I was just thinking that it's actually a neat little project! Maybe they shouldn't solder the batteries to the controller inside the nut but they have confidence I don't.
never seen a guest literally anywhere look for a nutcracker, open nuts and start eating them. hell, half the candy and shelled nuts at most peoples places are old af, i assume anyone living there is aware its a decorative bowl but fair ig
My husband's grandma would put out a bowl every year. We would go to town on all the nuts. If this camera would have been in there it would have definitely been crushed.
They get eaten at my holiday parties. Once everyone's tuckered out and we're watching a movie together before the last couple people take off people like to snack and they're right there.
Walnuts and pecans both go quick around these parts
I also can't imagine any group of people letting a bowl of candy get "old" 👀 like maybe if it's just one person who lives alone and never has guests but if more than one person has access to the bowl it'll be gone in just a few days
Yeah I don't understand why he didn't buy the chip separately and flash it himself, would have been much easier. He is clearly skilled, the soldering inside the shell around all of those batteries scared me.
my guess is he can solder, not program, granted i think that's actually the easier skill to learn since you just download the script but perhaps it's just not his thing
No so sure, ham radio folks and electronics hardware hobbiests dont really require programming but require some understanding of reading circuits and some basic electronics. IMO soldering is easier (and funner) than programming.
My dad has a 45 year old BS in EE and works as a low level programmer, has for 1000 fucking years. Embedded to server OSes to databases to oscilloscope biases to sound engines.
He swears left and right that circuitry is much harder and taxing than anything he has done in software. He has tried to talk me out of studying it. It’s among the most difficult degrees in existence.
No kidding. I'd accidentally touch one of the foil bags for sure.
Also! It's possible he just doesn't own a programmer so he needs the onboard one from the module.
I've legit done that before for esphome and tasmota devices before I got an external flasher. There were a bunch of devices that had a non esp8266 in them and I desoldered the chip off of one d1 mini and then sat there holding all the other ones to the pads flashing them. Lol I own a flasher now. But hoo boi that was a time.
To me this isn't a true DiWHY so much as a person with too much time on their hands. Typical diwhy material is easy but poor design decisions that feel targeted to outrage. Examples are endless. This feels like a "Can i fit a camera in a Walnut?" It's pointless for sure. That walnut is not so discreet that I don't think you could leave it in a bowl of nuts to discreetly spy on your house. Its an interesting challenge though especially because the dude had to combine a bunch of things in unique ways to accomplish it.
This is DIWhyNot material
DIWhyNut
DIDeezNutz
Ha Got Eeem
😎
Id search for that but im afraid itll be an NSFW hothouse....and i dont want that in my history
That was my first thought. Most of these DIwhy videos are stupid as hell. This was borderline genius and amazing to watch.
Lately I've been seeing on this sub ideas that are actually good ideas that look weird, Or, like this one, weird ideas that are well executed.
Maybe the sub is r/ATBGE. Awful taste, but great execution.
But walnuts are delicious
Agreed. This is pretty cool
Yeah it's nuts
r/angryupvote
Clearly OP doesn’t have any spying to do
I was just thinking that it's actually a neat little project! Maybe they shouldn't solder the batteries to the controller inside the nut but they have confidence I don't.
What they did to that IC Chip is monstrous. Look what they did to mah boy
DIWhyNut
Cameras in a nut shell
Turtle Power
Bless everyone in this thread
Camera Power!
Lmfaooooo
Take my r/angryupvote and get out xD
r/angryupvote
You could use that to pecan on people.
Until the police cashew doing it
You could take it to a lecture and fil macadamia with it.
Al keep that in mond.
Peanut
Pine nut
Haz Al nut been told about this yet?
All those professors will drive you nuts.
Well done
Be careful, if the people you've been spying on find out they're be really pistachio
…Pissed-at-you…
Nice 👍
Cracking comment
The whole thing is just nuts
this is actually pretty awesome, it takes a fair bit of skill to solder a working circuit together mid air... with SMD
i can also totally see this not going noticed in a bowl of walnuts on a counter
And then getting cracked when someone was hungry lol
never seen a guest literally anywhere look for a nutcracker, open nuts and start eating them. hell, half the candy and shelled nuts at most peoples places are old af, i assume anyone living there is aware its a decorative bowl but fair ig
You don't really need a nutcracker for walnuts , you can just take two and push them together in your palms and one will crack
My husband's grandma would put out a bowl every year. We would go to town on all the nuts. If this camera would have been in there it would have definitely been crushed.
They eat lutefisk too.
They get eaten at my holiday parties. Once everyone's tuckered out and we're watching a movie together before the last couple people take off people like to snack and they're right there.
Tell that to my sister in law. 🙄
You definitely don't know my family 😆

You're probably right, but that surprises me, usually people who can do SMD soldering and can remove components can do some level of programming.

I puckered up a bit when he drilled the tiny hole right between the batteries.
Psh, I always examine the walnuts in any room I enter.
The "when you wanna watch someone" nut ...
The "watch someone nut" nut
That's the joke I was subtly going for.
YOU CAN WATCH MEAT BEATERS NUT
There's no inappropriate spray foam, there's no ramen patching, this person clearly knows what they're doing... DIYes!
Not even hot glue
Not even a silicone mold to pour in molten aluminum?!
I was thinking this is some remarkably clean work compared to some of the stuff posted here.
Imagine saying "Do you have a usb c charger? I have to charge my walnut."
I would just assume the "walnut" was something like a Blackberry.
r/BrandNewSentence
A rare post that’s awesome but still belongs on this sub.
Agreed, but did you blow on your screen? I think I did twice. Don’t tell.
“Why do you have walnuts hanging from your bathroom ceilings?”
"Why do you keep a bowl of walnuts in the bathroom?"
It could be something in the bowl of potpourri
For recording all those nut shots...
This is not putting a camera in a walnut, this is building a camera in a walnut and it’s really impressive.
I thought so too. I admired that fine woodworking. But, squirrels...
Is that what squirrels do all day?
I think we all know why. Air BNB.
If the host wants to see me abusing myself... I'll let them go nuts
This belongs in r/nextfuckinglevel
He shorted out a battery with the tweezers!
I came to the comments to see if anyone else caught that. Thank you for your service. 🫡
It's actually pretty cool how the tweezers get red hot in a split second!
This is how you find the squirrel's stash
Risky game. This seems like how you lose your camera to a squirrel.
Finally the proper equipment for all squirrel spies.
If this doesn't end up with filming inside a squirrel's mouth, then what point?
that soldering is impressive
[deleted]
“….the Red Army fights off the invading Grey Army….(read on it nuts)
Well, that's a camera in a nutshell
🤣
I feel like soldering directly on top of a LiPo is a chemical fire waiting to happen but maybe I'm just misinformed 😅
If you are skilled and know what you're doing, it's fine.
So maybe it would be a disaster for you, but me and this are fine.
Also, it's 30mAh. Even if it releases all its energy at once, it's not that big of a deal.
Theres no way that 5.8ghz antenna isnt a disaster.
This is more like DiSPY
This took a high amount of technical skill to make, but is still stupid! Amazing!
What kind of pokeball is this?
Spying in a nutshell.
Spy on the squirrels.
Thats cool and all, until a squirrel takes it.
When the squirrel takes it the video begins!
Diwhy…not. It’s Fun to make stupid stuff. However I’m just a dude constantly making things.
This is a sweet hobby thingy I wish I knew enough about how to make this myself
They just showed you how!
Lol yeah but I'd want to understand what I was doing too.
This guy knows what he is doing for sure with those pogo pins lol.
They’re doing surgery on a grape!
This would be a great- hold up… i gotta check every walnut i see now to make sure im not being watched…
I'm just impressed with that tiny soldering
I guess when you’re a nut. Or you really want that FPV for squirrel “action”
That's nuts.
DIWhy? You know why.
DiWHY in a nutshell… literally
Security: “Do you have any cameras?”
This guy: “No, I have walnuts.”
Security: “Okay, proceed.”
—
Mystery solved.
Why nut?
Now you're scared of that apple that was on the floor
Had to flex on us all
Why? Spying on people, obviously?
Seriously, this is some Truman Show level spy tech. I actually really like it.
It makes me appreciate just how small technology has gotten.
That’s nuts
Yep, charging that contraption is definitely safe...
Great but what if the guy you're spying on wants a nut?
Wiring all those batteries together in parallel is a baaadddd idea. Specially if unbalanced and without a bms
The other walnuts will never suspect a thing..
Thats dumb as hell but also at the same time pretty impressive. Also whats the use for something like this? Spy camera in your nut bowl?
Sorry, that’s cool as hell
Shame on you op :D
Air BnB guests hate this one trick.
Nah this is pretty nuts
It may look like a walnut…
Shot on a walnut
That’s some Cold War work right there!
ngl it looks like they're making a bomb
I mean, I kinda like it! That's some impressive wire routing...
Wrong sub, this is fire
thats actually pretty cool
"What is this?"
Well sir, in a nutshell, it seems to be a surveillance device
A squirrel is going to find this and be very disappointed when they open it
I thought kurt was making a pokeball.
Good thing the lens is barely visible. Lol.
its giving the brain from spy kids
Coming to you LIVE from the pantry, rotting, forgotten.
:10
There’s absolutely no ventilation, right? That baby could over heat with those batteries stacked up around the edges like that, right?
But it looks like there’s a camera ina walnut
This is well executed and impressive.
I want one
I like how it fucking shorts at 57 seconds
This is nutz
Surveillance is nuts these days
I want one
To finally see what those pesky squirrels get up to
He spent so much time asking if he could fit a camera in a walnut and never considered whether he should fit a camera in a walnut.
That’s nuts dude
That's nuts.
Nut job.
Now give it legs.
I think this is brilliant, ngl
A brown USB-C insert and brown perforated sticker for the camera would elevate this
Someone get this to Chris Hansen stat
Isn't that from the first spy kids movie?
This is actually pretty cool and ingenious!
Nah, this is rad as fuck
Air bnbs aren’t creepy enough, thanks for this
I’m a camera in a walnut; I gotta film you the right way.
Pixels, please!
I think this video was created as a guise to teach people how to do other, similar things
Because: Wal nut?!
What were the pogo pins for?
WiFi antenna mounts to the top of the lid pogo pins connect the antenna. It must have an sd card slot otherwise he wouldn’t need to open it again
Obv not the first, so the question is why??
Thought this shit was a pokeball.
Finally a way to perv on squirrels
internet has ruined me, read the Li-Polymer Battery part as “pOlyMeR aH bAtTeRy”
So amazing!! sigh.
Did he forget to add a BMS to the batteries or did I just miss it?
Also, do not solder directly on the battery like he did.
“Why do you keep carefully placing a singular walnut on the table whenever I show up?”
Someone's audition for the CIA probably. Thats DIWhy they would do that.
I assume this is the same person who made the walnut earbuds?
For spying on squirrels
weird i usually do it the other way around
Skitzos are gonna be checking the nuts now

Camera in a walnut
Kinda really want a walnut case for my headphones now.
Honestly if I had all the fun tools these people have, I’d be doing the same shit
Imagine how pissed the squirrel is right now... 🤔
Talk about a photography nut.
Squirrel video voyeurism is not a victimless crime!
The Third Brain
They should make an earbud charging case out of one.
And when I eat your camera now what
Mr Bond, take this...
