Long abandoned historic Tie Hacker Camp in the High Uintas. Tie hackers in this area were an important part of the building of the coast to coast railroad. Tie Hackers cut railroad ties from the lodge pole and other pine and fur trees in the Utinas and hauled them to the construction sights where the railroad was being built. Both the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific used ties harvested and shaped from this area.
Mobile hacking space van at Defcon 16. This looks like it could be a lot of fun. Too bad gas is so expensive.
Hack D100 shutter, driver test. Now the new FPGA module is operational, I can further tests the D100 shutter unit. After a few tries everything works as expected. I had to slow down the sequence motor at the end if not, he went too far overshoot. Here the shutter is full open in order to let through the backlight.
To control the shutter, there are three elements:
- the sequence motor
- magnet 1
- magnet 2
The shutter itself actually consists of two separate curtains. Nikon hereby regulates its exposures For me it is easier given the shutter just have to be open or close. The motor sequence must be completely done. I could not take the signals from the fine connector. The pitch is only 0.5mm. A new SMD connector I had not. However, there are two solder terminals which are closed when the first curtain is fully open. At that signal I stop the sequence motor. If you interrupt the magnet 1 then the rear curtain closes. Magnet 2 is not used.
The D100 shutter is intended for use with my background LED module.
Timings:
Delay start close shutter 3.5 msec
Delay shutter full closed 10 msec
Magnet resistance dc: 75 ohm
I hacked one of my notebooks that I have a stack off in my closet, and hacked it by taking off the cover and putting in the midori notebooks from IchibanKan
I couldn't find non-white rounded and the right size of elastic at my local Walmart.
No, we don't have a craft store :(
A hack of the MIT Media Lab.
A livingroom was installed on the underside of the sculpture attached to the MIT Media Lab (normally it looks like www.media.mit.edu/about/images/e15.jpg ).
From 8-10 May, 2015, Waag Society and The Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision hosted the first of six Europeana Space hackathons. This was the main objective: come up with appealing ideas and applications to bring the rich archive of digitized European cultural heritage to the public.
The Europeana Space Project seeks prove that digitized cultural heritage material can be used in creative ways, and new business and sustainability models can be developed around these innovations.
D100 hack shutter.
The sliding contacts indicates the correct position of the sequnce motor. The connections are in the counterpart. This is the secret of how the sequencer works. For the shutter I do not need all positions.
Here's a simple hack if you need a little extra protection from the elements for your iPhone, say, while biking, hiking or running – anytime you might get caught in the rain. In addition to whatever your favorite approach might be (I assume you're doing *something* to keep it dry), a 3 x 5 zip lock bag is the precise shape for the iPhone. I wouldn't trust the 2 mil kind for much more than keeping it sweat-free, but I think the 4 mil ones could withstand riding thru a lot of rain. Bonus hack: I have some bags the size of my Macbook Air, as well. (Note: I discovered, while writing this, that "zip lock" is not the same as ziploc. The later is a brand, the former is a means of opening and closing bags. I also discovered that ziploc bags are sold by volume, not shape, so you'll have to google "3 x 5 zip lock bag to find a source")
A sophisticated proof press that incorporated precision enginering to approximate actual press conditions. The Hacker company sold to Vandercook & Sons in 1937 and this model was discontinued. There is some discussion that Hacker was making a better proof press than Vandercook was but these cost more, so coupled with the Depression, Hacker had to sell out. Scanned from a print made direct from the original 8x10 Hacker negative in our collection.
