JDC34 Camera

At this point I'm primarily focusing on the software. Right now I'm developing this drag-drop nested-menu-scene builder where each scene is defined in JSON. Most of this stuff/kind of development I already know how to do. I just need to sit down and do it like tomorrow after work and this weekend.

I did this yesterday pretty fun drag-drop. I have to do the snap-grid next and other things. It will be interesting how to do the nesting/function binding, I have ideas. Button binding too wrt to the desktop app and dynamic camera form factors. I will test it on my 3 other cameras I developed in the past.

Oh I took this pic of the family, missing the modular pi cam

Runs openbox to show the OpenCV menu

I was in a hurry to print this thing and there were a lot of small errors, like parts that are not thick enough to be strong eg. screw mounts. But it's real!

The green is growing on me. I thought it'd be ugly as hell, probably is in the daylight. But it's cool, unique.

Yeah these pieces are pretty complicated/need a lot of support. The front half takes 13.5 hrs to print and the back half takes 11 hrs to print plus the display holder which is another 2 hrs to print.

I've already interfaced with all the electronics see below.

So it's a matter of assembling it once I have the plastic parts printed out.

It does look a lot different from what I initially imagined. I had to conform to the part dimensions.

Also I did change my mind later and wanted something that looked like this:

With an emphasis on the tiny vintate cine lenses.

But yeah it ended up looking bulbous which is from using SketchUp as it's hard to design round things. Anyway this camera will use an updated menu I'm working on. Which uses JSON-based menu interfaces and state-rendering like React. That's what I say anyway, that's just the visual aspect, I have to port the current camera code over to Pelicam. I recently added shutter delay for telephoto.

I've been buying a lot of random old C-mount lenses it's been fun.

Recently I took this one out.
