Lomography - Konstruktor DIY Kit

Product Information

To operate at night, the camera must be reset to the correct gain, colour mode and video mode. There are two ways you can do this: With your camera, have you tried taking several shots in a row then averaging them to get better results? Processor– at the heart of all flight controllers is a micro processor that works hard to keep you in the air, we are only really using F3 or F4 chips so I would recommend choosing a flight controller with one of these. The F7 chip is slowly coming in however we are not really making use of it yet. The older F1 chips present in the CC3D and NAZE 32 boards are now outdated and will not be supported by future software updates.

Place your drone far away from you, arm and gently increase the throttle and try to hover a few feet off the ground. Be ready to disarm or drop the throttle incase it flips out. If anything does go wrong refer to this video: Quadcopter Flips On Takeoff: Solved CONGRATULATIONS! – You’ve Done it! My problem is to make a very light thermal camera with FLIR Lepton or Boson cameras that are smallest, lightest, and least power-consuming, to be placed on top of a harmless drone. I know I need a video streaming output from the camera, an interface to bring video signal to a 5.8Ghz Chinese (Ali express, Banggod, Gearbest…) transmitter and need to receive the signal of the thermic camera to receiver video that is connected to my tablet or smartphone via OTG. I cut the cover strips to size and cut the ends at 45 degrees. Then I glued them together and used clamps to form the frames. From left to right: ground glass frame, film seat holder, and rear frame Film Holder Seat If you're somebody who likes to take film photographs, you know the satisfaction you get from a film photo that you just don't feel when you use digital. Just imagine seeing the first photo you get out of a camera you designed and built yourself! It is a fantastic feeling that you absolutely must experience!

As before, don't worry if its not practical to eliminate all obstructions as you can mask off any that can't be avoided.

Once you plug it into the Pi (see image on the right) and make sure the current time is correct on the Pi, open the terminal and run:

I decided on meranti because of its relatively low cost (being a hardwood) and red tone which I just thought would be perfect for the look I was going for in my mind. I also used a few pieces of plywood for things like the lens board. Note that over short lengths of up to about 5m you can also use plain PoE connectors. These simply feed 12V from a power supply into the ethernet and extract it at the other end. Over short distances this will supply the camera with adequate power without the need for 48V injectors. Max Current or Power– This controls how fast you can charge your batteries, when charging we normally have to select a current to charge at. For most batteries this should be at 1C meaning a 1500mAh battery should be charged at 1.5A. Most chargers are either rated for a maximum current (Amps) or power (Watts) which is equal to the current multiplied by the voltage. At this point, your camera must be tested and focused. There's no point sealing up the housing and screwing it to the wall if its not working or isn't focused!

Other options would be the cheaper FlySky i6, Spectrum models or if you are a hardcore gamer the Turnigy Evolution is more of a game controller style. When attaching them make sure that you put them on the right way! This diagram from hobbyrc shows it nicely, make sure to put your props on nice and tight. With a '1' written into every bit position your Processing screen should go white (your Serial Monitor will also show a string of 'F's which equates to white)

5. Read this important safety note!

f-stop values have certain cornerstone values, and the difference between these values is that the amount of light allowed through is halved each time. Essentially, the area of the circle formed by the aperture is halved each time, and thus the light. These values are as follows; 1.4, 2, 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11, 16, 22, 32, 44, 64, 88, 128, 176, 256, 352. Anything past f22 is going to be unavailable on a light meter, so here's how we are going to determine a multiplication factor for the pinhole; You will lose connection to the camera and see a bunch of error messages. Thats normal. Once you see a timeout message, unplug the power and network from the camera. Vbat– If your flight controller runs off of 5V it will still need to read the main battery voltage if you want to make use of features such as the OSD or beeper. You will often have a positive and negative wire to do this connecting to the Vbat and ground pads. Receiver– You’ll have one signal in wire to connect to either an UART RX port or a dedicated SBUS port etc. You may also have a telemetry wire which will connect to a different UART TX!

Building your own DSLR HD camera is probably not something you're going to be able to do unless you're an electrical engineer. These devices are very complex and require a number of specialized circuit boards and other materials. However, creating a simple homemade camera isn't that difficult. Pinhole cameras can be built with a few basic items. The only difficult part is developing the film, but even that isn't too hard.The f-stop value is a relationship between the diameter of the pinhole and the distance to the film. The formula is:
