This is the human interface for the contraption. The backbone is an Arduino Mini Pro. It's connected to the camera unit via a 315mhz RF link and takes input from the user via five potentiometers and three pushbuttons

Taken for Ian Street's blog - summer photo fun - theme "Machine".
Good fun. Macro lens of course. I gelled the flash blue. Can you tell? Flash was fired with a wireless remote trigger, off to camera right to help pick up those specular highlights. Flash was set manually to 1/32 power.
Xilinx Spartan3E board from Digilent. This is the work horse of my electronics toolkit.
You can get your own here.
They also have some material on learning vhdl.
New ram chip (CY7C1480V33-200AXC) soldered in. Careful, this thing is more expensive than the 16032 was itself!
Pi anyone?
A HUGE thank you to @alliedelec who had promised to have the Pi here in Jan - it arrived last night, on time.
Nexys Video Artix-7 FPGA: Trainer Board for Multimedia Applications
The Nexys Video features several components that make it ideal for developing audio/video applications. The Artix®-7 XC7A200T FPGA is the most powerful chip from the Xilinx® Artix-7 family. A Mini DisplayPort source provides the board with a uni-directional, high-bandwidth, low-latency audio/video channel. Designed with high bandwidth external memories, three high-speed digital video ports, and a 24-bit audio codec, the Nexys Video is a potent platform for A/V development.

Hey guys, remember how I'm a computer geek?
Langen's cat knocked over some water on her laptop. I offered to grab the data off of her hard drive for her (which I successfully did). Then I peered more closely at her motherboard to see if I could see what exactly the problem was.
(I could)
PCB out of my Tom-Tom One. Really easy to get this apart. Photo of the other side is out of focus, will take it apart and get another one at some point!
I have thought about doing something with circuit boards many times in the past. But with the equipment limitations I never got around to trying it out. That changes with the new macro lens. It's definitely quit a bit of fun to play with, as I'm taking way more macro shots for macro week then I'm posting.
I particularly like the bokeh circles near the top of the image.
No editing on this photo. the light balance was just right (just an overhead daylight CFL), and the sharpness comes from the L glass.
