26 face 360 Shape

A 26-face printed object made from a recent 360 pho­to­graph. This shape turned out to be the best: You can see more 360 shapes here.

Funny Facebook message

As a Face­book Com­mu­nity Mod­er­a­tor, I get lots of mes­sages every day. This one made me laugh today:

Cut-out template

This is a lit­tle too ambi­tious (cut-out shape). The black areas are folding tabs.  

Happy New Year — 2012

I wish every­one suc­cess and good health for 2012. For me, 2011: Taught myself elec­tron­ics and Arduino, and built two time­lapse cam­eras Learnt and used NGinx with HTTPS, and HAProxy Learnt Android pro­gram­ming Per­fected my 360 pho­tog­ra­phy, achieved sur­round sound, and my first pro­fes­sional 360 pho­to­graph Con­tin­ued busi­ness suc­cess Excited for the oppor­tu­ni­ties 2012 brings.

Research and Development

This week I have been per­form­ing highly unse­cret research for Medi­aDroid Ltd. Prototypes:

Reminder to myself

Reminder to myself to read this: Cre­at­ing a Night Panorama Today’s exper­i­ments involve this:

360 Video

First test using 360 Video (warn­ing, needs a pow­er­ful com­puter to view it prop­erly): Click here to load the 360 Panoramic Video test

Project Photofly Testing

Here are a cou­ple of tests I did using Autodesk’s Project Photofly. It cre­ates 3D mod­els from pho­tographs taken in a cir­cle around an object. It doesn’t work well with shiny objects, hence the prob­lem with the car, but it is still impres­sive technology:  

DIP switch with Arduino

Here is a use­ful func­tion to read DIP switches with Arduino. Wire the switches to ground, as this uses pull-up resis­tors:   int myDip­Pins[] = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6}; //DIP Switch Pins void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); for(int i = 0; i <= 4; i++) { pinMode(myDipPins[i], INPUT);       //Set DIP switch pins as inputs […]

Datasheets

The past few months have involved a lot of dia­grams like this:
