This instructable will show you how to construct a laser tripwire that can twitter and grab an image from a webcam, as well as execute any command you can put in a bash script. This instructable is actually quite simple and is even suitable as a beginner arduino project. It requires a GNU/linux (or possibly Mac) operating […]

When making videos with a tripod fluid head, there aren’t that many movements you can do. You’ve got tilt and pan – so basically either a vertical movement or a horizontal movement. Both of these have one common characteristic: the camera stays in pretty much the same space for the whole movement, meaning you can’t

Have you ever had the desire to see what can not be seen? I never had the ability to see in thermal infrared, and it is rather cool to be able to see in the thermal infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Unfortunately, most thermal (FLIR) cameras are very expensive. In 2011 cameras frequently cost
I have been shooting water drops for a while now…. since 2017. I still remember how excited I was when I got water drops bounce from the surface with my first setup I made with Littlebits… With these setups (Mark I and Mark II) I became inspired to give it a go and finally I
This instructable was created in fulfillment of the project requirement of the Makecourse at the University of South Florida (www.makecourse.com) tep 1: Materials List In order to begin the project, you first have to know what you’ll be working with! Here are the materials you should have before you begin: 1x Arduino Uno R3 microcontroller
How to Make a Gimbal Learn how to make a 2-axis gimbal for your action camera In today’s culture we all love recording video and capturing the moments, especially when you are a content creator like me, you sure have faced the issue of such shaky videos from time to time. So in this blog
This project originally started out with a few simple parts thrown together to create a very simple time-lapse controller for a DSLR camera. After I was happy with the initial prototype, I wanted to make a final version which the programming of the “lapse time” was self contained into one single entity instead of relying
Supplies The parts list for this build is quite lengthy, but a lot of these components you may having lying around if you do have an old 3D printer. The 3D printer I’ve used to print some of the plastic components and housings is a Creality Ender 3 Pro. Links from Amazon (Affiliate) 2040 Aluminium Extrusion
4D Systems makes some really nice serial OLEDS. They aren’t hard to use, but the documentation for them is very scattered. This tutorial pulls together the various pieces i’ve found so that you can get up and running very quickly. Start by skimming through the user manual for your particular 4D OLED. µOLED-128-GMD µOLED-96-G1 µOLED-160-GMD1
This is a 3D printed digital camera that you can build yourself. By making your own digital camera, it takes away some of the mystery around how such devices work, and are fabricated. Also, it allows you to fully customize the camera to your liking. You can expand the circuit to have new functionality, or
