Please keep doing videos with the explanation of the code, I'm trying to learn and that helps a LOT.
Thank you for another great video

[joeboyc]

I'd love to see more explanation videos, it really helps me to understand exactly why and what something is in the code, keep up the great work, looking forward to see what comes out in the future

As a long-time programmer, I still appreciate learning your thought processes around why you coded something in a certain way (as opposed to some other way). Keep your videos coming and I also REALLY appreciate when you include reference materials (annotated) like in your "Best pins to use for ESP8266" video. I started downloading those so that I can find them faster during my projects!

Please, please, please continue to explain hardware too! It's one thing if I have to tinker-around with code to get it the way I want, but knowing when I'm supposed to solder-on some kind of resistor or something like that is not the kind of thing I have the background to know without some guidance.

Thank you, you helped me finish my prototype in no time, a great explanation from basic to necessary to get things done. Great work on your videos.

I like the code walk through, I have a rough time learning by just weeding through code. Thanks for the video.

Can't wait for the expansion on the holiday lights. Ben's videos were great, but we needed more real life examples to help hook up our lights and get them to work. Keep it up!

I have tinkered with Arduino a little, but I will be honest, the addressable LEDs have been a bit beyond my comfort level. I loved how you stopped to explain how the LEDs work, and the differences between the strip LEDs and the individually addressable LEDs. Keep it up! Awesome stuff. Thanks!

[achmed]

funny, i just bought myself some LED strips to tacle this and here you come and making a video about it ^^

[adamlane]

This video and the ease of finding it is proof that we didn't screw up *everything* about the internet. I am so thankful that you do what you do. You're making the world a better place.

[StefanLudwig]

I am really looking forward to any new video you make. Thank you very much for making them. Also congrats to the 10k subscribers! :-)

[cambodiafireworkscompany]

Thanks for making these videos. I have wanted to do addressable lights on my house for years and it all seemed so overwhelming until now.

[WitherandFronst]

You're the best instructor in this space. Thank you for the tireless work.

[garyseaman]

Your'e a good teacher mate. I've never forgotten my maths teacher from uni. She made everything id found too much for my brain to why did i find this so hard. Thank you.

[RobertAnthonyPitera]

I have to agree with the other commenters that both aspects of your videos are extremely valuable. I came here not really that interested in doing the project, but I enjoy your vids so I watched it anyway. And in the end I came away with a much better understanding of programming functions, which was an unexpected bonus. Keep up the excellent work! (And more node red vids please!!!)

[CarlosOrtiz-htrn]

Thank you for this video! You are a great teacher and that countdown lighting you used in your classroom was ingenious! I am ordering the 5v led lights now and can't wait to start learning this. I hope in the future you will consider making a video of how to connect the 12v led lighting. You mentioned a voltage regulator would be needed, but I am unfamiliar with that. I'll start with baby steps and learn how to work with the 5v version. Thank you again very much Sir.

[paulbaird]

Your style of teaching is fantastic! This really helps me understand things a lot easier than most videos.

[samueletorres]

I love this video!!!!
Now, I can says that I truly understand how to work with addressable LEDs!!!
I like the way that you explain your code, that is simply awesome!!!

Is noted that you are a teacher (a really Good one)!!!!
I subscribed to your channel...
Again, the video is awesome and your way to explain it is even more!!! Thank you!!

[zachhoy]

Ahhh! You're a chemistry teacher. That explains why your explanations and pacing are really effective. My high school chemistry teacher was so good that I choose Chemical Engineering as a major! I hope your students appreciate the efforts you make.

[rusticagenerica]

This video is one of the very best videos I have ever seen on the internet. Don't change anything. The way you describe stuff is perfect. Keep doing more and tell if you need money or any type of contribution :-)

[EdwinPWeston]

Thank you and yes, I like to see videos like this one, I finely understand the map() function I just started playing with Arduinos and it was the visual with the arrows that did it for me!
