Videos - The Coin Bot

Jump to This Time	Transcription Text
00:00:00	so we want to make a slightly shorter video today the purpose of which is just to attach the other side of those jst connectors to all the peripherals that will eventually run the coin bot that means we'll attach two wires to both
00:00:12	limit switches that we'll use to home the stepper Motors we'll also attach three wires to an addressable LED strip which we'll also use to light all of the coins as they pass each camera as always we want to add a little bit of flux to
00:00:27	each of the pins tin the wires and add a little bit of solder to the end of the soldering iron so that we have a little extra to attach the wires to the pins the same goes for the addressable LED strip we want to make sure that we add a
00:00:40	little bit of flux to each of these connectors and to the ends of the wires then again we add a little bit of solder to the end of the soldering iron and we can use that to attach the wires to the addressable LED strip
00:00:53	connectors now we can get away with using a single pin on the Raspberry Pi to drive the LED strip and and that LED strip can extend into both camera Studios but because of the addressable nature of this strip of LED lights we
00:01:07	can actually choose which studio gets lit before we take a picture of the penny the only thing left to do is to attach all the wires to the Raspberry Pi and see if they're working but we'll save that for tomorrow's video this is
00:01:21	day 20 of a 30-day challenge I've given myself to post a video to YouTube Every Day in the month of September and as always if you have feedback from me about how I can make better solder joints or make better videos please
00:01:28	leave a comment down below but for now that's my two cents thanks for watching everyone and stay awesome
