   15.12.2014 - Splitting the projects

The camera have been running for a day, and all seems to be well.
It made me wonder, whether the RF module is even needed.
All the settings are stored on an microSD card, and it is supposed to sit in some remote location.

At first all i wanted is an RF-accessible camera, which grown into a time lapse one.
Time to split the two.

Practical numbers on performance now are 3 seconds at 100mA for the camera to stabilize and get a picture, then 13 seconds at 60mA to write the picture down.
4 joules per picture, if we ignore the RF.
That is, 56Wh per year, or 4 D cells.
With an LDO, it doubles to 8, so i might add a buck converter to power the big loads.

The time lapse camera, as it looks now.
Several problems with it - RF module sticks out, the card is in an inaccessible place, camera is not lined up with the mounting holes, etc.
Time for a new board.

Hey Nelson, you `have been trying` and yet want `exactly the parts used`. That doesn`t sound like trying but rather cloning aka mass production clone attempt.

I wouldn`t see any reason as to why you would need the exact parts provided if you really would have tried that yourself.

I have been trying to do the same thing that your doing for a while now can you please provide exactly the parts you use

It's on the download page since a while ago. I guess i should have mentioned it in some visible place.

Any news on when the firmware will be ready to download? I have a building project at work (a new school) that I'd like to film with a year long time lapse...

Certainly, once i'm sure it is working reliably.
23.12.2014 12:35 - Artlav

will you make the code available?
23.12.2014 03:26 - erik

That would be "Ether" from Youtube audio library.

Cool project -- whats the music on the Moscow time-lapse? Fits very well with the video.
