Learn how to create a DIY LED ring light for potentiometer/rotary encoder and Arduino, driven by MAX7219 multiplexing chip. I will create a custom PCB in KiCad, and order it together with SMD assembly from PCBWay. The only part that I need to hand solder are the header pins. This module uses 32 SMD LEDs sized 0402 - those are very small and they would be hard to solder by hand. Is my DIY LED ring light cheaper compared to the one that you can buy on AliExpress? Well, it depends. It is slightly cheaper if you order 10 pieces, but it would be much cheaper for higher quantities.
------------------------------------------------------
PCBWay is a service for manufacturing custom PCBs. If you click the link above, you will get a coupon for $5, which is exactly the price of 10 pieces of custom PCBs. In that case, you will only pay for shipping. Do you have any experience doing this? Please let me know in the comment section!

Another option is to create extra parts that you delete after creating the circle. E.g. instead of 32 diodes taking 360 degrees at a spacing of 11.25 degrees/diode, you could have the tool place 39 diodes at a spacing of 9.23 degrees each and delete 7 of them to get 295.38 degrees of the original diodes

Note that unless they changed it since last time I used the led Library it's very inefficient in ram usage, as it allocates a byte per led, when you could use a single byte for the color of all the leds or generate them programmatically.

Here is a work-around process that I think will allow you to successfully use the first automatic circular array dispersal process to make the partial circle that you need to mimic the limited rotation of the knob... I have not tried it, but it should be easy and straight forward. You have 4 arrays of 8 LEDs. On the Schematic = Create an additional fifth array with about 6 LEDs. (I am estimating the number of LEDs by sight from your board-side video pictures.) These additional LEDs will be sacrificial place holders, so you can connect them electrically, in any manner. Go to the board side and automatically disperse all five arrays. Check the dispersal of the six sacrificial LEDs. If the gap size is not correct, adjust the number of sacrificial LEDs and repeat the process. When the gap is correct, lock the positions of all of the LEDs in the four 8 LED arrays, on the PCB board. Do not lock the fifth array of sacrificial LEDs. Go back to the schematic and delete the fifth array of sacrificial LEDs. You should be catching on, by now, so I want fill in all of the final details... Using the footprint assignment tool, etc. But, I will remind you to set the PCB update settings in such a way that your parts retain their original positions, when you update the PCB. If this saves you as much time and effort as I think it will, let me know and I will let you know where to send my fully completed module of your design Oh, and pin me?
@upir_upir 3 місяці тому
Thank you for your comment and the solution you've provided. I ended up with a simple script to rotate the LEDs, so your technique will take longer, but I would still be happy to send the PCB to you. Please send me an email.

@chrisw1462 2 місяці тому
You could get that multiplexer in a surface mount version that could go on the LED circuit board, so you only have to pay for one board instead of two. If you added 5 LEDs, then made the circle, you could then delete the extra ones in the positions you want empty.

Your comments about volume pricing remind me of a long time ago when a friend of mine wanted to make a computer plug in board and sell them. I told him that the whole thing would be cheaper per board in quantity so he ordered and built 100. I think he maybe sold 3 and gave some away. Unless you know you will be actually selling some quantity it's better to just go with the low quantity lrip. You can always buy more when interest peaks.
@upir_upir 2 місяці тому
Fully agree, that’s why I only went with 10 pieces that I will give away for free anyway. It’s very simple to fall into the trap of ordering more units only because the price for one unit will drop. I have made this mistake way too many times.

I will still explore other options in a future videos.
@dougcox835 2 місяці тому
To make this nest level you could use RGB leds. They would be simpler to work with as they are serially addressed so no need for that mux chip. Not sure about what you might do with the collors though. Maybe have them go from blue to red like temperature or with audio maybe have them pulsate brightness with the levels. Actually that might work fine with single colors. Perhaps have a knob perform multiple functions with the leds showing which function is active. But for that maybe an encoder would be better because the knob wouldn't be in the right place when changing functions.

Hi Upir (is it your name?) An idea for a way simpler and more flexible pub design is using individually addressable LEDs - they will be all connected in series and you just need 3 wires: +, - and data. Software will be easier too - and with such a simpler wiring, you will easily be able to have a larger diameter on the LEDs Ring.

Ten bucks isn't great, but it's not a bad price at all. I have a nice button pad with three dials so I don't need a custom pot. So, why am I watching this video? Work avoidance therapy.

Ain't no way that 10x PCBA cost $63, you must be doing something wrong.
@upir_upir 3 місяці тому
Do you think it’s too expensive? Or to cheap?
@XiaZ 3 місяці тому
@@upir_upir Way too expensive, PCB should cost no more than $8 for 10, the 0402 led components from my calculation was $7.672 loading fee included, and assembly fee is around $10, total to around $26

@XiaZ if you can post a link to an online service that will manufacture it for that price, I would be very happy to try it. Thanks!

Your schematics are a mess of wires. You could have made them easier to work with if you spent a few minutes cleaning them.
@upir_upir 2 місяці тому
You are right, I wanted to have it connected as fast as possible to move on to pcb design, I could have used a little bit more time to make it pretty..

Hello! First of all BRAVO for your work and your very educational videos, even if sometimes the code description goes a little fast... I realized the project described in "Pimp My Potentiometer (again)". It works well but the legs of the circular display are not easy to insert into the PCB. In order to make the version "Pimp my Potentiometer -CHEAPER-", can we order other leds than white (NCD0402W1) from PCBWay? Chris Velizy 78 Yvelines FRANCE
@upir_upir 24 дні тому
Thank you for your nice words, I´m glad you like it! Why are the legs not easy to insert? For the custom PCB with LEDs, yes, you can order different colors as well.
