HoloMat 2! Hardware + Code + 3D prints

Here is all the information you need to get started building Holomat 2!
You guys requested I use a specific projector and setup so I defined it and outlined it in the Build doc below!

Holomat2 is a work in progress. As we go everything will be posted here! The code and 3D files are almost done and will be updated here tonight!

Holomat 2 code will be uploaded shortly, if you are new and looking to get started coding, check out my Holomat 1 tutorial along with the code:

https://github.com/Concept-Bytes/Holomat

Update!

https://github.com/Concept-Bytes/HoloMat2

Please let me know if you are having issues running this.

Note:

-Camera is removed for Holomat2 So App2 (Scanning) Will not work
-You will need exactly the projector from the build guide and the touch mat. Or you will need to modify the code to match the alignment.

In development still:

-Automatic alignment and calibration (I am almost done with this)

-Spotify app is a keyboard test. Both are in development

Thanks everyone and enjoy!
-Concept!

Where is control_board_b ack file ?

What do I need to do to get access to the setup with scan and everything? what is your latest most developed version of this?

Bodhi King

What developer board do i use. can i use a raspi?

Ripken

What control boards are compatible with this build?

Luis Nunez

There is an option to buy access to just the lodt for $5, just joined right now though not sure if this is the only post needed for this project.

Where is the control board back file

Like I mentioned in my comment, IR touch frames could be a good solution in terms of price. I'm European too, and in my country, the mat costs around €120. However, an IR touch frame, which essentially does the same thing, is priced at around €40-60. I'm not sure if the code would work with such a touch system, but it could be a nice, budget-friendly alternative.

If you're looking for a more affordable option in terms of size and price, you should consider IR (infrared) touch displays. They're slightly less accurate but significantly cheaper, typically ranging between $40 and $100 for touch sizes from 32" to 65". The only major difference is that you have a "large" square frame around the mat instead of a thin foil. However, if you integrate the mat into the desk, it should look more "aesthetic". In comparison, for the price of the mat in my country (120€ for a 32" touch foil), I could get a 75" IR touch frame. I'm planning to look into buying an IR frame in the next few months to test if it works. I'm not 100% sure yet, and I haven't checked the code, but if it's just used like any other touch surface, it should work fine.

Steepy

You don’t. But I got tons of complaints about not having it set for a specific projector. If you can modify a few lines of code you can use anything you want.

Kevin Coda

Do you really need to use a new projector? because the build price is going up. Projector isnt $69.99 here in The Netherlands, but $103.53. Touchpad isnt $65 here in The Netherlands, but $85.05. Someone from the Netherlands/ Europe with a alternative? (I have a 4k beamer hanging on the ceiling of my garage for holomat1)

Mark Brantjes

No

Jaron Wilson

Did you ever happen to figure it out? I to am having that problem and would appreciate if you knew how to fix it

Freely Porshe

Any update on the code, that's why I got the subscription, might cancel then come back in a couple months, as it takes a while to create good code.

Jaron Wilson

Where is the code?

Benett Schwartz

Yo! The HoloMat 2 is still a work-in progress. The code will hopefully be released within the near futurem, but stay tuned to the Patreon. It should come out sooner or later, and maybe you can expect a Jarvis integration video too ;) Stay tuned! πŸ˜„πŸ˜‚

Berle

So where is the code?

Matheus Monteiro

Hope you find it out, had no luck here

Matheus Monteiro

Does the holomat v2 still scan objects?

Jeremy Andersen

So what's up with that code?

masrad

I have the same issues. Im trying to make some time this weekend to figure it out. Once I figure it out I'll see if I can help alternatively if you suss it out Jimmy or if anyone know let me know please

Daniel Twynham

Any luck finding a different hardware vendor for the Matt that can get it delivered within 2 months?

Craig DuBose

Looking for a little help with the HoloMat; followed along and need some clarity. From Version 1 to what is live now on Github there seems to be some significant changes. I got the "Home Screen" coded and apps 1,3,4, and 6 (the other app were missing .mpy file on github) When I run it the Home Screen pops up off center to the right, no app icons or other apps. When I touch Home it stops. Any suggestions to move this along?
