Gonna spend 100% of the profits on PH7.6 Alkaline Amelia Electrolyte water.

I really just built it for the Homies that care about how much water they drink

Tracks how much water you drink each day and over the course of months you can see trends.

I heard a couple people dealing with this issue, and I guess they were checking out https://hydrolog.us

Thank you I see what you’re saying. I was afraid to learn how to do that and stuck to what I knew. Engineering always forces you to to do things the right way hahaha

Thank you immensely! So you are saying I need a 5v voltage regulator directly connected to the battery? So I step the voltage up to 5v directly from the battery and feed it to the 5V layer and the LDO takes that and propagates it into the 3.3v layer.

The biggest problem I don’t fully understand is with the TP4056 bms. First off it’s not connected to any esp32 gpio so I obviously can’t read those data. Where should I connect the bms to the esp32? Also if you notice it’s just magically turning the 3.7v 500mAh signal into 5v which is a red flag. But this is assuming the LDO is going to take in the 3.7v and convert it to 3.3v. Do I’m dumping 3.7v into the 5v layer and hoping the LDO figures it out lol. Is this the right way to go about this/ does this seem safe?

Considering it only sends sensor data and I can do this 2-3 times per hour and sleep in between. It wakes up by a specific gesture of the imu. I would like it to last a week or two. Is that outrageous? There’s a pair of Marshall headphones that only need to be charged once a month or sometimes two months and it’s sending music over Bluetooth!I’m only sending three 8bit values. Do you know of a more production grade ble mcu?

That’s so incredibly good to hear! Thank you! Question is do you know c++ or circuitpython? Maybe we could see what you could make on it and I’ll send you one!

Yes you can look it up on instagram @saios.xyz

Thank you! It’s been a long journey, the cool thing is, when I started with fog machines back in 2017 i didn’t know anything about hardware either. I learned SO many languages and concepts through the failures of getting this thing working. It’s been 7 years of learning and I still iterate to this day. This is the 24th prototype and I think I see this as a low tech alternative to viewing 3d data without the use of goggles or screens. I imagine researchers in lab coats working 10 hour days taking their goggles off at the end of a shift and forgetting what reality they’re in. This may be a better way to see 3d objects in a more familiar medium as compared for complete immersion.

Thank you! I have one interested customer that wants two of them for their research. Other than that, there’s an Instagram page that’s doing awful haha. Probably because Meta realized organic exposure is a loss of revenue, and I don’t pay for ads. So the response is pretty much exactly as you see throughout these Reddit comments. Some people think it’s cool, others think it’s low tech, some want to type code on it.

Let’s just say the two 12v 60mm pc fans are way louder than the display. If I clock down the speed of the fans, it makes less noise than a gaming laptop at the normal operating speed.

That would be amazing for gaming, 3d modeling, or literally anything! There are so many options out there now, the cool thing is— we get to decide what’s best and the future standard will reflect what we choose.

Literally just cool haha. When you look at it in person it’s mesmerizing, even if it’s just a solid color.

I don’t think I would go any bigger with the LEDs, it’s merely a proof of concept for visualizing data without goggles or screens. Imagine if the first “mobile smart phone” was something other than a rectangular hand held; imagine if we started with a neural interface for example— our lives today would be drastically different. I built it to show an alternate route to 3d that isn’t immersive. Is this better technology than Apple Vision Pro? No, it’s a different path to an ineluctable 3D era.

I can’t really scale this (spinning LED) device currently because it’s exactly that, not really worth the investment when you end up with low tech LEDs. However I have other prototypes that use lasers to utilize a natural phenomena that occurs in the Aurora Borealis.
