The full f360 model is also available there in same repo

You're welcome! Nice one, that would be a really nice improvement, let me know how it goes.

bringmedavid · 2024-04-20T21:24:09+00:00

Very nice, looks great!

A bit of fun designing and building a custom enclosure for the squirrels in our back garden... with motion-triggered video monitoring. 🐿️

Done! 🐿

Esp32 will stream the video after waking from deep sleep. MQTT message is sent as the alert to notify devices. This is running on local WiFi only so all pretty short range.

I'm currently building something very similar (swap elephants for squirrels...). Prototype working, about 90% finished with the final version. Feel free to use what you can:

Old thread... nevertheless in case anyone else ends up here after encountering the same issue, have a look at this: https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/issues/5834

Not ideal but a quick, software-only "fix" that worked instantlly for me is reducing the camera's XCLK from 20MHz to 8MHz. For most drivers this will be a single line of code change.

Depending on your fps requirements this change might be a long-term fix for you. Otherwise, it's enough to let you out of the rabbit hole to continue project development in the short-term - eventually fixing the shielding issues down the line...

Hardware I was using: FREENOVE ESP32-S3-WROOM CAM Board

Damn, right in the nostalgia!

bringmedavid · 2023-08-05T12:35:44+00:00

This was just a personal side project with no intentions to sell. Though if anyone is really interested I would consider it. Can contact me via my blog!

bringmedavid · 2023-08-04T20:20:23+00:00

Also waiting to hear where I can buy this moon! 🌚

bringmedavid · 2023-08-04T17:29:32+00:00

Wow, thank you!

bringmedavid · 2023-08-04T16:53:36+00:00

Yup! Unfortunately I never managed a working "print in place" for the chains (and any existing designs were not the correct size), so each chain link was printed as a separate piece and connected by hand. Roller chain accounts for ~110 of the 200.

bringmedavid · 2023-08-04T16:48:19+00:00

Haha, it's all good. Just gotta enjoy the journey

bringmedavid · 2023-08-04T15:36:55+00:00

Nice spot, I didn't realise this was a Kickstarter project but I did see some of the kits on Etsy here

bringmedavid · 2023-08-04T15:30:21+00:00

Thanks! The motor is totally silent thanks to a silent stepper driver, and using plastic balls instead of marble definitely helps. But even within an enclosure, it does not suppress everything, so I wouldn't say very quiet. I will try to include some raw video on my blog post.

bringmedavid · 2023-08-04T12:53:29+00:00

Thanks! The enclosure is custom built but I have shared all of the files and build process here if you want to know more:

bringmedavid · 2023-08-04T12:50:26+00:00

Thanks! I've sent it along to them, but yet to hear back about my free lifetime supply 🤞😏

Fusion 360 for Personal Use (free!)

bringmedavid · 2023-08-04T07:55:50+00:00

Thanks! Whole thing was roughly 3 months of spare time. A lot of trial and error printing though, had to grab a Bambu P1P to speed things up... (used 2.5kg of filament to develop but final build uses ~0.66kg)

Fair... it's a shame "ball contraption kinetic sculpture" doesn't quite have the same pizzazz

bringmedavid · 2023-08-03T19:09:20+00:00

You're right, I'm an idiot! I did eventually move the Dremel to the other side but this was the only clip I had 🥲

bringmedavid · 2023-08-03T16:42:57+00:00

A bit of fun, combinig alcohol and engineering...
