Aviation Reincarnation

Parts? What parts? Parts for what? ...

Well, for this little scrapheap of a thing:

Something to practice with. Why? It has been so long since since anything has been in the air, would be a shame to recklessly crash something bigger.

After CHDK Hacking

The features a there, just a few bugs left.

And that means it's time to stop working on the camera and start using & abusing it. That and to make some other cool stuff which will combine in to even cooler stuff.

Keep Alive Ping

Not dead, just busy!

Live Picture in a Picture

Some more sorcery, colors are now converted correctly and with some group efforts, the screen is now continuously pulled and dumped trough a pipe in to VLC player for live preview.

Night as Canvas

Light painting with CHDK. Title: Logic of the XOR Gate.

Starry Sky

Night photography with CHDK. Orion with the glow of a distant city in the background. Turns out that even in 30 seconds stars themselves move across the sky enough to blur the picture.

Fun With Protocols

Playing with the CHDK, pulling preview screen frame buffer trough USB cable with ptp and saving it as a picture (using python and openCV).

The colors are off since the camera uses YUV and the pictures are RGB. Conversion needed, but the process works.
