You will continue to change your mind about what you want to do. Even after you are knee deep in it. I just suggest do something you enjoy. Don't do something you don't enjoy. It may seem simple but it's super important. Then you won't be stuck several years in doing something you can't stand

Not necisarily. Sometimes (not all the time) protocals call for 1's to be "low" and 0's to be "high". Additionally, your scope can completely invert what it is showing on screen. If you want to invert it, hit the buttong for the channel that you want invert, and in the right hand menu there should be an option to invert it.

as gakken worldeye is not full dome so for eye with both side it would be nice to modify it and make projector both side

#

@rocky reef think having eye and eye lips in the gyro with a eye in the center

You can use google to convert units, btw.

Hey all

shell mason Jan 10, 2018, 4:30 PM

#

I think i have used 5% of google

#

Gakken World eye basically have projector inside

#

so think if you make your own globe with 2 projectors and raspberry pi

#

having camera inside it so it can detect who is watching

rocky reef Jan 10, 2018, 4:33 PM

#

oh great idea @shell mason

shell mason Jan 10, 2018, 4:35 PM

#

so if you have animated eye so the eye follows

#

@rocky reef should it be more minerva

rocky reef Jan 10, 2018, 4:40 PM

#

ha, yes!

@gusty wedge ah gotcha

gusty wedge Jan 10, 2018, 11:40 PM

#

@hard hollow It uses the CPU on the Raspberry (via Octoprint) to optimize the stepper functions, without hardware changes.

#

It gives it more torque, and makes them way silent. You don't listen the steppers anymore, only the fans 😃
