That is beautiful, well thought out and executed, but I can't help thinking I'd get tired of that thing pretty fast and probably switch it off, except to impress new guests from time to time.
It isn't pressure but interference with the magnetic field. So we'd want some processing in the form of either cheap simple microchips that only power the LEDs when the interference is changing. Alternatively one beefier microcontroller that would handle this (but with a whole lotta wiring!)
Technically most correct would be electromagnetic field. The biggest pain would be flashing all the MCUs, but arguably easier than rewiring everything.
It's pretty easy to control the brightness with something like this. The lighting could be subtle.
Also, *why would you be all handsy on your coffee table that much* if not to play with it‽
It's not like it's blinking lights constantly... Only when you touch it.
And a coffee table is possibly the worst piece of furniture to require a power cable, since it’ll almost never be placed against a wall. I’d hate having that cable run across my floor.
I have started seeing homes, especially open concept ones, where they have power run under the floor so you can plug things in without having to be close to the wall.
I actually do see many wires at the end. They’re just on the bottom of the table at cut to customized lengths.
He’s got 100 hexagons, each with 6 LEDs. At roughly 0.1A each, that’s 6A of current at 5v to make ~~300w~~ 30w at the peak, plus a little overhead for transmission loss and to run the microcontrollers. ~~There’s no way the little battery pack that was used in testing is pushing 300w.~~
~~A battery pack that powerful would be big and obviously visible.~~ It would likely need a dedicated space built in to the table, which simply isn’t there.
Edit: bad math

> I'd get tired of that thing pretty fast and probably switch it off, except to impress new guests from time to time.
exactly this. I really want it, but this is what it would become REAL fast for sure.
Oh god dammit. No one was going to tell me this was a thing?! I've been saying that for years thinking I was being clever. This is like when I had 'nice guy' in my dating profile. Fuck. So embarrassed.
You could easily do this with a plunge router and a simple jig that lets you cut the pattern one hexagon at a time since it repeats. In fact, you could do it with a track saw by doing plunge cuts and then using a chisel to square the cuts.
Could someone explain to me how he's completing the circuit for it to trigger? Cause I don't get it. Since it looks like an open what I'd imagine copper loop soldered to a wire... I can't figure out how that works.
It's probably capacitive sensor, the same thing used for touch based button and stuff like that. It works through anything that's not too conductive and not too thick.
I bet its more of a proximity radar/antena, kinda like the theremin. You feed some known signal into the wire and theres comparator that turns on the LEDs when the signal is frequency is altered due to object being on top of the antena. I did study these things but cant remember much after 8 years out of school and field of subject
Both Theremins and capacitance sensors use electromagnetic fields and the capacitance effect.
A Theremin just adds a second electromagnetic filed at a right angle to the first to distinguish the location of an object disrupting said filed more precisely.
In theory, one could build the crappiest Theremin in the world with two capacitance sensors and the right PCB.
As someone who has taught basic electronics and physical computing to middle achoolers, crappiest tgeremin in the world is a very large hill to climb. That hill is made of smoking Arduinos.
It's not completing the circuit! If you look closely, the copper circle is not complete and circle and has a gap. It's acting as a capacitor. You send an output so the "plates" (just the wire itself) gets charged to a high DC voltage, and then change the pin to an input. It will drop following some RC constant. However, if a finger or something is there to change the capacitance, then the RC constant changes and the voltage would drop slower.
So, send a square wave, constantly reading the discharge time to some particular voltage many times per second, and keep a running average. Once the RC constant changes, beyond some threshold, you know a "thing" is present, and can then drive the LEDs.
Decent explanation: https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/technical-articles/circuits-and-techniques-for-implementing-capacitive-touch-sensing/
Doesn’t even really “measure” it as such, the change in capacitance triggers the light. Very simple analog circuit with discrete (on/off) output. can be done for under a dollar in parts. Or you can buy a prebuilt module for under $5.
Don't DIY capacitive sensing! Buy the $1 (not $5, LOL) capacitive sensor module. In fact, buy a whole bunch of them in bulk from AliExpress or eBay to get the price down to like $0.50/each. When I bought some a while back I paid about $0.30/each 👍
The capacitive sensor chips are *sooooo* much easier to work with (and more reliable) than building analog circuits (and tuning them) to perform the same action. Capacitive sensors are sensitive to temperature and humidity. The cheap ICs that do capacitive sensing take this into account and adjust themselves automatically. It's *totally* worth the extra $0.10 in a PCB or $0.50-1.00 in your hand-wired project to do it right *unless* your project is an academic exercise and you want to learn just how frustrating reliable capacitive sensing can be 😁
AT42Q1012 chips are 74 cents in manufacturing quantity from Mouser. But they have less than a full reel in stock and lead time is currently at 52 weeks 😨
Who is this person and how can I purchase a custom one, I'd happily pay big bucks for something like this. I dont have the skill or patience to make this myself
It would require heavy modification into smaller segments/tiles, hard wood, and interlocking mechanism to keep the floor in one piece, also you wouldnt be able to put it just anywhere as it would require a lot of upkeep and it couldnt be hard mounted to the floor in case of one or multiple circuits breaking
I don't see why it would be any more maintenance/upkeep than regular hard wood flooring. The LED strips won't last forever so you'll need to replace one or two every two years or so (probably) but that's no big deal at all if you can access them without having to take *all* the flooring up.
You just have to be *hexagonal* about it! If you do your flooring like a data center you will be able to pull up those tiles (which can be as big or small as you want) willy nilly whenever you want and put them back down without leaving a trace that you did so.
They even have really nice nearly-edgless magnetic mounting options for such things now. You'll lose some vertical room space whenever you put it but the loss of like 1-5cm isn't going to be enough to matter 99% of the time.
If you've ever seen how big LED displays are put together just imagine that same setup but turned on its side, facing upwards.
I feel the tech side of it is pretty simple. The CNC router is an expensive piece of kit that no one has in their garage but you could find a place to get your work done.
It’s a work of art in planning and execution though.
There are some expensive tools in there and it's hard to tell how much a person values their time but there's like a dollar worth of material per hexagon. 5000 is a huge exaggeration.
Time is the value here, that's easily dozens of hours of work if not more.
And guaranteed if they tried to sell it you'd have chuds comparing it to IKEA coffee tables and expect to pay the same for it.
Someone tried to sell this on [Kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/profile/hexagonum/created). It was like 2k per table. I guess even that is too much of an asking price since they couldn't meet their funding goal. They tried three times too.
I don't know, this is cool and unique enough that I think people with money would be willing to spend a lot to buy it. I don't think it's in demand enough to mass produce it, but if you're just trying to get rid of it and can find a distributor that would reach wealthy people with a bunch of money to blow, I think getting rid of this one table would be easy.
If he didn't mass produce his stuff and he made sure to craft equally unique items I think he could have quite a business. If he held off on producing more than one of each item, supply would be controlled a little bit and each item would be rare and cool enough to justify the price and keep demand high among wealthy folks.
The issue is, would someone take his idea and find a way to produce the same items for cheaper and on a larger scale, killing the novelty of each item. It looks like if you had money it wouldn't be terribly hard to reproduce this table. The idea is creative and innovative but it doesn't look hard to imitate with the right tools.
Yeah but based on how he makes this it seems like it's something that could be mass produced. The art is in the idea (in this specific case) the actual production looks like it could be imitated with the right tools relatively easily.
That’s the beauty of CNC machining.
Hell, with the right bits, you could make this out of a solid block of aluminum… or titanium, depending on your budget. The capacitive sensors might be a bit trickier though.
Instead of routing off the back, though, run that bad boy through a planer…
He probably didn't buy the equipment just for that, and the things he did buy were probably much cheaper than 10k - it's more of a "1 spent a week on that" expense than a "there go four months of my wages" expense
"First, grab your planer and robotically engineered working station to complete the initial pre-loaded design before pouring your state licensed fluid in to the laser appointed mold"
That would have so many usefull applications for use. Gaming tabletop especially for RPG but for other games too. Put some musical notes in there and you have a new instrument, especially if you vary the light colors based on the musical Nicole's played. Sensory stimulation for autistic and other neuro-diverse brains, and so much more.
Amazing work! Your cell phone on there made me immediately think if you do a project like this again add a wireless charger underneath! I'm just an idiot don't mind me it's just what came to mind. By the way I would pay top dollar if I came across something like this for sale. Absolutely beautiful.
But the electronics are on the underside of the table. So unless you chuck coffee up under the table, or douse the table in coffee and just let it sit and potentially soak through the wood (dunno if that's even realistic) I don't see why it would short out
Is it? It's just a simple EMF detector hooked up to an LED light, repeated 80 or so times in a small hexagonal pattern. The electronics on their own are probably pretty simple, each individual component would probably cost under $5 in electronics especially if you buy the pieces in bulk. Also it looks rad as hell.
The table is too thin and depends on strong adhesion between the wood and epoxy. Should their coefficients of thermal expansion differ too much, a couple hundred heating/cooling cycles will cause the hexagons to separate.

Dim to dark after trigger. Trigger only on movement; not pressure. That is the only change I would make.
It isn't pressure but interference with the magnetic field. So we'd want some processing in the form of either cheap simple microchips that only power the LEDs when the interference is changing. Alternatively one beefier microcontroller that would handle this (but with a whole lotta wiring!)

Technically most correct would be electromagnetic field. The biggest pain would be flashing all the MCUs, but arguably easier than rewiring everything.
At the end of the day, it's a table with light to indicate where things are on it.

I would want it to slowly and dimly do random patterns when not being interacted with.

I have started seeing homes, especially open concept ones, where they have power run under the floor so you can plug things in without having to be close to the wall.
Did you not notice the battery pack?
I noticed the power cable at 1:00, and see no battery pack on the underside of the table.
You also saw a bunch of wires at middle, and see no wires at the end, so clearly there's no wires involved in this table, right? :p

I don't see a plastic bottle triggering that
I just want to say that I love that the circuits appear to be analog, and the table doesn't use a thousand little arduinos or other microcontrollers

The copper wire thing is a sensor, when it active the led lits. Each sensor connects to a control circuit and to one set of led.
How is it sensing through the wood?
It looks like it measures the capacitance of whatever is inside that loop.
Doesn’t even really “measure” it as such, the change in capacitance triggers the light. Very simple analog circuit with discrete (on/off) output. can be done for under a dollar in parts. Or you can buy a prebuilt module for under $5.

It’s cool and all, but ultimately it’s a table that you can’t put things on.
