hi oscar!
17:05
cscar
Hi
17:05
se6astian
any progress with the 3d print enclosure you want to share oscar?
17:06
cscar
Yes.
17:06
se6astian
great!
17:08
cscar
In short: I've modified the beta compact design to a printable version. It turned out too tight to fit everything (because it needs thicker walls than the metal version)
17:09
cscar
So I resized everything 6mm larger and it fits perfectly. I've test printed one in silver and black plastic to keep the look of the metal version.
17:11
cscar
The Beta internals are fixed to the bottom plate and the mid and top part slide over and are secured by 4 screws that go from top to bottom for sturdiness. Still needs some refinements to make it strong enough for lots of handling.
17:13
cscar
No working on the Lattepanda/Magewell recorder enclosure that fits this design. But I'm also looking into a different look of the camera. That's for later ;)
17:14
se6astian
very cool
17:14
se6astian
any pictures you can share with us?
17:14
cscar
That's about it from me.  Just downloaded the new firmware to install.
17:17
se6astian
any pictures you can share with us?
17:19
se6astian
brief updates: oscar is downloading a new firmware because vup/anuejn/BAndiT1983 implemented some additions to the WEBUI
17:19
se6astian
PLR HDR GUI elements
17:20
se6astian
next steps are adding some buttons to the webui to initiate certain commands
17:20
se6astian
eg. turning HDMI output on/off
17:20
cscar
I'm uploading pictures to: https://lab.apertus.org/M40
17:20
se6astian
also the dashboard yml should now be prevented from being empty if there is an error in it
17:21
se6astian
there is also some discussion about how certain registers/parameters can be transfered between cameras/people with presets
17:21
se6astian
vup had some ideas about that that we might see in action soon
17:21
se6astian
Bertl and me just had a VC with people from the university of rochester about FPGA based eye tracking
17:21
se6astian
will be interesting to see what direction they will go in the future
17:22
se6astian
I sent cscar some v mount plates to implement into the enclosure so I am also curious what you will come up with in that regard
17:22
se6astian
in general I think a prolonged camera design that shifts the center of weight backwards will be intersting and a natural step how the vmount plates could be used
17:23
se6astian
I plan to visit manfred/Bertl on thursday to pick up heatsinks, laser cut ZIF brackets and maybe flex hdmi ribbon cables, time to be confirmed
17:24
cscar
Yes, thanks! Do we want to use these plates as they are or do you want us to make our own in the end? Could be tricky with the spring release etc.
17:24
se6astian
I would use existing plates
17:26
se6astian
we could see if its possible to integrate the DCDC adapter you are using into the 3d print parts around it
17:26
cscar
OK, perfect. They are brand-less anyway. I was already thinking about a horizontal recorderand V-mount behind it  on top of a shoulder mount. It'll make the camera longer, but better counterweight at the back.
17:27
cscar
A bit like the Arri alexa, but also like the (failed) Aja CION.
17:28
se6astian
there are some early concepts in this team talk episode
17:28

se6astian
great, oscar anything else?
17:29
se6astian
Bertl do you have news for us?
17:29
cscar
Great! I did see those before, but didn't know where. Thanks!
17:29
cscar
That's all from me.
17:29
Bertl
not much, the LAM/INT changes are well progressing, we should have something to test in the next few days
17:30
se6astian
cscar: btw very nice texture on the sideplate parts: https://lab.apertus.org/M40/283/ - did you sand them smooth?
17:30
Bertl
there are some issues to sort out, mostly leftovers from the sequencer, but nothing critical
17:31
Bertl
that's it from my side for this weel
17:31
Bertl
*week even
17:33
cscar
@sebastian Yes, I filled it a bit with polyester putty and sanded them.
17:35
se6astian
very nice
17:35
se6astian
thanks Bertl!
17:35
se6astian

me vup and my phlmn applied for the next round of prototypefund
18:20
anuejn
to add a gui to the axiom recorder and make it possible to use the software in post :)
18:21
anuejn
hope we get funded :)
18:21
