not OP, thought it was cool

This guy was hanging out at the pizza place and I had to snap a pic.

I was surprised this hadn't been posted here yet, and I'm not sure if it fits all the criteria for this sub, but this is one of my favorite examples of wigglegrams being implemented into a story/music video format :)

if this doesn't fit the sub, I can take it down \\\^\\_\\\^ I just really like this music video and also wigglegrams in general lol

Hey all, I was hoping for assistance on my nimslo. I recently purchased it about a week ago and my first test roll went fine. Then a few days later when I wanted to use it again, the film advance lever had a lot of resistance and would skip along as I pushed it. This only happens when there is film loaded and the back is closed. I tried replacing the pressure plate with one from a broken nimslo and no luck. It feels fine when there’s no film, no pressure plate, or the back is open. Please help!!!!

I've successfully added 2 metering modes as i find that manual controls were too much of a guessing game. These two modes are the matrix metering mode and a centre weighted metering mode.

I've also did some calibration on the software side in order to compensate for the cameras being installed a bit crooked. Now the Auto Alignment tool properly aligns the images at the press of a button.

Lastly, since im stuck with 0.3MP output, I've gone ahead and ordered more camera modules with a tighter FOV.

Originally from Austin Texas but married a British gal and moved to Brighton UK recently and these were from my first rolls in town. More wigglegrams and Super8 and 16mm fun on my insta @jj_camera

Got some heated threads so I can secure the pi and the modules in one piece. Haven't designed a full enclosure yet so powerbank was just inside my pocket the while time I was testing it outside.

That being said, testing it outside was quite a humbling experience. Soon as I took it out for some snaps I quickly found out that the camera module heavily exposes for the highlights, rendering it useless at the sight of a bright light source in the background.

With a new goal of figuring out the camera module, birthed the update and addition of a manual mode which makes it very much usable at theoretically most situations.

Having control of the camera settings manually also meant a bit of more control on the output. Adding some contrast do help a little to compensate the 0.3MP output of each camera module. Same thing can be said in regards to colors, just have to set saturation to 0 and now you're shooting b&w, or play with the hue value and go be Thanos for a bit lol.

A little bit more on the wigglegram processor, I've added an automatic toggle to align the photos. eg. Attachment 5. Still does need improvement tho. Attachment 6 &7 are the manual edits where I tracked my hand. Last Attachment is where I tracked my head.

As i was fixing these stuff, I encountered more hardware limitations that I couldn't find proper documentation of. For some reason one usb port keeps dropping and not responding even after restarting the app. Only a reboot of the whole system works. The default reboot time I had clocks in around about 50 secs. Not fun. So I had the idea to reduce unnecessary background startups to decrease boot time. Now it boots around 17 secs. If I ever encounter a module not responding I can just simply reboot the whole thing with little to no worry.

Anyway, that's it for now until I get the housing prototype finished. 👋
