Hey! I take a look at the code, and go through the most important parts of the code.
As for the Blynk app itself, all i have is:
*1 dropdown to select mode (V1)
*2 RGB selectors for primary/secondary color (V2, V3)
*3 Sliders. 1 to select hue randomness, and two for the minimum and maximum fade time. (V4, V5, V6).
It has taken a while! Martina is studying her ass off to get her masters done by May, so I'm mostly working on my own these days, which is slowing the process down. Thanks for your continued supports guys, means so much! We will get back on track with uploads, and hopefully, for the first time in the history of Natural Nerd/Nerdforge, we will be able to uphold a regular schedule :)! In the meanwhile, enjoy this LED project if it's your cup of tea, if not, rest assured Martina will get her boo...

Hello, Patreon!
Happy new year to all of you! I hope you had a great holiday season, and that the beginning of the new year has treated you well this far.
I've gotten around to make something else than books (I know, there's been quite a few lately); a glowing triangular controller stand!
I hope you'll enjoy the video! Peace!

Hey everyone!
Finally another project video! Yes, it's another book. I'm really hooked on making these, but I can assure you that both Hansi and I have planned other kinds of projects as well!
Here I'm making the Tome of Fire, which is the first part of a 4 part elementalist series. Also, I apologize for my unstable voice, I caught a cold while making this project, hahah. Hope you enjoy the project and the video!
Peace!

Some of the music fell out in the start of the video, but that will be fixed once it goes public on Wednesday. Enjoy your early access!
Hello, Patreon!
Sorry that there was no early access on this video, the schedule has been really tight and it's been a bit too long since the previous video.
There's a lot going on nowadays. I am currently writing my master's thesis, and with the deadline in May drawing closer, so the stress level increases. Making projects is a nice break from it all, and I try to create and publish videos as often as I can, but the thesis has to be prioritized. Hansi is also working on a few proj...

Hello, everyone, and welcome to our new Patrons!
As a follow-up to the previous video (the leatherbound spellbook), I'm restoring an antique book press in this video. Now Martina can really begin to speed up the bookmaking process.
Let me know what you think of this project, peace!

Waddup, Patreon, Martina here!
I wanted to make the giant tome 2.0 with real leather and more traditional bookbinding techniques - and it was so much fun!
Let me know what you think of these types of bookbinding projects and this one in particular. Peace!

Hey, Patreon!
Here's another project video - bookends inspired by one of my favourite games, Portal!
I also wanted to update you guys on what's going on with us at the moment and what's coming up. We've had a lot on our plates the past couple of weeks, but rest assured, we're working on new projects. For those of you who follow us on Instagram (@thenerdforge) you might've seen that we just bought a van and we're planning to make a video series of us converting it into a ca...

Waddup, Patreon!
I've really been inspired by bookbinding lately, and for those of you who follow us on Instagram that's no surprise. I created this journal from upcycled secondhand leather boots, and I really wanted one of you guys to have it!

Hey guys! Wow, this project has been long in the making - sorry about the long wait. Remember when I asked you for guidance on the design for this project? Seems like ages ago! Now that my semester's finally over, I've been able to finish this project and the video as well.
I'd love to get some honest feedback on the project as well as the editing! :)

Hey guys! For a while I have wanted a light that can add some color to certain video shots, or photos! Some of these colored lights can be very expensive to buy manufactured, so I decided to 3D print and make my own light. Hope you like it, and thanks for your support! - Hansi

A couple of weeks (or months) ago I asked you to vote on one out of four design sketches that I'd made of a desktop fountain idea. Finally I got around to take the rough sketch that got the most votes and make a proper sketch out of it! I've gathered all the materials and everything needed, now I just have to hand in an essay (deadline next week) and then get started on this project. Super stoked about it! - Martina

Hey, Patreon! I managed to finish my next project today, so I'll be editing this week trying to finish the video as soon as I can. Really loved doing this project, and I'm so stoked about the outcome! Also, the tome is super heavy, just as I wanted it to be - it feels really epic! Might do another bookbinding project in the future.

Sorry for no early access this week. I was kinda running low on time, as the last video came out almost a month ago. We're trying to be ahead of schedule, but not this time. Anyway, hope you enjoy the new project :)

Hello! I'm finally back with another project soon. This time we'll drive straight into RGB world and make an RGB mouse pad. By the way, there's a pretty big change to our channel coming, and I thought I'd give you guys a little heads up. We are changing the channel name. To be short: we were never happy with the name Natural Nerd. It was made before we decided to make YouTube videos, and we somehow just stuck with it. It doesn't really roll well on the tongue, and its intent is misunderstood oft...
2018-02-14 16:23:00 +0000 UTC View PostHey Patreon, Martina here, coming with an update on what's going on nowadays and the future of the channel.
As you might have noticed, we haven't posted a video in about a month now. One of the reasons for that is that both Hansi and I have started working part time jobs in addition to being full time students, which takes up most of our time.
We also noticed that at a point this autumn we got so caught up in making YouTube videos that we stopped prioritizing being with friends and maint...

It was about time for another Patreon Vlog! Giving a quick update on what we've been doing lately and future projects, got a new editing monitor and a new drone (which is super awesome!)!

Hope you're doing great, guys. Sorry for the recent Patreon spam. This is a more detailed look at the code used for the Wifi Quality Sensor. Is this relevant for some of you guys? If so I might continue making such videos when we use some specific code for a project.
Hope you are doing fine guys! So the last early access wont be released before another couple of weeks. This one will be released tomorrow or the day after. We are going away during christmas, so we're trying to be a little ahead of schedule. If you want the code walkthrough for this project, you can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHMfy60270g I will make a separate Patreon post about that later!

Disregard this post if 3D-printing is not your thing!
Recently I've been bitten by the 3D printer bug. I think using it really encourages innovation, and it will probably be a bigger part of our daily lives in the future. I think everyone should have the opportunity to experiment with one. Sadly, they are quite expensive, so most people don't want to invest. I wish I could give them away! Anyway, today I asked our provider for a higher discount rate that I could share with my Patrons, an...
