I try not to make to much of a racket. This means little saying and drilling, more organizing and planning. I’m that regards, I’m working on getting my auto photo setup going, the only thing is, the damnable USB spec. I need one kind of cable, I think the Micro B, and I’m just finding every other cable under the sun. One specification with dozens of incompatible variations, from a physical standpoint, but identical on the inside. It’s like they’re trying to show the inherent flaw in racism or something. At least that would show reason.
Any way, once I find the cord I need, I finally root any of my android devices, strip everything. I need camera, WiFi and Cron. And that’s all I need. And some file transfer ability. And that’s all. Camera, WiFi, Cron, and fine transfer. And that’s all I need.
Of course, once I get it taking pictures, it’ll only get worse. I also need a mount, a place to put the mount, a way to do updates without moving the phone, ideally a way for the phone to pan itself. I’d need the hardware to verify this, but I think I know how is do it. Setup a track across the ceiling, camera is setup on the track in a carriage with a couple servos, one with the movement, one or more with the directional functionality. Use the headphone jack to feed data to an Arduino. I see how to do it, just never have.
Peter's stuff.
