Triggering a Camera’s Flash with Sound and Light

Triggering a Camera’s Flash with Sound and Light
Update: Check out my latest Camera Axe project for a much more robust device that handles this or my store where I sell the Camera Axe. For those just wanting to see the pretty pictures, click here. This article focuses on making the sensors used to trigger a camera’s flash using a microphone or a cheap laser pointer. Since I’ve already described how to do the actual firing of a camera’s flash here I won’t focus on that part of this project today. There are a lot of places on the web that describe how to trigger a flash with an electrical circuit, but I feel that using a microcontroller like Arduino offers big benefits. For instance you can easily add new sensors, or even run multiple sensors at once. Now let’s talk about why we’re triggering the flash. Most SLR and DSLR cameras let you attach a cable to trigger the camera directly. When I’m using this flash trigger I work in a dim room and set my shutter speed to 10 seconds. Laser Sensor Here’s the circuit. Sound Sensor Flash Trigger Related:  Projet de réalisation

DIY High Impedance Preamplifier w/2N3904 UobboU Photo Arduino Risultati di ricerca - corbettaluigi - Gmail Arduino Analog Pins: Setting Up A Photo Interrupter (or Slotted Optical) For Digital Pins (Part 2) | Utopia Mechanicus As I mentioned in the last post, I finally got my photo interrupter to react under the Arduino, using an Analog pin. Now for my project this was fine, as I had actually allotted one analog pin for this detector, as the digital ones would all be in use. But analog is slow (about 110us), much slower than a digital detect, and I worried this slowness would someday come back and cause problems. So I looked at the circuit I was using, and realized something: the analog output value of 200 was quite low. I was thinking of 255 as the upper limit for analog, but in fact it runs from 0-1023. This means that 200 was about 20% of a full signal, and possibly that was why I couldn’t get a digital reading. So I set about increasing the ‘on’ signal. The pulldown resistor (from ground to the pin, to make ‘0v’ nice and clean) was about 10k; perhaps it was interfering somehow. The next step, now that I had a nice wide range, was to try it on a digital test. So, the moral of the story?

Piloter des dispositifs sans fil Électronique | Informatique Niveau: Avancé Jonathan Schemoul Montage avec la Leonardo Partie 1: Réception en 433 MHz Vous avez sans doute entendu parler ou vu des détecteurs de fumée, d'ouverture de porte, des télécommandes, des prises murales, etc. sans fil ? Que ce soit les modèles chers que vous trouvez en magasin ou les modèles chinois bon marché, la plupart, s'ils ne sont pas avancés, utilisent la bande de fréquence 433 MHz (n'essayez pas ceux en 315, ils sont illégaux en France). En ce qui concerne ces capteurs en 433 MHz, il se trouve qu'ils utilisent pour la plupart un protocole très simple, introduit par des circuits intégrés chinois à bas coût, les PT2262 côté émission et les PT2272 côté réception (d'autres plus exotiques comme les SC5262 / SC5272, HX2262 / HX2272, EV1527, RT1527, FP1527 ou encore HS1527 peuvent être trouvés et fonctionneront aussi).

The 6 Skills Required to be a Good Data Scientist - ANZ Blog Presenting at Teradata Summit 2014 across Australia and New Zealand this week, Teradata CTO Stephen Brobst discussed the skills that are required to be a good data scientist : - Curiosity: Dives into the data head first. - Intuition: Has good business sense and will explore in directions that yield results but is not afraid to fail. - Data Gathering: Knows how to find data and knows how to design experiments to obtain data when it is not available. - Statistics: Understands causality versus correlation, expected value theory, statistical significance etc. This is different from the base math, but covers the understanding of creating a viable sample size, understanding the basis of valid and sound experiments etc. - Analytic Modelling: Uses historical data to predict the future without over-fitting the data. - Communication: Ability to explain the results of data exploration without using math terms. "So, where do you find people like this? - Give them self-provisioning to data.

Projets DIY - Construire, réparer, détourner Fabriquer simplement un petit robot suiveur de lumiere Auteur : Olivier Despont Ben Finio a réalisé un petit robot suiveur de lumiere tres simple a réaliser, pour cela, il s'est basé sur le principe du célebre robot BristleBot. Son montage est donc composé de 2 BristeBot reliées, dont chacune est piloté par un capteur de lumiere type LDR ou photorésistance. Pour réaliser ce montage, Ben a utilisé : Une petite breadboard de 170 points 2 X Tete de brosse a dents 2 x Photorésistances (VT935G) 2 X moteurs vibreurs de téléphone portable 2 x Mosfet (IRF 520 TypeN) 2 X Résistances 4,7kΩ (0,25W) quelques wires de prototypages Un support pile et deux piles AAA Apres avoir assemblé tous les éléments sur la breadboard, il a assemblé le bloc pile sur le dessous et a rajouté les tetes des brosses a dents sur les cotés. Un petit peu de décoration en papier pour rendre le robot plus vivant et le tour est joué. Vous pourrez retrouver tous les détails de conception sur www.sciencebuddies.org

ExifTool – Enhanced Java Integration for ExifTool | The Buzz Media Sections See ExifTool in action here! Description This project represents a robust and seamless Java integration with Phil Harvey’s Perl-based ExifTool. The goal of this project is to provide a well design and performant integration with ExifTool such that integration of ExifTool into any Java application feels completely natural; like using any other Java library where all the concerns of interacting with an external process and/or the more complex concepts in ExifTool itself are abstracted away into simple, Java-provided constructs (e.g. enums, Maps, name/value pairs, etc.) Even the use of more complex features of ExifTool, like “daemon mode”, are abstracted away by this project and simplified into a single line of code change for the caller to take advantage of with no concern for leaking host OS processes or streams; this Java integration will take care of all of that for you automatically.
