Another camera body around the RPi HQ cam and updated camera software.

I've been buying vintage lenses to try out.

I have about 5 years of professional experience, mostly in web application space as a front-end dev or varying level of SWE. I've also been a CTO/Co-Founder of a document-signing on video company. I tinker with hardware too, would like to go that route. I do not have a degree. I started to learn how to code in 2013 back in the LAMP days.

Oh yeah as far as what I've been doing the last 9 months, been working labor. I was making hardware projects but lately just working labor all the time.

Most recently I have worked on an iPhone app paired to a watch for a client.

Kind of stopped writing code for a while. Been a few months.

Going back to the basics... a ToDo app

Thanks. I listen to EmbeddedFM and I always hear about JTAG but have not used one. Interesting thought about subsituting an FPGA for a microcontroller. Guess you would have to know how to use one in order to do something trivial like blink/move a servo.

It is on my list of things to learn/have one (Orange Crab). I just haven't had a specific use yet. I know they use them for video out/camera for example. One day... so many things to learn/need time.

I will check it out, I'm using headless bookworm atm

It's slow haha. Faster on the Pi Zero 2 with bookworm. I think it's 20-30 seconds.

I use systemd to run main.py let me time it real quick.

Edit: I was off, it's 40 seconds when the intro animation starts playing.

This is why the camera spends most of its time in the home screen state until you're ready to take a photo which is when the live pass through plays or while recording a video (allows you to change focus/aperture while filming). That also conserves power since it has the highest current draw while recording/showing a live preview.

I watched that, was amazing, those kind of creators like Applied Science are on another level.
