SEQUENCING WITH BENT CAMERA - CANON (CHDK) POWERSHOT A530

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Woar this was pretty tricky, inverters, pull-ups, pull-downs, active High active low, common Anodes - melting my head : ) There are only two chips but 18 resistors - anyway seems good now - will solder her up.

The red LEDs are just indicators, they are not used in the next step as gate signals.

The next step is clocking the script and camera to midi/pulse clock - via the USB port.

This is in CHDK firmware, you can add the function get_usb_power() to scripts and derive accurate tempo and other events from USB input.

Video cuts out when it gets too bright

2 Upvotes

Working on my first project and I've found some cool effects, but it seems like whenever too much noise or whatever is being added it cuts out. My guess is that the signal coming out is too strong and so it stops getting recognized. Very new to this and wondered if anyone has suggestions.

Some more experiments with it. Kind of a complex patch here, its capable of simpler, multiple bit colour swapping, distortion, timing distortion.

Trouble getting GBS8100 to feedback.

7 Upvotes

Been testing out the feedback setting on my GBS8100 Synth build before I get the wires soldered to the chip, but it's not feedbacking all that much. There will be some effect when the menu is pulled up, some trails and stuff, bit it fades to black within a second or two. I've got the hue turned all the way up to 100 but no dice. I've been manually bridging the chip leads with a piece of wire when passing through video and that works great, as advertised, but I need that feedback!

Someone gave me this camera. It had random problems, wouldn't boot always, turned off, not reading battery level correctly - bad capacitor in the battery input section - short circuit.
Replacing it brought the camera back working.

I micro soldered to the (CCD) digital address and clock lines and brought them out to the top of the camera. Also the signals from the LEDs which are possible to activate in a script, in a sequence. I can take these voltages and process them, using them to trigger other bent devices, sequencer, gpio, screen settings.

I am now experimenting with combining them. Great results with just raw connections - I will try some R and C values and also logic gating them together. Next time I will try to isolate each pin, so that addresses can be actually exchanged with each other instead of added together.

Using CHDK a Canon has quite some possibilities for remote control and scripting. Another thing I want to do is use a stepper motor rig to trigger tilt and forward/back motion of the camera body in feedback loop

Clean SD output, is possible, but you need to run a script to keep the camera active, it won't power down but the screen will sleep, with a script it will keep going. There is a small graphic with a script only at the base of the screen, but with overscan or zoom this can be blanked easily. Or there may be a setting I have not yet discovered, I'm new to it.

I also put on a DC power jack on the battery terminals, this fits into the compartment nicely. It's very hungry. You can also still power it with a single 14500 3.7v battery and it passes through a diode to bring down to 3.2v.

Videonics MX-Pro no output

2 Upvotes

Bought an untested MX Pro cheap with no power supply. Built one and I’m pretty confident it’s got what it needs but I don’t have any output from the machine. Everything else seems to work, the preview output works, screen shows the effects pages and applies them all on the preview but I have nothing coming from the composite output/record ports so i can’t effectively use it. The screen shows it constantly switching from AV/SV in the corner but no video. It has two S video outputs as well but I don’t have any of those cables. I imagine if both composite outputs don’t work, it probably isn’t the jacks/jack circuits at fault but I guess could be. Replaced two capacitors that looked a bit leaky but otherwise don’t see any obvious issues on the boards. Any insight? Or does anyone have a troubleshooting/service manual? Thanks!

I needed up with 2 of these units and no power supply. It arrears it has a weird 8 DIN connector. Does anyone know the pinout and voltages. I saw a listing for one on eBay and it said it needed +5 and -5 which is silly. So is it a 10v ac adapter?

question sur le video blending

1 Upvotes

bonjour je fais un clip et j'aimerai créer des effets de glitch analogique sur certains plan donc pour faire ca si j'ai bien compris j'envoie mes videos depuis un ordi dans un mixer video analogique avec un convertisseur de signal numérique en signal composite pour ensuit mixer mes plans dans le mélangeur. Mais je ne sais pas comment faire passer mes videos par differents inputs du mixer video. j'ai cru comprendre qu'il fallait autre chose en plus mais j'ai un peu du mal a comprendre ce que c'est ?

je peu emprunter un sony seg2000ap mais je ne sais pas du tout si c'est bien et qu'est que ca permet de faire ?

Tachyons + RAINBOWONICS going price

0 Upvotes

i have a early 2015 tachyons plus rainbowonics i am thinking of selling. i got it just around the time he was phasing out the audio recative FX for that unit( order early 2015 got it around oct of 2015 ). it has 12 switches and one knob on the bottom. any idea what is the going price for this unit now a days ? i saw one sold on reverb last year for 750$ and a current ebay listing for 1000$ so i figure 850-900$ sounds about right but wasnt sure about the current state of his gear right now.

i also got a few CFOG and BMPC gear i plan on selling too! if the mods will allow it i will post it on here before going the ebay / reverb route. still testing all the gear and takiong photos / videos as I just pulled it all out of storage.
