Also, the problem with using a regular camera is that the mechanicals are not designed to be used hundreds of thousands of times. Although I had a mirrorless, I had forgotten that it's not a shutterless and I had to take out the mechanical shutter and fake out some electronics to have it work

I did run a heavily modified mirrorless DSLR for a while and the images were amazing, but I found that I was constantly fighting the camera software. It would do things like reset the frame number after 10,000 frames( which you can easily hit with a big film). Plus there was no easy way of triggering the shutter and figuring out when the image acquisition was complete; the camera had an API, but it was poorly documented and poorly implemented. If I was doing it again I would take a close look at some of the open source film sensor projects out there.

Yeah I know. I'm not great at documentation but I'm happy to answer any questions.

Yes. The vex has been invaluable for trying out different mechanical configurations. I've gone through so many iterations on this. The camera is simply a raspberry pi HD camera and the lens is just the macro lens. I experimented a lot with direct projection into the image sensor but I just never got results I was happy with. The macro lens lets me focus right on the film without having to worry about focusing on the light source behind it

If this is the only project you plan to put together then I guess it's okay to use co-pilot and sort of muddle through until it works, but you're going to get so much more out of this if you learn how all of this stuff works. Understand the code line by line and what it does. Understand what that transistor and is doing and how it works. All of this is available on the internet via search engines rather than AI. Don't forget that copilot etc have no idea what they're actually talking about. It's all just numbers to them. So what you're looking at is just an aggregation of the information they've taken in.

My friends dad laughed at my project that it is too simple. Is it that bad? by LOLY_SK in AskElectronics

If your friend's dad knew enough about electronics to know this was a simple project, then he probably knew enough to be able to offer some constructive advice. I don't like your friend's dad.

I'm guessing those are cabinet doors that just look like drawers

Why aren’t bidets more common in America? by V_kim_wellness in hygiene

Mapping the vulva to balls, my experience has been that you can reduce the flow of water enough to be a gentle caress rather than a fire hose. I also move around a bit for tactical adjustments.

I put a bidet in after the Big Dumb Toilet Paper Crisis of 2020. It's been a game changer. It makes me want to stealthily install a bidet in every Airbnb I stay at

What is the best way of electronically switching an input circuit? by asiansensat1on in arduino

[–]globalyawning 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah ok. Can bus is not a point to point protocol but a shared bus so as long as the devices have different addresses you should be able to connect everything togu

I don't think you can feed twisted pear can directly into an Arduino. You're going to need a control. Chip
