Make a Live Youtube Subscribe Counter
What is up everybody, In this instructable I am going to show you how I made a very simple youtube subscriber counter for less than 5$
3D Modeling + Parts
I firstly made a quick 3d model in a program called solidworks, just to determine all measurements and final render image.
PART LIST:
- Led Strips: https://goo.gl/Mp2fXE
- 8 Digit Display: https://goo.gl/JRxw7C
- ESP8266 WIFI board: https://goo.gl/JRxw7C
Building Frame
The frame is very simple. I just cut a few wooden blocks down to a length and cut a 45° angle, so I can join them together.
- I also cut 2x 3mm plywood boards on which I engrave my logo as well as a hole for the 8- digit display.
- After that I connect everything together as you can see on a circuit diagram and install all components in the previously built frame box.
Programing and Final Touches
Now, I connect our ESP8266 board to a computer and upload this simple program, where you have to change a few lines such as:
Program: https://drive.google.com/open?id=10VLJQe0aFKyfP9_ZXaxA0WGwXcjQPpaP
-your Network ID and password and youtube API key.(there are plenty other tutorials for that.)
-After that just upload that to esp and the subscribe number should appear on the display.
- Before I assemble it together I painted it in black and that is it!
