X-Seijin Controller was played by actor Yoshio Tsuchiya in the 1965 Japanese Godzilla film titled "Kaijū Daisensō," but known in the U.S. as "Invasion of Astro-Monster."
Yoshio Tsuchiya passed away on February 8, 2017. The family had kept his passing private for several months until officially announcing it to the public in early September 2017. He was in many Godzilla films, Matango, Mysterians, Seven Samurai and much more.
Model of one of the largest crawler draglines in the world in scale 1:28.5.
All functions motorized using three SBricks and Power Functions motors:
- Hoist gear: 1 XL motor
- Drag gear: 1 XL motor
- Swing drive: 2 L motors
- Boom hoist: 1 M motor
- Left crawler track: 1 XL motor
- Right crawler track: 1 XL motor
- Two access ladders: 2 9V micro motors
Power is provided by each a Power Functions rechargeable battery box in the lower carriage and in the upper structure.
Besides the motorized functions, there are four floodlights and another four interior lights, using four pairs of Power Functions LEDs.
Access to the machinery house for the service personnel is given by two doors on each side. The operator's cab is accessible through another door.
Five removable panels, one on each side, one on the back and two on the roof give access to the hoist and drag motors, the boom luffing winch and the two swing motors respectively.
The real dragline was in service in Australia in the Rix's Creek Mine in the Hunter Valley.
My strobe controller project finally got soldered up in a nice project case. In short, it's a programmable strobe controller for high-speed photography. You can load it with simple scripts to (usually) wait for a certain input condition, and then switch the outputs with very precise timing.
One particularly elaborate example: Have it trigger an electronic water valve for a few milliseconds, just long enough to let one drop of water through. Wait until it sees a drop fall through a photogate, and then open the shutter on the camera. Wait until the contact mic under a bowl is triggered by the drop impacting on the bowl, fire the flash, wait a few milliseconds, and then close the shutter on the camera. Perfect water drop pictures every time.
I bought a Koala protoboard, a matching case, and a compatible LiPoly battery from Sparkfun, plus a whole bunch of 3.5mm headphone jacks and some other odds and ends from JB Saunders, and soldered it up last weekend.
The board is pretty cool- it comes with USB-serial (an FTDI FT232R, regulated 3.3V and 5V from battery or USB, and battery charging from USB. The battery is tucked under the board.
Everything is wired into a TI EZ430-RF2500 target board (I really only wanted the MSP430-F2274 micro on it; the wireless is going to waste at the moment). It communicates with a desktop app I've written in C#, where you can see and control its status in real-time, write scripts, and send them to the device. I've created a simple little scripting language (and corresponding bytecode language) so the device can do interesting and precisely-timed things with its outputs (the five jacks on bottom) in reaction to stuff happening on its inputs (the button and the two other jacks). It needs some polish still, but it really works quite well.
I'll do a proper writeup on my website when I'm closer to being truly done.

This is part of an old Westinghouse hydraulic elevator controller. Layered on top is a partial page, one of about 30 pages, that is the wiring diagram. It's a obsolete nightmare that we have to keep running. Just part of the job.
I'd like to think she was controlling that window display from her phone, as part of an unannounced Eno light installation. But perhaps not.
Strobist: One 430exii Speedlite fired from the above right at 1/64 and zoomed to 105mm.
Flash was pointed directly at subject with a stofen, flash was triggered usuing Yongnuo RF-603 triggers.

I was in 2 minds whether to post this image as the camera had picked up a lot more dust than I thought was visible. However I liked the image, its a well used item and very unlikely I will ever recreate it as it was really just for practise.
The subject is lit with 2 speedlights in soft boxes placed at aprroxiamate right angles.
I selected the controller in phtootshop and added a textured background.
Reused from a previous cake. Based on a Pololu A-Star 32U4 Arduino/Genuino-compatible microcontroller. Power comes from 4 AA cells. A flying lead with a JST-ST connector connected to the Neopixels.
The presets provide a way to adjust parameters after installation — always handy. In this cake there was only one adjustable parameter, which was the pulsing rate for Finn’s lightsaber.
The quarter-inch jack socket is for a foot switch, so that the lights can be muted when birthday boy or girl blows out the candles.
A shot of all the PlayStation Controllers so far. Top Row (L-R): PS1's Controller, PS1's Analog Controller, PS1's Dual Shock Analog Controller, and the PS2's Dual Shock 2. Bottom Row (L-R): PS3 Sixaxis, PS3 Dual Shock 3, and the PS4 Dual Shock 4.
I used a black mouse mat as background and the my computer monitor as a "softbox".
I opened up a new empty folder in Explorer and changed the windows size, shape and placement to get the catchlights just where I wanted them.

It appears that the sky above Peter's Island, located in the Grand Passage between Brier Island and Long Island, experiences a lot more traffic than traffic in the water.
