@haughty quiver . Great how doing these projects teaches us little tricks and tips that I was looking for, for a different project. Much appreciated

haughty quiver Jan 18, 2018, 10:11 PM

#

Oh terrific, so glad to hear that @onyx arrow

inner spade Jan 18, 2018, 10:13 PM

@haughty quiver Was belaboring backlighting a retro meter and now will be using some soft white sequins thanks to you! The perfect solution.

haughty quiver Jan 18, 2018, 10:13 PM

#

@quartz estuary camera switcher is a cigar box and arcade buttons with a Feather M0 Express doing HID USB keycodes

#

Ooh, I'd like to see that meter when you get it lit, @inner spade

#

I haven't done much LED lighting of translucent PLA @onyx arrow but I know @hard hollow and @rocky reef have

lavish patrol Jan 18, 2018, 10:16 PM

@inner spade Cool.

haughty quiver Jan 18, 2018, 10:16 PM

that's cool, and I finally realized the "Cedar Grove" lettering on one of your previous projects is your one mark!

inner spade Jan 18, 2018, 10:16 PM

Yeah, the name of my studio.

haughty quiver Jan 18, 2018, 10:17 PM

Things make more sense now.

#

I kept picturing Grover from the Muppet show doing CG graphics.

#

@forest pebble @clear matrix OK... ordered that web cam.

inner spade Jan 18, 2018, 10:18 PM

#

I'm okay with that, too!

haughty quiver Jan 18, 2018, 10:18 PM

#

clear matrix Jan 18, 2018, 10:19 PM

@odd stream Great! I hope it works out for you as well as it did for us. And I hope ours keeps working out as well as it did.

odd stream Jan 18, 2018, 10:29 PM

@clear matrix My next question is whether a neopixel ring will fit around the lens. I'll figure that out this weekend I expect. My goal is to use it on my linux workstation for my next Show&Tell appearance.

#

I have to get some cameras too

odd stream Jan 20, 2018, 7:19 PM

#

@shell mason I just got the C922x by Logitech. It seems really nice. I plugged it into my Ubuntu box, installed OBS, fired it up and it just worked.

forest pebble Jan 20, 2018, 7:56 PM

#

@odd stream that was my experience with it as well. I am very glad it's working for you :)

odd stream Jan 20, 2018, 7:57 PM

#

@shell mason Great quality picture. Mics seem good as well.

clear matrix Jan 20, 2018, 7:59 PM

#

@odd stream That's great!

odd stream Jan 20, 2018, 8:00 PM

#

@forest pebble Next payday (probably the mid-Feb one.. rent & all on the 1st) I'll order a couple more. And figure out a way to make one into an overhead cam on my workbench

#

Nice that it has a tripod mount.

clear matrix Jan 20, 2018, 8:03 PM

#

@odd stream Yeah that's how I had it hooked up to my Mac. @forest pebble found a 20$ scissor spring-arm thing, like some desk lamps have, with a tripod mount on it and it worked really well for moving around overhead.

odd stream Jan 20, 2018, 8:03 PM

#

I'm currently thinking about one of those arms. I've seen them used for mics as well.

clear matrix Jan 20, 2018, 8:04 PM

#

Yeah I think a lot of them are marketed for mics, but the webcams weigh almost nothing, so they work as well.

odd stream Jan 20, 2018, 8:08 PM

#

Price range is staggering 😃

#

The mounting-on-the-bench end is the biggest concern I think. Somethign solid that'll work in the constrats I have.

clear matrix Jan 20, 2018, 8:11 PM

#

The arm he got was impressively solid. There's a limit on how thick the table it is mounted to can be, and it didn't look super solid on first sight, but it ended up proving to be.

odd stream Jan 20, 2018, 8:12 PM

#

@clear matrix Getting an arm for my mic might be a thing as well (as mentioned, I have a Blue Yeti I'm not currently using) depending on how well the camera mics work.

#

@clear matrix Do you have a name/link?

clear matrix Jan 20, 2018, 8:13 PM

#

@odd stream Actual mic is almost always better. And yeah, give me a minute.

#

@odd stream It says specifically for that cam, but it's a standard tripod mount. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N77YBLU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

odd stream Jan 20, 2018, 8:18 PM

#

@clear matrix thanks. Amazon.ca has that as well. Prime, even.

clear matrix Jan 20, 2018, 8:18 PM

#

Nice!

#

Never can be sure whether it will.

odd stream Jan 20, 2018, 8:18 PM

#

Ya

#

Ordering one. Like the camera: get one, evaluate, get more if it works out.

clear matrix Jan 20, 2018, 8:21 PM

#

I had it in my head to dig up a broken lamp and repurpose it, but this was so much easier.

odd stream Jan 20, 2018, 8:22 PM

#

The tripod mount is pure win.

clear matrix Jan 20, 2018, 8:26 PM

#

Agreed.

odd stream Jan 20, 2018, 11:31 PM

#

@clear matrix Wow.. This camera makes my poorly lit office in the evening look like bright daylight. I'm impressed.

clear matrix Jan 21, 2018, 12:38 AM

#

@odd stream Yeah the lights were down for the presentation and it worked out really well.

odd stream Jan 22, 2018, 5:41 PM

#

I've been having great fun playing with my new camera, and now an overhead arm for it 😃 Next step is to get a couple more cameras (1 for desk, 1 for workbench, 1 overhead at workbench)

fallow fractal Jan 22, 2018, 6:51 PM

#

YAY. @odd stream

#

You should get a commision when I get mine. ;) Are they really only 78 bux for an HD cam?

odd stream Jan 22, 2018, 9:15 PM

#

$109 CDN... so $78 USD sounds about right

#

I'm poised to buy a couple more.

#

I was amazed by how well they handle sub-optimal lighting. I don't seem to have to worry about adding more lighting to my office. I might do something like @split gazelle did for her gopro (dimmable neopixel rin around the lens).

#

Once I have the additional cameras I want to play around with making some videos. My CPX shield PCBs should be here soon. That might be a good project to start with.

paper peak Jan 22, 2018, 9:38 PM

#

I got a C920 (previous model) at a local Staples for $70 a few months ago (and maybe had a coupon too)

odd stream Jan 23, 2018, 4:36 PM

#

Just ordered a second C922x to be an overhead at my bench

#

Might end up getting up a 3rd as a face-cam on the workbench... slow rolling it and learning as I go.

shell mason Jan 23, 2018, 4:39 PM

#

looks nice plan

odd stream Jan 23, 2018, 4:39 PM

#

Once that arrives, I need to figure out juggling multiple cameras.

shell mason Jan 23, 2018, 4:40 PM

#

I bet @rapid hornet could make a webcam what use Circuitpython

shell mason Jan 23, 2018, 5:05 PM

#

@odd stream think making camera yourself

odd stream Jan 23, 2018, 5:07 PM

#

@shell mason At just over $100 per camera, and they just work, and work incredibly well, I would rather just buy them and spend my time on other things. I have enough to do/learn around making use of them 😃

#

@shell mason Classic build/buy decision.

shell mason Jan 23, 2018, 5:10 PM

#

@odd stream I was thinking what if i make camera array and micarray to project what use raspberry pi

#

@odd stream have you check new RealSense cameras?

odd stream Jan 23, 2018, 5:25 PM

@odd stream what about Cold brew coffee?

odd stream Jan 24, 2018, 5:37 PM

@shell mason I already have cold brew equipment.

did you looked that #general-chat post?

odd stream Jan 24, 2018, 5:39 PM

#

@shell mason I saw the post elsewhere, but haven't read/watched yet. A computerized cold brewer might be interesting though. A computerized press system would be even moreso!

#

@shell mason I've been giving that idea some thought off & on.

#

@shell mason It'd be a good addition to my smarthome system.

shell mason Jan 24, 2018, 5:39 PM

odd stream Jan 24, 2018, 5:42 PM

#

It'd have to be grinder + boiler + putting it all together in a pot with a steep timer... maybe a motorized plunger and dispenser.. It would have to wait until a cup was placed under it.. and accomodate various sized cups.

shell mason Jan 24, 2018, 5:44 PM

#

@odd stream as if you have wearable device what connect to pod it give a good estimate of sleeping cycle

#

or bed

odd stream Jan 24, 2018, 5:52 PM

#

My system will know when people are awake and moving around. The goal is for it to observe and learn routines, then adapt to them. Making coffee at the right time would be part of that.

Schematic and Fritzing - see just above this post.
Two microcontrollers are connected together, TX to RX and RX to TX, to use their UARTS to talk to one another.
They are connected to different laptop computers.
1N4148 snubbers in series across Vcc/GND, reverse-biased, with the port pins (TX/RX) connected to their junctions.

QUESTION: Do I need to worry about backfeeding the power supply of one microcontroller, when the other is unplugged?
Thank you.

@fallow fractal I'll be using the overhead camera on Show & Tell quite a bit I think. It's so awkward trying to demo soemthing with a camera positioned to get your face.

fallow fractal Jan 25, 2018, 11:58 PM

#

@odd stream I've found both lighting and camera positioning to be quite a challenge. Bouncing light off white-painted walls helps some. Having multiple camera angles available would be quite nice.

I've noticed that in private video chat google hangouts that looking to the side to observe the other person as they speak directly to ones own self undermines the illusion of face to face conversation. Having the camera axial to the display is very helpful for the human factor, especially if looking for immediate feedback from the conversation partner.

One-way communication (one-to-many) probably doesn't suffer from this nearly as much.

odd stream Jan 26, 2018, 4:52 AM

@fallow fractal I've noticed that in 1-1 chats. The camera on my deck monitor is centered on the top and I will usually position the chat window directly below it. It does help. I'm still thinking about a third camera to use as a face cam at my bench.

You might be able to block off the bar section on your live camera display/monitor with a spare window (say to a terminal) to artificially simulate what everyone else sees of the cropped window. Maybe superimpose the bar itself with its correct content, somehow, by carefully resizing the various windows before showtime.

Amazon Prime is really amazing at times. Mike arm & mount ordered around noon yesterday. Arrives about 10 this morning. Now installed. Downside? I now have 2 arms between my stool & my toolrack. Maybe that's just useful motivation to get what I need before starting to work/record.
