I realized i never updated here- i’ve been getting really weird with dc electronics, motors, and mqtt on Indigo:
Below: stepper driver test board (more on that later)
Below: wooden box with physical push buttons and LEDs on it connected to an ESP32. Pressing the button fires off MTTT which updates and MTTT same device on the server. The shim device maintains the status of different IP cameras in my workshop and whether they are currently recording or not via the Blue Iris plug-in. When there is a change, indigo server suns out a message which causes the corresponding lights to turn on or off. I will additionally have big red “recording“ lights over each IP camera.
Below: Top Left- stepper driver board. Top Right- arduino board with two stepper drivers, 24V->5V converter, logic converter that takes i2c messages from a raspi and directs two steppers. Bottom Middle- a hat for my Mega2560 So I can attach a bunch of buttons, a liquid crystal display, and six rotary encoders (I called this is the Stepper Tester 2000)
Below: Fun with EasyEDA
Below: Nylon 3d printed pan-tilt gimbal with a raspi camera on it. The raspi handles face detection and ensures the gimbal stays on my face
Below: Testing my diy video recording setup. More cameras and calibration pending
I hope to have some actual video soon.
