Barometric sensor, Shrimp, FTDI, RGB LED strip, resistors, NPNs, separate temp sensor & a lorra wire! Coding next and then if it works, transfer to perfboard, lots of soldering, testing and only if it all still works it'll be transferred to skirt = *phew*!
BEFORE sensor cleaning by www.chipclean.nl
I tried to clean it once myself (with SensorSwaps) but there was always new dust visible after "cleaning".
One of the joys of a small sensor is the great depth of field. Even accounting for the fact that I was shooting whilst walking, most things here are in focus at f/5.0, from the plinths inside the shop window which were only a few feet away, to the buildings on the other side of the street. Combined with the Ricoh's manual focus mode - which works pretty well although I'd really like a zone-focus mode along the lines of the old Olympus Trip 35 and XA2 - it makes for quick and easy shooting of stuff like this.
There's something strangely Parisian about this couple. I wonder if they were.

En un futuro próximo es posible que las computadoras personales, además de un ratón y un teclado, incorporen algo que hasta ahora sólo estaba empezando a usarse en consolas de videojuegos: los sensores de movimiento.
Microsoft lanzó recientemente al mercado una nueva versión de Kinect , un sistema de reconocimiento de movimientos y voz para trabajar con el programa Windows en PCs. Si bien por el momento sólo lo utilizan algunos programadores en determinadas áreas, las posibilidades infinitas de este tipo de tecnologías hace que algunos especulen sobre un futuro donde sean los usuarios comunes los que utilicen este nuevo sistema.

Sensores de poluição do ar estão ajudando membros da comunidade em Portland, Oregon a combater os elevados níveis de poluição do ar. Seus esforços estão resultando em acordos com fábricas locais para reduzir as emissões na área.
d'oh! I bought a pack of sensor swabs, but realized that I hadn't actually purchased the cleaning solution. crap!
so I drove to the local camera store to see if they carried any sensor-cleaning stuff, but no dice. The pansy there just went on about how you shouldn't clean your own sensor… I know the inherent dangers, thanks. and no, I don't want to pay you $50 to clean it for me.
sigh. so I have to wait another week (Amazon is my savior) to get this thing all squeaky-clean. but it's still loads better than it was!

This is a slight mod to the rig used by Starlight-Xpress. In this case the Camera is attached to a 2" nosepiece (or any M48 fitting) and placed in the Star diagonal. Placing the camera vertical allows the diagonal adjustment screw to take out all the slack so the camera can be rotated smoothly without any lateral movement. The laser pointer position is adjusted to maximise the parallax angle to the reflected return beam; this comes back past the laser and onto a wall (or other flat surface). The brightest spot should be, if the ccd has AR glass, the return beam from the sensor cover glass.
Rotate the camera in the diagonal and the reflected beam will describe a circle on the wall. Now adjust the camera collimation screws to remove any movement; I turned the camera till the one set of the camera adjustment screws was in line with the laser and furthest away from the wall. Adjustment depended on whether the laser spot needed to go up or down. If the spot was too high then the back of the camera needs to be raised slightly and vice versa if too low.
I used a weak laser beam of less than 5 milliWatt @ 532nm (green) to eliminate any chance of burning out any pixels on the sensor.
Note that this is the routine I used to adjust the sensor on my ASI2600MC and it should work on any camera but... you follow this description at your own risk.
