content: As a part of Dave giving me the opportunity to reach a larger audience through the guest videos, I hope this camera can bring something good to another member here on the forum.It is a Sony BVP-7AP Color Video Camera which is meant to be used with the CCU-355/P, this is the central control unit that would sit in a car with the satellite dish or be mounted in the mixer room of a studio.It has nice viewfinder and properly a good shotgun microphone. It has a Fujinon 14x motorized zoom lens. It has 3 separate color sensors, hence the 3CCD brand, they sit in a optical filter for Red, Green and Blue.It delivers a 720x576 lines PAL encoded signal, form the test output, the combined CCU output is a mix of picture, sound and internal communication on a special carrier frequency.It has seen some water from bad storage, which never entered the electronics, but the UV filter behind the lens seems to have some glass pest and the exterior of the zoom lens and view finder has some aluminium corrosion. But it seems fully functional.This is a heavy item (6kg) and shipping might be in the range of 60€ for Europe (even worse overseas), cost can vary from country to country, please ask for specific price if needed.I will also include the DVR-USB converter and the dodgy software that came with itThe "contest" rules0. Watch the video to get an idea of the electronics that is inside1. Present a short description of a project that you want to use this camera for2. Projects that will focus on digitalizing the analogue sensors for a new purpose will be considered front runners3. I pick the winning idea on February 1st 20184.

37 Sensors and a CGMICROKIT - Page 1

author_rank: Newbie
timestamp: August 01, 2018, 10:11:21 pm
content: Ever look for information on the small electronic modules that you can buy on Amazon, Ebay, and AliExpress? I've been using them for years and each time I have to do a bit of research to find information on them.So I've started collecting all of my notes and posting them to a collection of information on 37sensors.com. I've included the basic technical information I've discovered on the sensors in the typical "37 sensors" kit that you can buy. Now I'm adding some example usage of those devices using the CGMICROKIT. I'll be adding more types of devices, like radio communication modules, Real-Time Clocks, SPI and I2C interface devices, LCD, ultrasonic distance sensors, etc. I'm making this a way to share my notes with others, and I'm hoping students in STEM studies that need to make sensor projects will benefit from this effort.I'm hoping that other people that have used the modules in the 37 sensor kits and other similar modules would be willing to stop by and share any knowledge about specific modules that they may have. Look at the picture above - If you have used this type of module you could share something that could help others.To sweeten the pot and to draw in more people to use these 37 sensor kits, 37sensors.com is having a giveaway of 37 sensors, and a CGMICROKIT.

content: Great idea and nicely done. I've misplaced some of the interface docs for LCDs and some other little modules. Over time, as these things evolve, it may become hard to find information for earlier variations, especially for more complex modules with many components on them. Then, you'd have to trace out the PCB to try to figure out what's what.Note that your post mentioned an image, but it doesn't seem to have shown up.

You notonly have to isolate the data-path signals, but also other subsystemssuch as power and communications. This seminar is geared towarddesigners who have to select the right components to develop suchisolated systems.There is a general move away from opto-couplers traditionally used fordata-path isolation in favor of digital isolation. In this seminar,you?ll learn about digital isolation and designing isolated powersubsystems without the use of optocouplers. Get a deeper understandingof the various system-level standards that an isolated system mustcomply with and relate these standards back to the components?datasheet specifications.If your next design involves isolation and you want to learn how to makeit right from the beginning while using start-of-the-art solutionsavailable in the semiconductor space, this seminar is definitely foryou!Date & LocationNov 21, 2017 - Cambridge area09 AM - 04 PMGranta CentreGranta ParkGt AbingtonCambridge, CB21 6ALhttps://www.avnet.com/wps/portal/silica/resources/events/training-and-events/registration/designing-your-isolated-system-uk/

"-- this is always said by the manufacturers and distributors of these digital isolators - that's not necessarily the truth. Afair Avnet has lost the franchise with Broadcom (ex Avago) in favour of EBV, so they now must advertise the digital isolators :-)Edit: just checked EBV is part of Avnet, so WTF? Merger confusion is going on and on ... Was ist Arrow or Silica who lost Broadcom/Avago? And why the heck is Avago now called Broadcom, and since when does Broadcom make opto-isolators?Hey, wait - Silica lost Avago with Broadcom? So they now push ADI / TI / Sillabs?

He requested that the applicants make a show for the televisor where they tell why they actually need the gadget.And the people scrambled to their camera obscura(s) and submitted their products to Sir Youtube. But only one of them won the first price.But King Dave the I. and the friendly company of Munich looked upon the good people who applied but didn't get the first prize, so they spoke: "Let there be three further devices released for those who didn't win the big price!"One participant who realised that he didn't win the first prize went on with his life. One day, he unsuspecting opened his email and he found a message from King Dave the 1., announcing that he has won another scope.And he cheered up and told his community from the wonderful Schaffenburg hackerspace at the lovely main valley that they won a brand new Rohde & Schwarz HMO1212.The other hackers celebrated and waited for a letter from munich, which came shortly after and announced that they will send their prize soon!The hackers waited and talked and realized that they might remove one of the bulky old oscilloscopes, made by a glassblower, and replace it by the nice flat one.On the first day of october, the courageous knight who entered the game got a visit from the messenger, who had the brand new scope in his bag.

content: August 2nd, will be the 90th anniversary of the concept of negative feedback in amplification. Harold S Black invented the concept that day while crossing the Hudson river on a ferry, writing his idea down on a blank section of the daily newspaper. His new amplifier resulted in a 100,000:1 reduction of distortion, and made quality, long-distance telephony possible.We ought to do something to celebrate.

content: I'm actually a bit surprised that a forum search yielded zero hits for Hackernest meetups.The summary: They are meetings from once per month to a few times per year depending on the local volunteers. Very casual, drink some beer, have a conversation, the target demographic is electronics hardware and software enthusiasts, the goal is social networking.(not business oriented) Often, but not always, includes a quick promotional speech from either a sponsor(generally the location host) or a hackathon/even organizer and this is as close as it gets to business networking.Many cities around the world,http://hackernest.com/cities/my local city (Seattle) tends to use email notifications and meetup.com for posting dates and locations.If you want this in your city and it doesn't exist just volunteer as a local organizer and the founding organizers will happily guide you.

content: I went on this the first time they did it, and it was really good. That time there were reasonably few people and we got to walk on the synchrotron floor, peeking into the experiment places and stuff. They didn't really know what they were doing in the way of visitors, or what to expect, so it was quite personal and almost ad hoc. Very interesting, a great day out. I think it was a kind of beta test, because...We went to the next one as well, but by then it had turned much more commercial, there were massively more people and queues for everything. Access to the synchrotron was essentially just the upper walkway. It seemed much more targeted at a day out for kids and parents rather than as showing geeks what they do.Despite that, if you haven't been to something like this before it is great to see the engineering close up. I don' t mean the synchroton per se, but the way cables are routed, the labeling, fittings, etc. It is grown-up infrastructure you don't often get a chance to examine and see how it should be done.

We will get a quick tour of Opengear and meet other electronics designers in Brisbane (bring your business card). The idea is that we'll go to a different company each month to find out what they do and have talks.
