The focal reducer lens is from Amazon but I rehoused it in a 3d printed adapter to save space. Links for both should be on my website project article. Great meeting you as well, OpenSauce was super hectic so I don’t quite remember what we talked about, but feel free to email or reach out on my socials for more help or just to share progress :)

@@teaandtechtime Brilliant thank you, yeah it was a bit hectic was good to talk to you. yeah would love to keep in contact I'll check out your site thanks :)

A couple hours usually, but has a physical power button so the standby time is basically as long as the batteries natural discharge rate. Check out the my attiny voltage monitor blog post for more info on power supply

Ya I think it wouldn’t be too difficult to extract that part of the model out into a single box with a tripod mount. Might be a bit before that happens though haha

Ah, probably the IMX 283 right? Maybe for v3 you can consider the m43 sized IMX294. I saw someone get it to work on a pi forum but unfortunately YT won't let me provide the link without deleting the comment. It was noted that a "V4L2 subdevice driver" and a "4-lane MIPI CSI" were required.

Ya the focal reducer is linked in my original pieca camera build documentation on teaandtechtime.com the 1in sensor is the imx283 called the “one inch eye”

A m43 would be cool, no available modules for purchase yet (or maybe ever) I want to keep the build fairly accessible by using things people can buy off the shelf. The pi5 version will be able to swap out different sensors for budget and availability (more modular)

@@teaandtechtimedid you mean you couldn't buy the IMX294 as an individual part? If so that's a shame bc m43 is about the most accessible, adaptable, open-source, and affordable mirrorless mount there is. Bit of a stretch, but maybe there's a way to control the focusing motors on a cheaper modern-ish lenses (for manual focus only). It's focus ring is probably just some potentiometer and another 2 of the metal contacts control the focus-motors' power. But that's just me being optimistic. Your next Peica version sounds super cool. If people can build modular cameras on a budget that would be a game changer. Lens and sensor customization? awesome.

You can get imx294 sensors and there is an open source pcb carrier called fourthirdseye but you need to assemble it yourself which I could probably do but those small parts are a pain to do manually. github.com/will127534/FourThirdsEye

Thanks!

Have not been able to dive into the boot issue, might need a boot loader update. For the battery I am just using a AA style Lithium battery and I seem to get like months of run time.

It’s a 37mm for the second version

I was wondering the same thing. Want to make sure I order the right thread size the first time haha

37mm for the updated 3d printed filter mount

It’s pretty amazing how well it works, you just need to take 2 images of the same I just fairly quickly. You then just need to combine in post

I’ve done like 4 to 5 rolls on the point and shoot with one battery and minimal flash

It was like 10months from the first day it came out :/

D4 and GND

I don’t run this one very often, but I have another point and shoot that I use the same cr123a batteries in and the only thing that has trouble is the flash

Interesting, make sure to check the polarity and for any shorts with a multimeter.

I dont think you need the yellow. On my second version I just used a green filter

It’s half frame so it’s around 24 ish

do i print the reto filter with a 3d printer?@@teaandtechtime

Ya it’s 3d printed. Links to the files are on my blog.

@@teaandtechtime will 34mm red and green filter fit the model? Can’t seem to find 37mm color filter without ring

I like having 10,000 alarms :)

It was definitely a fun little project! Let me know how it goes if you decide to build one

Yup haha

I’m not sure how much power the 4g modem takes since I ordered it without one :/ it also boots up pretty quickly and holds powered off standby charge really well so that could be an option

Oops! Hopefully it comes out correct the next time

double check you are selecting the right units for dimension. A lot of times if someone designs something in US standard (inch) and you import it to 3d printing software to slice it, the software only can use Metric units so it results in the size of the model being reduced by 2.54 times.

There should be 2 notches in the frame that is used to screw the plastic filter into it. I used a pair of calipers (very carefully) to remove mine but there are special tools you can get.

as mentioned unscrew it with the two notches I just used a small flat head screwdriver and unreasonable force. The IR cut filter I had came mounted without the notches so I made my own with a hacksaw. You can protect the filters with masking tape both if you need to hacksaw and if you are like me and unscrewing the retaining ring with a flathead.

Ya I’m working on a few things with the uConsole and those were already on the list!

Thanks! V2 should be coming out soon :)

Wordpress app is now deprecated and the Jetpack app does not support shortcuts. But the Jetpack app is a bit better at media uploads so that’s a plus

@@teaandtechtime Jetpack is not allowing me to upload media from iPhone

Mine was more like 10months from initial launch , but they may be shipping in that time frame now but I would expect a wait to be sure

@@teaandtechtime oof, that's rough. I hope it was worth the wait for you. I'm not too bothered by a short wait, especially since I can do monthly payments on it, but 3 months is definitely pushing it for most people.

Already done in the new version, hopefully a new video coming soon

Ya the translucent one was the way to go to tell that it booted and or charging

I think it’s just the one cm4 option

It’s a portable raspberry pi computer, so you kinda need a specific purpose to buy one other than it just looking cool

The images are under exposed on the color channels actually since the light has to go through the color filter and ir cut. The infrared channel is sufficient only slightly underexposed. I pushed this film 1 stop when I sent it off to get developed and scanned. I’m currently looking into options for getting more light to the film but it’s a much more complicated process…

Mine took much longer 10months, not sure what current wait times are…

@@teaandtechtime its sooo wired

I have my own 3d printer and just used the basic settings in prusaslicer. I haven’t tried to use a printer company. You can possibly check your local library, sometimes they have 3d printers for you to use.

@@teaandtechtime I see, will have a look, thank you so much!!

Haven’t done stress testing but standby/powered off has been minimal discharge. After a few weeks of light use just dropped below 80%

I tried installing dragonos (base is Ubuntu) but not even the screen came up automatically so there probably is some drivers to work out. maybe clockworkpi has some install instructions for setting up other os’s but I couldn’t find anything when I was testing.

Scratch that, actually was just looking at the schematics and it should just be connected over usb the keyboard has its own microcontroller and firmware you shouldn’t need to do anything for that so it was probably just the screen config

Haven’t run any stress tests but I use the same battery in another point and shoot and it lasts quite a while, at least one or 2 rolls haven’t tried longer. Blog post has the print teaandtechtime.com/making-a-usb-c-rechargeable-2cr5-battery/

@@teaandtechtime Awesome thank you so much!

There is a 40pin ribbon cable for gpio inside but you need an adapter forum.clockworkpi.com/t/access-to-gpio-externally/6064/6

id also like to know

I think so, but I don’t have any other options to try atm :/

Working on a v2, video may be a while out though haha

@@teaandtechtime I can understand that! Thanks for taking the time to respond!

I would think so, but there would be some work to get things set up correctly
