-SBUS-Receiver-Compatible-Frsky-X9D-PLUS-X9E-DJT-DFT-p-1079410.html?p=6F02122925841201511N (not the one in the video.

Floppy Music | Nightwish - Stargazers (14fdd + hdd) Gigawipf 2016-07-19 | I replaced the old arduino mega with a 84MHz ARM Arduino DUE and rewrote it as a usb midi device to use the additional processing power. The floppy controller is now a real midi device and does not need a special pc program anymore. Every midi player can send notes :)The chroma keying from midi trail was a bit off but should be completely synchronous as it sends the notes directly to my controller.The ideas are still based on moppy but the controller now works standalone and works like any usb midi device.
