For all of those who have been requesting it, I just uploaded the wiring diagram to GitLab!
can we use esp32 for it too ik we can but howw you know what im asking right ??
Could something similar to this work with a RPI Pico W?
I miss physical buttons and controls. Everything is going touchscreen but there's something to be said for tactile feedback. Very cool to see this.
Same here, actually clicking a button feels good in a way that is almost impossible to replicate on a touch screen!
the worst part is someone that may sweat a lot, often can't use touchscreens well.
especially in cars ^^
That's why I bought an old Blackberry 9900, and a Walkman!
And clicking button works always unlike touch screens which fails at times
This is insanely well done, you need way more subscribers dude
Thanks for the confidence boost 🥹
The project yes is impressive indeed, but I find it a bit disturbing that you are reading everything from somewhere below the camera and that the explanations were way too brief.
@@codyrap95I completely disagree. @makeit4less clearly has lots of knowledge about these things; more impressive than that, however, is his knowledge of the average CZcams content consumer. People generally have short attention spans and don’t care too much about the specifics. They just want to see cool stuff. This guy did exactly that
I absolutely love this, tactile feedback is so important.
With that said, the whole idea of this is somewhat ironic. We've spent the better part of the past half-century getting rid of 'dedicated' devices like the camcorder, walkman, newspaper, etc... by combining them into the smartphone. The smartphone was supposed to be the "all in one" device to make everything convenient for you. Now, we're back to "now you can like, skip, and pause songs without having to take your phone out of your pocket!".
The idea of having *everything* in one place sure does sound nice, but when everything is the same, it's hard to find stuff. Everything is doing everything it can to grab your attention, it all fades into a busy mess. Muscle memory and tactile feedback are important. Smartphones seem to ignore this. There's something inherently satisfying about a physical button press bringing you back to a familiar spot. Gesture based navigation and software navigation buttons need to go away.
I had not really thought about that when making the device but you are absolutely right! I think I might build that idea out into a series of videos!
i like to think of phones like a swiss army knife, sure it can do all those things if you need it to but its jsut about the worst way if you had another option, like phone cameras they are great to always have around but they will never be the same as a dedicated camera, my favorite part is how teachers used to tell us that we wont be walking around with calculators all the time.....but now we do lmao
Nokia 5300 has button specifically for that but that's just that phone at that time only that I remembered
And I do sure some earphones/some these kind of devices have this function too
You have no idea how long I have been looking for something like this. I had opted for the open source project Deej to solve the volume aspect for Spotify but this was my final goal. Well done!
Glad I could help!
Very interesting device ! For those of us who are beginners with arduino, could you provide the wiring details ? Would be much appreciated !
This was nice. I've taken some hardware-level classes at school and I think I like the tinker aspect a lot more than the software side. It's kinda hard to just get up and running though, so your video helped out a lot thanks!
I'm glad I could help!
great video!
No short, funny, and packed with information
there should be more creators like you
Wow, thank you so much! I really appreciate the encouragement!
Great video!!
I made a similar project is c# and I was stuck on the login code for weeks. You made it look like a breeze AND you made it without any external libraries. You are amazing!!
I edited out a LOT of work to get that to do what I needed it too 😝
He didnt make it without external libraries and doesnt tell u the exact ones that u need so good luck getting it to work for urself if u were considering that
you're a fantastic communicator! witty, funny and entertaining! you have a gift for explaining seemingly complex ideas!!
The video was suggested to me randomly. I liked it very much! Funny, informative, short and sweet :) Subscribed and looking forward to more, keep up the good work!
Thought of this in undergrad but back then dev support from spotify was almost none. Wonderful demo! Will be using your source for my own build!
Que increible el humor y la claridad con la que explicas en tus videos, me gusto mucho
Super creative application of an ESP82! Loved the video dude
This is incredible how I know this took forever and was challenging and you still decided to give it away for free. Thanks so much!!
Glad it was helpful!
What a nice project ! Your humor is unparalleled, keep making such great videos :)
This looks cool, keep making stuff like this!
That's my plan!
Amazing, man! Great job! Really impressed, from the tech part to the video part
I saw your other videos and this seems to be the first video that had a lot of success. From an entrepreneur perspective, congrats! Great work
I was wondering if you could put a photo on how everything is connected to the perf board? Really nicely made video btw!
Dude this is amazing! Definitely need to try making this soon. Keep up the awesome work, can't wait for more vids like this!
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
This going to help a lot, since my Car Thing will be bricked on December 9th. Thank you for this video!
Amazing project, AND even the comedy in this video was surprisingly hilarious compared to most small-ish channel projects. Keep it up and you'll be the next michael reeves
Fantastic video, and great execution. I look forward to more videos!
Such an amazing video! Instant sub!
Omg! I love your videos and shorts! Thank you for the sub!!
I was actually looking for something like this for ages.
Thank you so much for this.
This was such a dope video man. Keep it up!
Very cool project. Thanks for sharing. Gonna attempt building my own.
Awesome, I hope you get it working!!
made everything really easily heard and said and understoood keep it up man!
I really enjoyed this video man. I have 0 clue how it showed up to me but damn am I glad. Definitely will be watching more! Good luck on your future videos, I’ll be tuning in!
Thank you! I'm glad it found its way to you!
Very cool idea and great vid. Keep it up brother!
This is a super cool little project! Thanks for sharing :)
Great project!! I hope it was fun, and thanks for sharing!!
Great video, fast to the point and entertaining. Looking forward to future content from you.
More to come! Thank you for watching!
Your content is very high quality: Entertaining, interesting and I learned some things too. You definitely deserve more folllowers, but I'm pretty sure those will come. I do think it could be an idea to have an accompanying video that dives into the code a bit. Ofc I can just look at the source code, but since this also seems like a doable project for a beginner, they might appreciate getting to know the code a bit which could allow them to customize the project to their liking or even extend it.
I hope to make more code specific videos to go along with the main video in the future for sure! At the moment however I barely have time to make the main video unfortunately
Needed to make a good Christmas gift. This is perfect!
Dude awesome video! Can't wait to build mine!
i'm so lucky to find this video in my recommendations. thank you for the tutorial, as i have successfully recreated (most of) it, though there are some parts that i need to do without instructions
That's amazing. A lot of people here are trying to figure out the wiring and the pins. Can you help with that? A picture of your device would already help tremendously. ❤
Nice video, and good project!
Thanks! Glad you liked it, it was a lot of fun to make!
Great video, thanks for making!
Your welcome! Thanks for watching!
this video is hilarious! Gonna watch some more of your videos. Keep it up!
Love this, subscribed and looking forward to seeing more of your content 👍🏼
Thanks for the sub!
Actually looks super technical, makes for a cool showpiece when people interact with your stereo at a party.
This is a really cool project dude keep it up
desperately needed this
i subbed just bc, i love this idea, and, its simple, and, gg on the coding!
I feel like a whole bunch of stuff was missing. Like, how do you connect the ESP to the display? How do you connect the potentiometer and buttons to the ESP? How do you input the WiFi password into the ESP?
its a 3 minute video, you shouldnt come in here with the expectation of a full in depth explanation of the whole process. this video is more of a showcase, but there are plenty of other videos around that cover each topic that you felt like he was missing out on
u got me with the api joke. subbed.
yo i actually needed this for my bike, this is goodo
Incredible concise and informative video! I can relate to the head-bashing part as an R&D scientist. The best way I've had it explained to me is that you're bashing your head against a concrete wall, and you know it won't break, but eventually one time you shatter the wall.
Really love your vibe man keep it up 👌🏻
Damnn! I’m not sure how proud you and you’re people are for your work, but I’m pretty proud of you and I believe people like you would be the inspiration for a million kids of the coming generations
Very cool!
I gave a sub because this is some quality stuff. keep it up man
I did made one as wel, Thank you so much! It does exactly what I was looking for. The only downside at this moment is that you have to log in via the ip everytime after an restart.
Hi, I tried to make this, but it is not working even after following all instructions. could you maybe help me out?
Having the same problem
@@BSProductions1 same problem
Getting and putting together something like this is wayyyy cooler than getting a Sonos or something else that makes the experience easier for example. Idk if its the bashing my head up against the wall or the feeling of accomplishment but I quite enjoy doing diy projects for tech stuff. Thanks for sharing I might try this out!
I don't have Spotify but you have a new sub anyhow. Your delivery is the type of content I can digest easily.
Cool project, would love to see touchup on the code section, how to put things together and some projects for 3D printer to make case for it. Overally excellent job!
Thank you for the feedback! I will take it under consideration!
Just getting into coding since couple months and I’m curious to see a summary. It shows to beginners like me what’s possible :)
For beginner's watching this...this is breadboardable using a variant of the microcontroller and oled with header pins already soldered on.
Thank you Very much. For this project. I will definitely build 1. Thank you once again 🙂
I'm glad you liked it!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO! I've been searching for a way to do something like this but a little different. I have an old car and I managed to integrate bluetooth while keeping the original stereo. I have an idea to make a display that is inside a cassette tape case that shows the album cover on an e-ink display and I can probably use 90% of your code! Thanks!
Bro, this is awesome! Awesome project and great presentation. Instant sub.👍
Awesome, thank you!
I was actually searching for a device that is not a phone or similar, that would play spotify, but they're so expensive. This is perfect!
Dude, you're very funny and entertaining, great video
hahaha I love this video and your sense of humour, subbed! and I will probz make this :3
Man you making sooo friking good vids can’t understand how you got only 5k subs Foreal keep it up king❤️
Well done man!! 👏
Ive always wanted to make this, thankyou for putting it out into the world!
You are welcome! Thanks for watching!
Instant sub! Looking forward to the next video 😁
Awesome! Thank you!
When I did a similar thing I used an old arduino and a rotary encoder with button function to control Spotify as a keyboard. But this is a smooth way with the api.
this is amazing! great job! :)
Thank you 🥳
Amazing! Thanks!
Thank you!
That's the smoothest subscribe prompt I've ever witnessed. Caught me off guard there
Cool project - very similar to the Shopify API from Brian Lough.
I'd recommend you update the potentiometer to a rotary encoder so you're not starting at 100% volume when you turn the dial? The encoder could adjust up or down based on any previous value.
Keep up the great work!
That's a good idea, maybe V2!
@@makeit4less V2! V2! V2!
Disagree. I'd rather have a potentiometer since I can look at the position of the knob and know exactly where I am at with my volume setting. Rotary encoders are great for many things but volume knobs are not one of those.
@BryceCassagneres what happens when the knob is at 99% travel and your volume on Spotify is at 1% volume? Pots are ideal for amps, speakers, etc, but this one is adjusting an unknown volume number and adjusting it by a set amount. If I change the volume on Spotify with my phone, the pot is left at the same position, regardless of the volume change. For a system that can have multiple controller inputs, you need a dial that does not have set values or min/max travel.
I'd have a pot on an AMP or a set of speakers over a rotary encoder - definitely!
@@ChunkySteveo I guess I don’t fully understand how he has the code written and the api works, so I can’t answer your question.
What an awesome project! I'm totally gonna make this and I think I'm gonna model a little 3d printed box for it. Thank you!
Awesome, I'm glad I could help!
Could you share your 3d model housing?
Amazing! That was my plan as well 😂
@@jacobnussbaum2309 I've been pretty busy lately, but if and when I do model it, I'll be glad to share it!
@natec1 were you able to build the project itself? I am stuck on how to wire it together and would love an idea!
Script was great and the jokes landed really well. There was a couple shots out of focus but an overall solid video you're going to do great man keep posting!
Thank you so much! I will definitely be checking the focus on my next video more closely!
Is it me, or am I missing something? Do you have any schematics? That will save a lot of time in figuring out the right connections and tinkering and what not. Thanks in advance!
Like the idea!
An amazing idea!
Glad you think so!
I really loved this, more please!
did i just learned how to use a potentiometer on a diy youtube video? great video
Awesome! Keep it going. 😃
Thank you!
Hey I love the idea and tried to make it myself, but with no prior knowledge its quite difficult. Would it be possible to get a step by step explanation? Love the content thanks!
Sick I will do this as well.. thanks for the input and code provided.. now I don’t even have an excuse 😄
awesome! very informative and you made it fun to learn about :)
Thank you, that was my goal
Man your a genius. Thk for share this in this funny way.
Thank you for the compliment!
Awesome stuff
Very cool project 👍 thanks for sharing. Subbed
Thank you 🥳
Awesome video!
Made it simple :D loved your presentation
Thank you!
This is fantastic mate, keep it up pls.
That's the plan!
Great video my dude
Thank you!
Awesome!
Nice project. Did I miss it? Is there a schematic for the little board/display hookup?
Cool project. Definitely a neat idea for those of us who are hoping to have less, not more microphones around the house.
this is awesome!
Great video!
I loved this project! Added it to the "Things I like to built, but I'm sure I never will " list!
I have a lot of projects to do as well need to buy a lot of tools and supplies
Great Video, you seem very professional
I appreciate that!
