Infinity YouTube Play Button Subscriber Counter: Sometimes when people reach different milestones on YouTube, they create their own play button and Subscriber counter. So to accomplish both purposes, the Infinity Play Button! Infinity has a double meaning here because it has a subscriber counter and the play button mirror is also an infinite mirror.
For the infinity mirror used LED strip controller. Users are controlled by a counter display using an Arduino. I didn’t use the code here, but this video was created by the person who created the code. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bePgZIXHSkM

Step 1: Make the Layout
Create a layout for the play button and print it. For the subscriber counter, use the LED matrix display. For play button mirrors, this 5.5 round mirror is used.
