“I’ve lived the literal meaning of the ‘land of the free’ and ‘home of the brave.’ It’s not corny for me. I feel it in my heart. I feel it in my chest. Even at a ball game, when someone talks during the anthem or doesn’t take off his hat, it pisses me off. I’m not one to be quiet about it, either.” - Chris Kyle
Over the summer of 2012, my English class assigned us to read some sort of nonfiction book, whether it be a autobiography, biography, whatever - anything nonfiction. We were given a list of recommended books, and the only one that caught my attention was an autobiography called American Sniper written by Navy SEAL Chris Kyle. I did a bit of research on the book and ended up purchasing it from Target. After I started to read it, I could not put it down. I ended up finishing the 380 page book in like 3 days, which was quick for me. I really enjoyed reading about Chris's lifestyle while he was a SEAL and I became attached to the story and Kyle became one of my personal heroes/role models.
Flash forward to February 2nd, 2013. I woke up, grabbed my phone, and began to browse the front page of reddit. Upon this, I just discovered the tragic news of Chris Kyle and another man being shot down at a gun range by a Marine who supposedly experienced a flashback from his PTSD. I was heartbroken that day.
A little over a year and a half later brings us to about September 2014. I had heard news of a possible American Sniper movie, but in October, the first trailer was released for it which got me very excited. Once the second trailer came out, I became extremely excited for the movie. That bring us to today. The movie is now out, and I am on my way to the theater as soon as I upload this photo.
So here he is, the Devil of Ramadi, Chris Kyle!
For this figure, I was mostly basing him off of Bradley Cooper's portrayal, but a little of Chris himself was included too, mostly in the head.
Chris has a standard desert camouflage pattern painted over most of him in a dark tan and brown scheme. His legs have boots painted on, as well as TinyTactical CP Knee Pads and Cargo Pockets glued on. He has a brown belt with silver buckle.
His vest was a blank TinyTactical RRV Tactical (molle front panel) vest, which I then glued on 3 AR mag pouches and a radio. With those, I glued on a TEA Push-To-Talk system and a tiny IR LED. On the back, I glued on a frag pouch and a hydration pack with the hose running to the front of the vest. On the molle panel, I painted on part of The Punisher's skull, which Chris's Navy SEAL team adopted as their own.
Both arms have the camouflage pattern painted on as well as shoulder pockets glues on, but the left arm has the Marc Lee remembrance patch painted on as well as a TT G-Shock watch.
His head was the same head I used for my Daryl Dixon, but I painted over the eyebrows and beard with brown paint. His hat is a standard LEGO cap painted dark tan and has a patch painted on.
I made two weapons for Chris.
-The first is a TinyTactial M4A1 with various accessories glued on (ESDR Optic, Laser Sight, Foregrip w/ laser, suppressor) then painted tan and washed with a brown. I was modeling this after the AR Cooper has in the trailer and poster, but I later realized he uses a MK18, not M4A1 :P
-The second is a mashup of a M24 and TAC338, two snipers used in the film. No third party vendor sells either of those models, so I made my own version using a BrickArms M21, TT M4A1 Mag, BA Bipod, BA HCSR Scope, and a suppressor from something else. I then painted it tan and washed it with brown, then painted the Dark tan pad on the stock and painted the front and back of the scope black. I also had to sculpt on a bolt.
Tell me what you all think!

TinyVIP IR LED - with clear plastic lens
Frag pouch
40mm pouch
Note: RRV Vest has been modified with top plate cut out and front panel sides have been tapered. Also the flap on the admin pouch was shaved to allow the frag and 40mm pouch to mount flush.
Phalenopsis in visible light and in infrared through a Hoya R72.
The lighting is the same in both cases:
2 x 500W halogen incandescent workshop lights
1 x 12 W 850nm IR LED array
1 x 16 W 850nm IR LED array
Both images were processed in PSP 2018. The visible image just had very basic brightening and sharpening, while the IR one went through the high structure filter in Nik Silver Efex, preceded and followed by burning to take out some haze in the background, then the usual cleaning, sharpening and brightening.
Shot through the Zuiko 35mm f/3.5 macro, a wonderful little lens. :-)
Low cost, diy macro setup for high magnification "studio" shots.
A friend built the electronic assembly and did the programming. The rail is an old CD-Rom with a stepper motor allowing around 0.15mm steps. A microcontroller (MC) controls the rail with the help of a (for this application oversized) stepper driver. The remote is used to program the number of photos as well as the step size between each shot. The camera is remote controlled by the MC, so once set up the whole stack is produced automated.
A second set of bellows below the rail helps to adjust the proper height of the subject, the other axes are arranged by simply moving the whole rail construction.
The flash diffusor produces relatively, but not completely, uniform light with the help of a Pringles roll (what else ;) milk box and some plastic cups. See the comments for details. I've enlarged the distance of the lens, diffusor and subject for the documentary shot above. For the actual shots, the insect is inside the cups.
The process is simple:
• Arrange the subject so the initial photo can be taken.
• Make settings to the camera (such as mirror lock up, 1s exposure, rear flash) and the flash.
• Programm the rail and the MC will start:
• Now the clever part! The MC triggers the camera with an IR-LED.
• The MC waits for 2s so the camera can move the mirror, wait, flash, close the mirror.
• The MC makes the appropriate numbers of steps.
• The MC waits for 0.5s to reduce shake.
• The next image is triggered
• And so on.
See the notes in the image for details and the comments for an example shot. Thanks for looking!

The black components are HEXFETs. One switches the rumble motors, and the other 2 switch IR LED - one FET has a voltage limited output for indoors, while the other bypasses it completely for outdoors.

Cleaning in PSP, then playing with the high structure filters in Nik Silver Efex.
The lid is raised showing the half-mirror ( 50% reflection 50% transmission ). The stereo base can be adjusted ( 5mm to 25mm ) by moving the 'right' camera on the bar. This set up allows stereo macro photos / movie clips. The rig can be hand held or mounted on a monopod or tripod. Different lenses can be added to the Nikon 1 V1 cameras for different amounts of magnification. The above arrangement shows Nikkor 30-110mm lens with a 16mm extension tube. For a typical situation with the subject about 80mm in front of the base part of the rig. The lenses would need to be set to 51mm focal length for focusing and an object 39.5mm wide would fill up the side to side of the sensor in the camera. The angle of view would be 11.0 degrees.
A later addition is an infra-red attachment ( one receiver to two wired IR led transmitters, powered by 5V battery ). The two transmitters are clipped onto the two cameras just over the IR sensors on the camera. A hand held Nikon remote unit ML-L3 is aimed at the receiver to trigger both cameras together. It is best for the cameras to be in manual focus mode to get a good sync.
A garage sale I was at today had another doll. So far, I have shot three doll heads that were all kind of rubbery and they all did the same thing, expand in a strange way, but not break up.
This doll was more brittle, so I filled the head with gelatin and put it in the refrigerator.
After the previous squash shot, I decided I was on a roll and set it up for destruction, even though the gelatin was not really fully set.
Too much delay, but I don't get a second try.
The mess set some new records, with about three cups of bright red gelatin spread out over my set-up and everything else within six feet.
The staring eyes, though, are pretty cool.
Cheers.
Added :
The set-up was even more violent than I thought. Next day I found the IR LED mount was broken off and the plywood base under the doll had broken at the joints. Some stuff.

I finally got around to making the adaptors required to my new STXL 6303 with
Self-Guiding Filter Wheel. So this is it's first light image. Also different
is the use of a Baader filter set. The actual CCD chip type, the 6303 is the same
in both the older then new camera. The new camera has better cooling, and has shown
to be able to maintain -35C at +34C ambient which is nice. Also the new camera
has a IR led to pre-flash the CCD for RBI mitigation, which was used on this
image.
Kind of happy with the camera, despite the fact that it is software limited to
a maximum of -35C for some rather dubious reasons, which SBIG refuses to remove
the lock in their downloadable firmware. There are a few other quirks with the
STXL but nothing major. The Filter Wheels with built in auto guider works very well,
and is easy to set up. The positive lock system on the wheel position seems to really work
well which keeps all the dust bunnies in the light images in perfect alignment with
the flats.

First try with a new set-up.
The trigger is a SD5600 (my favorite) and the source is a IR LED. It's a dead-reckoning trigger, no delay. When the debris hits the beam, the flash fires plus a fraction (unknown) of a microsecond.
I am using an IR source so the beam does not show up in the picture.
The target is a large green apple.
The pop was not that bad, but I still kept my distance.
More nerve wracking than usual.
Thanks Jasper.

Dangerously & Diabolically Unpredictable… hey… these Dudes are down right Dicey!
Darkla has again sent dudes from the future back to this simpler time on Earth, with a mission of total Earth domination. Rumors hint that they arrived by passing through some kind of stargate during the time of The Insurgency previously chronicled on MOCpages.
Tech Sargent T-Bone Babbuino - back from the Future, ever popular & recently promoted
He is no longer a Primitive Weapons Expert as he was in the DA1 2013 War, but he still carries a big 'stick'. Only now the 'stick' is a laser lance that delivers EM energy blasts from... NEON Green Stuff... synchronized and syncopated wavelengths capable of searing the head off an elephant! For protection he carries a shield made from a ‘Special Mushroom’ genetically altered by Darkla for its humungous size. Oh, he’s got a little dagger too!
Major Reggie Ridiculous - the squad’s fearless leader
He’s not a flyer like his brother Roger, ‘cuz he gets air sick. But, he can handle an electro-jettisoned flying fan capable of decapitating an elephant! Oh, and he always carries an IR LED torch to locate bodies in the dark!
Private ‘Spider’ Ramos - the squad’s 1-on-1 combat specialist
His attack begins by treating an unsuspecting victim to a bottle of Fascinations. Then when his victim’s fallen into a relaxing slumber, he lets his spiders out of the bag! And for big foes and game, like elephants, he employs his really, really big, NEON Green Stuff luminescent spider, yikes!
Captain Gunther ‘Guts’ N. Glory - the squad’s medic, a P.A., and comm expert
Even though he packs an axe, that can wack the head off an elephant, he has an engaging bedside manner. His state-of-the-art (from the future that is) communicator, the ‘All Seeing Eye’, is equipped with a NEON Green Stuff cloaking and powering device.
And last, but certainly NOT the least,
Lieutenant Sherman ‘Tank’ Legget - the squad’s hero extraordinaire
He finds his Darkla designed & genetically altered giant Honey Mushroom skinned shield useful in blocking the advances of any number of crazed combatants. His weapon of choice utilizes a mined and refined Absinite/NEON Green Stuff Salt Crystal and is capable of blasting the head off an elephant.
FYI:
The Honey Mushroom, Armillaria ostoyae, is the largest organism on earth!

Here's the circuit, reduced to a 44x55mm quarter-size protoboard from Adafruit. Still powered by AA cells, as I'm waiting on a lithium-polymer battery and some connectors. Still has a bunch of stray wires for the pot, button, solenoid, battery, etc. I'm waiting till' it's mounted in a camera body.
I added PWM control of the solenoid to save power by ~75% during long exposures, as well as a second transistor to handle flash sync. The change was made from the comparatively HUGE Arduino UNO to much more svelte Adafruit Trinket.
Tried to test shutter speeds the other day using an IR LED and receiver, but I reversed the power leads on the receiver by accident and fried it :<

The plastic horse I bought yesterday was too big to take a good picture, but here is a shot showing things warts and all.
The detector is on the left, the green glow is a cute little surface mount LED which show me when I am getting a good signal from the IR LED.
the IR LED is on the right.
The horse is filled with glowing goodness from the great life he led making some little kid happy.
Never mind the wires. Nothing to see there. Please move on.
Cheers.
In this case the minimum number of quail eggs required to put three in a row.
Haven't shot stuff using a pellet rifle in a long time. I ran out of target ideas with the marble cannon, so I took it apart.
And went back to the pellet set-up, plus I got to clean-up and use my workbench again.
Tried shooting a few things and they all looked like crap. After I was ready to give up, I remembered some very, very old quail eggs in the refrigerator. It is amazing how long eggs keep, these are over a half year old.
Not quite thousand year eggs, but on the path.
My pellet set-up worked perfectly for a test shot, then went totally to hell. I spent a few hours doing something that I should have done a long time ago and switched from my old laser to a new IR LED, to make the set-up less sensitive to vibration (micro-phonics). It still has strangeness, but it will have to do for now.
I have to keep reminding myself that good triggering is a process, not a destination :-)
I also tried out another kind of capacitor in my flash prototype. The first batch of caps had an internal shorting issue, but the new set (at least the first one) went for over one thousand flashes and still looks good. Maybe I will be able to make a flash with a built in power supply someday. I am still having problems with my flyback HV supply, it dies after a single flash, but at this point I am thinking about asking for help.
In my book, low voltage semiconductors and 20kV make a very shaky marriage.
Had a good bike ride today, we are having the overcast mornings and clearing afternoons of a normal June, so if I get out early I get a nice cool ride.
Cheers.
Short trail camera clip of an urban fox. Always take a trail camera with me when we visit the relations or off on holiday. To cut down on the bright IR spot I put some thin plastic over the IR lights, set the Bushnell IR LED control to medium and put any food about 1.5 - 2mt away. To view in HD just click on the HD in the bottom right when you open up the clip.

With this setup I was able to determine the schutter lag of a Canon Powershot S110 - equiped with the CHDK firmware update - but with its Flash disabled. The USB port of the camera is used as remote shutter release input (needs CHDK firmware).
First I used a piezo sensor to detect the "sound" of the shutter and dit the analyse with the soundcard of my PC and the freeware Audacity program. This worked O.K. but the sensor placement and signal to noise ratio was a little critical ...
With this setup I used an old ( vintage ) Telephone Pickup Coil. Even a small 150 mH inductor ( Conrad 434579-89 ) gives nice usable pulses. So the magnetic field of the shuttercoil is picked up by this sensor and its signal is amplified with a Mini Amplifier / Speaker ( RadioShack art. 2771008 ).
The required amplification is setup with its volume control knob. The audio output drives an IR diode via an 100 Ohm resistor to simulate the flash light impulse. The IR diode is shunted with a red LED in reverse direction, so the output can also be monitored visual. The IR led is beamed to the Phototransistor of my ArnoChrono setup.
To determine this kind of "shutter lag" also the freeware Audacity PC program can be used to analyse the audio signal produced by the voicecoil ...
Current Shutter Lag times are now between 120 and 130 msec. The real shutter lag is still a little bit longer because this methods just measures the beginning of the shutter and aperture settings magnetic field changes. The whole cycle has a duration of about 200 msec. Also I guess the shutter must be first closed to exit the live view mode before the real shutter cycle can start.
The camera respons time to the USB Remote input is now between 20 and 80 msec. I measured this time by turning the Assist Led ON with a suitable CHDK uBasic script command just before shooting. So the Assist Led beam stops the ArnoChrono by illuminating its Phototransistor.
I will test if this Assist Led can also be used instead of the on-camera Flash as master. If this respons time is stable enough, a simple delay before the slave Flash fires will do the job ...
Remark :
"set_led 9 1" does not work on my Canon S110 !
I discovered that "set_led 8 1" must be used to do the job.

I am messing around with another trigger set-up for triggering with no (nearly) delay. I am using an IR LED onto my stock SD5600 optoschmidt detector.
After a few false detours, I got it doing what I wanted (I hope) and tried testing out the thing with some Black Cats.
One again, too much light from the firecracker to get any kind of good photo, so I tried wrapping the firecracker into some wieners from an earlier shoot.
That worked better.
Still a lot of light from the Cat, but at least you can see pulverized wieners bits flying away.
Cheers.
An orange meets it's end. I am using the IR LED/photodetector to trigger.
No implicit delay, it is set by moving the target further or closer to the beam. At least it is easy to focus on the beam path with a little fixture I set up.
Lots of orange parts in the garage.
I used two flashes, one for the main light to the left, a second to the right for some fill.
Cheers.

This Honda FourTrax Utility All Terrain Vehicle belongs to the U.S. Air Force 21st Special Tactics Squadron. The desert camouflage Camelbak brand backpack slung on the handlebars holds a PRC-117F Tactical UHF/VHF/SATCOM radio. The only military modifications made to this commercial off the shelf ATV is the installation of an IR LED Lighting system in the front grill, a Hobbs meter to record engine hours, and camouflage paint. The IR LED Light allows operators to drive the ATV blacked out at night while wearing Night Vision Goggles. Aggressive preventive maintenance is performed at regular intervals based on the Hobbs meter readings. Camouflage paint is sprayed on as needed and is based on where the vehicle will be operating. The non-reflective haze gray color seen here has proven to blend in well in arid and desert environments.
There were several problems with this shot but it shows a few things so I'm posting it. First, the flash on the left failed, which I think I have figured out.
I decided to gamble and I lost.
Second the explosion broke out in an odd way, off to the upper right. I was triggering on the belly of Santa (you can see the PVC pipe off the the right that has the IR LED inside). The invisible beam shining on the sensor was interrupted only after Santa's face was gone.
My hand is in the before picture holding the RF remote for my camera. It is convinient to pass the antenna of the transmitter through the IR beam to test the flashes.
And why the golden giraffe in Santa's gift pot? It just looked stupid...
Cheers.

I have not posted for a while because I am having trouble with my set-up. back in the good old days of pellet work, I'd have trouble and I could figure it out quickly because loading and firing a pellet rifle takes about thirty seconds.
Nowadays, setting up a shot takes a lot longer and it took me quite a few hours to figure out I had a problem.
I am still not sure what's going wrong, but the symptom is that the flash fires the instant the firecracker goes off, not when the debris hits my detector.
So to help figure out whats going on I built up another IR debris detector. Shown here before it gets covered in goo.
The IR LED is hidden on the left arm, the SD5600 detector is on the right arm. All parts are covered with Lexan shields that I have to replace every few months because they get all pitted.
Both the SD5600 and the LED run on 9 volts. the LED is running a current of 100mA and the SD5600 is I don't remember.
These two arm are press fit mounted to a post that I can move further or closer to the target and the two arms are press fit into the tee so I can swing them up and down.
Basically I can put the invisible IR beam as close as I want to the target and the explosion causes debris to cross the beam, making the output of the SD5600 go from 9 volts to zero, which then triggers the flash.
I believe that I measured the delay and it's about 20 usec.
Enough technical gargoyle-isms.
Cheers.

These are the limit switches for the y-axis. Each one of them has four cable. Two are for the anode and cathode of the IR led the other two are for the phototransistor. We are using the OPB815WZ from Optek which features a NPN phototransistor where the collector and emitter is connected to the wire leads.

Ưu điểm về tính năng
Một trong những điều mà bạn không thể bỏ qua cho dòng sản phẩm Camera Wisenet LND-6010R/VAP này đó chính là những tính năng vượt trội của nó cực kỳ giúp ích cho việc quan sát, theo dõi tại thị trường Việt Nam.
Với khả năng theo dõi ngày và đêm cùng độ phân giải lên đến 2 Megapixel thì LND-6010R/VAP sẽ đảm bảo cho chất lượng video ghi hình lại cực kỳ rõ nét trong mọi hoàn cảnh dù ban ngày hay ban đêm.
Ngoài ra, một điều đặc biệt so với các dòng khác đó là nó mang lại khả năng chống ngược sáng ( không phải dòng camera quan sát nào cùng tầm giá cũng có chức năng này ) cực kì tốt. Việc lắp đặt camera này cho các dự án có phần ánh sáng hắt vào khá lớn sẽ hoàn toàn không ảnh hưởng đến chất lượng của hình ảnh thu được.
Cuối cùng với chuẩn nén hình ảnh WiseStream II do chính Hanwha Techwin nghiên cứu và sản xuất sẽ một phần nào mang lại hiệu quả ghi nhớ, không tốn dung lượng lưu trữ ở ổ cứng. Tức là với một dung lượng ổ cứng thông thường khoảng 500GB nếu lắp đặt camera LND-6010R/VAP này bạn sẽ có thể lưu dữ liệu trong tầm 20 ngày.
Giá thành rẻ
Đây chính là một trong những lợi thế của LND-6010R/VAP so với nhiều dòng camera quan sát khác cùng hỗ trợ độ phân giải 2 Megapixel ngày nay. Với giá thành được đánh giá khá rẻ cho một chất lượng ghi hình cao chất thì việc lựa chọn dòng sản phẩm này sẽ mang nhiều lợi thế cho các chủ đầu tư, đơn vị lắp đặt trên toàn quốc.
LND-6010R/VAP có được bán tại Việt Nam không?
LND-6010R/VAP là sản phẩm được sản xuất bởi Hanwha Techwin ( một tập đoàn lớn về công nghệ trên thế giới ) trước đó thì được phụ trách bởi Samsung Techwin. Nếu như kể từ 2017 về trước, dòng sản phẩm này được sản xuất chủ yếu tại Trung Quốc với đuôi mã CAP nhưng kể từ 2017 đến nay, LND-6010R/VAP đã có mặt tại Việt Nam bởi Hanwha Techwin đã cho xây dựng một nhà máy chuyên sản xuất các sản phẩm Camera Wisenet tại Bắc Ninh - Việt Nam.
Và như vậy, các sản phẩm Camera Samsung LND-6010R/VAP không chỉ được đổi tên là Wisenet mà còn có đặc điểm mới trong mã sản phẩm khi thêm đuôi VAP ở cuối. Vậy nên, hiện dòng sản phẩm này tại Việt Nam sẽ được như sau: Camera dome hồng ngoại LND-6010R/VAP 2 MP.
Nhà phân phối LND-6010R/VAP uy tín tại Việt Nam
Hiện LND-6010R/VAP đã có mặt tại Việt Nam và CameraDNGcorp ( Công ty TNHH Đầu Tư và Xây Dựng DNG ) chính là một trong những nhà phân phối dòng sản phẩm này tại miền Bắc nói riêng và toàn quốc nói chung.

project manager, Regina Kwon; a senior graphic designer, Katie Lee; a filmmaker, Ariel Efron; and Ian Curry, an interaction designer. Curry, who met Barton when he studied under him at NYU’s ITP, says, “The traditional calculus is that you have to do a lot of work that you don’t necessarily love in order to keep the lights on while you do bits and pieces of great stuff. Local Projects seems to be exempt from that somehow. To me, at least, pretty much everything they do is interesting.”
The firm’s first job came in July 2001, when Barton collaborated with graphic designer Nancy Nowacek to create Memory Maps, part of an exhibition about New York in the Smithsonian’s Folklife Festival. The two produced a fluorescent mesh structure meant to evoke a subway car, with huge maps of the city pinned inside. Participants could write stories on vellum and attach them to the map at the places where the events had occurred. More than 2,000 people added their tales, blanketing the city’s neighborhoods. “What we didn’t anticipate was that people would actually talk to each other through the exhibition,” says Barton. “I overheard someone saying, ‘Oh, you went to Midwood High School. I went there, but probably 30 years before you did.’ In a way, we made a very un-New York space: a safe place for visitors to just talk to each other. And that was a total revelation.”
That revelation, and Memory Maps itself, led to Barton’s 2002 commission for what is probably Local Projects’ best-known work: the StoryCorps booth, a mobile studio where anyone can record a narrative of personal history; the recording is then archived by the Library of Congress. The exterior is made up of a three-LCD-panel motion graphics loop, and speakers embedded in the walls allow passersby to hear a sampling of the stories.
The booths proved so popular that many commercial concerns wanted their own versions. When J. Walter Thompson ran a publicity campaign for JetBlue, the agency thought a story booth would fit the image of the airline as Everyman favorite. “We had lots of companies approach us, including car companies and tissue companies,” recalls Barton. But JetBlue “produced a huge stack of crazy-people letters that made us truly feel there were people who passionately wanted to share their JetBlue stories.” The booth, created with MESH Architectures and MASdesign, became the focal point of the campaign, recording customer stories around the country.
Turning viewers into contributors is a feat Local Projects has refined with an endlessly inventive use of technology. Last year, when the New-York Historical Society commissioned the firm to create three media pieces for its exhibition “New York Divided: Slavery and the Civil War,” Sterling Ely came up with a way to make visitors feel they were present at the black convention of 1834, during which attendees debated issues pertinent to their future. A film re-creation depicting African-American New Yorkers voting at the convention is paired with an infrared camera ringed by IR LEDs around its lens. By lifting a paddle lined with infrared-sensitive material, museum visitors can register their vote; the infrared light hits the raised paddles, and the light reflects directly back to the camera. “With a bit of additional hardware/software magic,” explains Ely, “we were able to turn that into a method for counting how many paddles were being held up, and display the votes onscreen in real time.”
This kind of participatory drama and technological wizardry emerges again in Local Projects’ work for a new carousel in downtown New York’s Battery Park. A collaboration with the architecture firm Weisz + Yoes, the SeaGlass merry-go-round, tentatively slated to open in 2009, will feature sea creatures whirling under an inverted nautilus made of “smart glass,” which dims when electronically charged. The center axis holds a 7,000-watt Xenon bulb and will rise as the ride begins; cutout images of underwater life will be projected inside the canopy. Riders, starting at the water’s surface, will be plunged into a virtual deep-sea voyage.
Even such a purely pleasurable invention incorporates Barton’s ideas of connection and the importance of place: The ocean theme refers to the fact that Battery Park once was home to the New York Aquarium. This kind of conceptual integrity exemplifies Barton’s concern for the way New York’s history, and its future, are expressed in the built environment.
Short trail camera clip of an urban fox. Always take a trail camera with me when we visit the relations or off on holiday. To cut down on the bright IR spot I put some thin plastic over the IR lights, set the Bushnell IR LED control to medium and put any food about 1.5 - 2mt away.

I also use one of our E1 Ground spikes to position the camera and have the ideal hight.

Back in 1907 a man named Henry Round was trying out different materials to make a point contact diode. he noticed that one material, Silicon Carbide, had areas that put out dim yellow or green light.
It was mostly forgotten.
The LED was re-discovered in Russia in 1927.
The IR LED was re-re-discovered at RCA in 1955.
The first visible (red) LED was made in 1962.
I owe a lot to LEDs as I have had great fun working with them on projects both practical and fun. I still have a few thousand from my Burning Man days.
It was amazing to me that Rounds original 1907 discovery was so ignored. He was the personal assistant to Marconi, so the talent was there.
Maybe Marconi was too wrapped up in radio advances to pay attention.
But still, at the time, there were four ways of making light, hot materials (incandescence and arc), flames, sparks and glow discharge.
This was radically different, cold light from a piece of mineral. It just seems like it should have gotten more attention.
Hindsight is 20/20 and all that.
Cheers.
Exploded view of my DIY ArnoCam.
Purpose :
This simple DIY project is a further development of my One-Pixel-Camera build in 2008. See this link for more details. The main purpose of this unit is to detect (fast) moving objects in the nature such as birds, moving wing of bees and butterflies, and sends an alert to a standard wireless Door Chime ( actually a Lidl Paget Trading Model 0986 ) to inform me that something has happen near the targer. If positioned at a certain distance from an target to accommodate the time equal or more than the shutterlag of a camera, maybe automatic picture taking from small birds and insect in flight may be a option ( wishful thinking ? ). Until now it has a simple alert function. An IR LED and some interface to initiate a firing cycle of most remote wired camera's ( 70 msec pulse ) is provided. The overal reaction time from movement to a fire signal at the output is about 2 msec. I used a classic phototransistor as detector because the response time of a Pyro detector is very slow. Later on, I will also do an experiment with a solarcell as detector because its sensor area is much bigger.
Concept and Construction :
This small project consist of 2 stacked ( cascaded ) 8 diopter loupe lenses with a diameter of 50 mm, to bring the focus at about 60 mm. Some electronics are build around a PIC 12F675 device with a low cost 433 Mhz TX radio module. All the parts are fitted in a standard 50 mm diameter plastic waterpipe. The wireless remote code for the doorbell is also implemented by software and generated by the PIC device. The camera housing is meant less or more to be weather proof. Ice, snow and condensation on the lens may be a problem so regular cleaning maybe necessary . Until now it has no accessible parts on its outside to avoid dust and humidity inside. Also there is no ON / OFF switch provided because this gadget draws only very little current ( 2 mA ) during operation, so it can run ca. 1000 hours or more than 40 days on one set of 4 X rechargable 2100 mA NiMh AA batteries.
To be continued ...
Over the weekend, I successfully programmed an MSP-430 to transmit the same IR signal that I captured from my Canon ST-E2 flash sync transmitter. Here's proof.
You can see how I've been using my camera as a sort of outboard memory for the oscilliscope. The scope is hooked up to the photosensor in my MAKE: strobe controller- it was the only sensor I had handy. The photosensor, in turn, is looking at the IR LED I soldered onto an MSP430. That MSP430 is plugged into an ez430 programmer, which is plugged into my computer.
Finally, when I point it at my flash, it flashes! I don't know why my camera only seemed to capture ghost images of the flash, though.
The I2C interface PCB is used to test 3 Adafruit modules on the Fischertechnique TXT Controller. External I2C modules can also be further connected via the FPGA connector output. There is a 3V3 power provided from the 9V of the TXT Controller. The modules also have an INT output line via fets that can be connected to the TXT Controller. The IR LED for the color sensor is also equipped with a connection for the TXT Controller.
Everything fits in a Fischertechnik box:

There was a fourth module, the FRAM, but there is an address issue with the TXT controller ( same internal address range $50-$57) so it could not be connected to it.

First attempt using an IR light...this picture was taken in basically total darkness, the only light was a small LED Infrared light. This light is not visible to the human eye, and not filtered by my camera...Taken for Macro Monday theme of reflections ...Now I need to reflect on what I can use this light for HMM!
The light is a 1 inch circle of 9 IR LEDs which are 850nm so you can see a slight red glow but only if you look at the bulbs.
An orange meets it's end. I am using the IR LED/photodetector to trigger.
No implicit delay, it is set by moving the target further or closer to the beam. At least it is easy to focus on the beam path with a little fixture I set up.
I though the previous orange was too expanded, so I put this one closer to the beam.
Lots of orange parts in the garage.
I used two flashes, one for the main light to the left, a second to the right for some fill.
Cheers.

IR detector for marble track.
This detector can be inserted anywhere on the existing marble track. It has the dimensions for the Fischertechnik blocks. The detector works with an IR led and a photodiode as receiver. The 3D print housing is made in such a way that it shields the ambient light as much as possible. If necessary, an extra cover can be mounted afterwards on top. It has 5 mounting possibilities for optimal environmental suppression. The resistance values are given for 5V. If 9V is desired, the values can be increased slightly. The current values will also work at 9V but the current is higher. I use my regular 3 pin connection: output, VCC, GND. Because there is a pullup resistor you have to take into account that the output voltage will have the same value as the installed VCC. Therefore, do not use 9V where the output should be 5V max!
