here at the lonus Media Group optomechanics and medical mood lighting

00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:16,400
research facility we firmly believe in

3
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:19,720
pushing the boundaries of RGB technology

4
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:23,039
and today you'll witness the fruit of

5
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:26,599
literally several hours of planning

6
00:00:23,039 --> 00:00:27,920
Behold our allnew electromagnetic

7
00:00:26,599 --> 00:00:31,960
ergonomics device the Raba chair

8
00:00:39,160 --> 00:00:45,760
the be quiet! purebase 600 features a versatile design noise isolation and is

00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:50,680
optimized for different liquid radiator configurations learn more at the link

10
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:55,520
below have you ever been sitting there in the dark admiring your RGB computer

11
00:00:53,559 --> 00:01:03,399
and thought gee why doesn't my chair also have RGB

12
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:05,960
lighting well I was and I did so I sent

13
00:01:03,399 --> 00:01:12,200
an email off to cable mod and before I knew it a massive box of LED strips

14
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:18,000
arrived at the office I mean man I thought we were RGB crazy then those

15
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:21,119
guys were all like get on my

16
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:23,640
level anyway step one was to find a

17
00:01:21,119 --> 00:01:30,159
chair the one we chose for the job was the verar 350 we hoped its mesh backing

18
00:01:28,159 --> 00:01:35,520
would allow our lighting effects to shine through and the cool swoopy

19
00:01:33,079 --> 00:01:39,479
construction would give us tons of options for mounting our adhesive backed

20
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:45,719
RGB strips next we needed to pop open some

21
00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:51,079
packages and mock up how we thought the RGB strips might mount on the chair

22
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:57,079
using our preferred method of mechanical fastening generic zip ties we tried a

23
00:01:54,759 --> 00:02:03,240
few different configurations finally settling on this this process process

24
00:02:00,759 --> 00:02:07,439
helped us find the best routing for the strips around the chair without ruing

25
00:02:05,719 --> 00:02:13,640
the precious adhesive which we'll need later on and without getting a bunch of

26
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:15,200
extra wires cluttering up our build

27
00:02:13,640 --> 00:02:20,840
speaking of things we'll need later on though we hadn't quite figured out by

28
00:02:18,239 --> 00:02:27,640
this stage how we were going to power the lights so we tested the strips the

29
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:30,640
dirty Way by having an RGB tail hanging

30
00:02:27,640 --> 00:02:34,760
out and connecting them directly to a

31
00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:37,239
motherboard looks fantastic I mean man

32
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:43,400
could there be anything more beautiful on this Earth I don't think

33
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:46,080
so obviously though there are a few

34
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:51,800
suboptimal things about this method for example moving around is something

35
00:02:48,879 --> 00:02:55,560
that's nice to be able to do you don't want to risk tearing out your

36
00:02:53,200 --> 00:03:01,360
motherboard if you need to spin quickly and deal with a cat vomit situation and

37
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:07,319
being a able to put the side panel on your rig is an extra bonus so with those

38
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:12,680
things in mind we set to work cleaning up the chair extra attention and Care

39
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:17,799
was taken to be sure that the adhesive on the cable mod cables could hold onto

40
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:24,040
the chair while bending around its complex and seductive curves we used zip

41
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:28,159
ties to help out wherever possible but in some places even those wouldn't be

42
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:32,000
able to save us if the adhesive wasn't able to hold the strips on learning from

43
00:03:30,319 --> 00:03:37,360
the mistakes we made during the mockup phase we upgraded the lighting setup at

44
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:43,040
this stage to ensure that even where the sun don't shine our chair would we added

45
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:47,720
ass lighting with the only part of the chair left naked being the

46
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:53,159
headrest The Next Step was probably the most difficult we needed to achieve

47
00:03:50,319 --> 00:03:59,200
Wireless operation initially we were thinking we'd try making our own RGB

48
00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:01,599
controller with an Arduino so to control

49
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:07,319
each ch panel we connected mosfets to the pwm outputs allowing us to adjust

50
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:12,000
the brightness of red green and blue independently fun fact when the RGB

51
00:04:09,959 --> 00:04:17,919
strip was attached to our bench power supply we noticed that the power drawn

52
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:22,800
was heavily color dependent we knew that blue light has a higher energy than red

53
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:29,039
light but we were still surprised by how big the change in power was blue

54
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:31,479
consumed five times the power of red

55
00:04:29,039 --> 00:04:37,199
anyway what we were hoping to achieve with this was to use two arduinos one

56
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:42,240
connected to the ASUS or a sync port on the motherboard that then sends data

57
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:47,560
wirelessly to a second on the chair that sinks between the chair and the computer

58
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:52,479
unfortunately while this would have been possible using XPS our arduinos did not

59
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:57,720
have the wireless Shields and at this point we didn't have the time to spend

60
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:59,720
waiting on them to arrive maybe the RGB

61
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:02,960
chair will make an appearance with this upgrade at some point in the

62
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:09,880
future anyway we settled on cable mods

63
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:13,400
included solution for now this does waste some of the excellent work we did

64
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:19,639
on the Arduino but it makes it simpler to use more reliable and much easier for

65
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:24,759
our viewers at home to replicate so to power the strips we simply velcroed a

66
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:30,319
battery Bank to the bottom of our chair then adapted the included 12volt output

67
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:37,319
wires to work with our cable mod controller sure a 23,000 Milah battery

68
00:05:34,319 --> 00:05:40,000
Bank might seem slightly Overkill but

69
00:05:37,319 --> 00:05:46,560
come on man we're lonus Tech tips and with this sucker on here you'll get an

70
00:05:42,039 --> 00:05:49,960
estimated 50 hours of RGB chair fun in

71
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:54,120
between charges bringing us finally to

72
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:58,520
the oh oh crap we forgot our pre-flight

73
00:05:54,120 --> 00:06:00,280
check battery check connections check

74
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:06,960
Fat Beat check totally unnecessary check we are

75
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:24,620
good to go

76
00:06:40,199 --> 00:06:48,560
look at that I've got one right here we never we are never far from an iFixit

77
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:54,840
prot tool kit this thing is flipping awesome it includes the 64bit driver kit

78
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:59,960
which is held in place by freaking magnets I mean how cool is that it

79
00:06:56,879 --> 00:07:03,879
includes their prying tools their

80
00:06:59,960 --> 00:07:06,879
spudgers their uh ESD safe tweezers

81
00:07:03,879 --> 00:07:09,440
their ESD wrist trrap their uh suction

82
00:07:06,879 --> 00:07:14,840
cups for pulling screens off it includes pretty much everything you could

83
00:07:10,879 --> 00:07:17,599
possibly need to take apart and repair

84
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:21,280
your electronics because damn it you paid for that stuff you should be

85
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:27,080
allowed to fix it and they've got tons of great guides on the ifixit.com

86
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:28,800
website that will help you save money

87
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:32,319
you can usually and this is from my personal experience

88
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:36,720
buy the tools that you would need from my fix it in place of paying someone

89
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:42,280
else to do it one time and then you have everything you need forever so head over

90
00:07:38,919 --> 00:07:44,440
to ifixit.com Linus and use code Linus

91
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:50,080
at the checkout to save five bucks on your next tool purchase of $10 or

92
00:07:47,639 --> 00:07:55,039
more so thanks for watching guys if you dislike this video then quit being a
