A Pen That Writes On Plastic Cuffs?
So.
I have the wonderful DiMAGE 5, and despite it's abysmal auto focus, it's becoming my favourite camera. My Favourite Camera That I Can't Get Any Pictures From!
I stole the 32Mb flashcard from the Kodak: It died in the reader.
I mail ordered a 16Gb card: This won't work in either camera as it is FAT32, and just too big for either camera's OS to cope with.
I mail ordered a 512Mb card: USPS tracking reports that it left California on the 26th.. And has not been heard from since.
At REPC I found what I thought was a 320Mb card.. And it works in the DiMAGE 5. but.. what I thought was a marketing tool, the label 'Microdrive', is truth in advertising; It Really IS a tiny 1" hard drive.. That my compact flash card -> USB reader can't supply enough power to in order to run/read. I thought about using the camera itself to read the microdrive and transfer the pictures via USB cable. but my large collection of USB cables does not encompass the proprietary cable required... .:headdesk:.
I finished and delivered the Mintysynth to it's new owner. Now I want one of my own. They're a lot of fun.
I found that Step drills and Chassis Nibblers do a nice job of making holes in mint tins. Getting those holes in the right spots is proving to be troublesome however. I'm going to use machinist layout techniques: A bit of glass shelf and my dial indicator base holding a carbide scriber.
I also plan to use the round tins from Trader Joe's Espresso Pillows as enclosures for a portable speaker/amp for electric guitars. The clear round window nicely fits one of the Adafruit neopixel rings, that will act as a UV meter. The goal is a practice amp that plugs into the face of the guitar, sans cord.
After I find proper compact flashcards for the cameras, I think It would be fun to put the microdrive to use in a Raspberry Pi. :)
