doesn't have the same ring to it.. i made a camera that snaps an MP4 and print it.. GIF is more relatable and is becoming the generic lingo to denote this kind of medium
I'm just in America but not American which is why I refuse to accept inches and weird numbering for screws haha.. it's worth the few extra bucks for me, you're right though, you could modify the design and use cheaper screws
haha no problem, those are pogo pins just making touch contact when the cartridge is inside.. once you eject the cartridge its own power source takes over.. slide it back in and it starts charging again
ya I enjoyed that trick too, it was the first time I had tried it but it worked really well.. You can get the traces to be really fine though I haven't measured the actual doable resolution
yup I too am using the term just to denote a short animated image loop. It's much more efficient to store and send over an mp4 instead which is what I do
ah thanks for letting me know! I was just working off images of the camera I found online, I guess I could have actually used it to control exposure on the piCam
Hey you got it absolutely right.. i do these project for fun, as learning experiences, as self challenges and to keep the creative juices flowing.. it's how I enjoy spending my time and money haha
I agree, this is something I built entirely with off the shelf parts so the cost is bound to balloon.. The cost can be brought down significantly like you said
yes, bringing the cost of the cartridge down is definitely something that needs to be worked on.. this one though is entirely built from off the shelf components
also I agree I use the word print loosely but I guess after seeing all those print functions in programming languages, I thought there was no better way to put it
Definitely agree with you.. this was just a concept for me that I was able to build with off the shelf parts but this is exactly the type of discussion I was hoping to get going..
