UniMe Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) Oog to you as well Don't fault me too bad for my inattentive visual processing, I was busy scanning the background for the OP's 'mate'. At first I thought 'cool, bold blond woman dressed in all black rippin' along a trail on an EUC'. The mind is a wondrous thing LOL Edited August 7, 2020 by UniMe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owner, who was strongly restraining the old dog, says it has bird dog instincts that kick in at the sight of a target. And yes...it's been so hot that some surfers went without a wetsuit While others kept the wetsuit on Edited August 8, 2020 by Bob Eisenman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was someone with long blond hair flowing out from under their helmet. I have 2 dogs (finish lapphunds) and they are seriously uncertain wtf I am getting up to with my new EUC. The one sits at the window by the door whining and barking until I'm well out of sight. When I would practice in the field next to my house they would do laps around the yard and run back and forth along the fence yipping and barking. I think they're excited, but perhaps also just a little bit freaked out (probably exactly how I was feeling at the time lol). We're going to take them to a park and try a more structured intro to the wheel, it would be amazing if they could get to a point of running along with me without me worrying about running them over. 2 parts doggie training, 3 parts me training -- I'm thinking that's still a long way off. If it helps - she absolutely freaked out for a day when the Sherman arrived. As soon as she realised it’s another thing that lets me run at her pace she chilled out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kristof Willen Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Offroad in the woods near the university town of Leuven, Belgium.

Bob Eisenman Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) Last night I rode a half mile to the harbor around 1 am hoping to photograph a Perseid meteor near the Perseus constellation. It was really dark at a spot near a road between Marblehead/ Salem. After one hour (180 twenty second images later) I found that I captured one a few minutes into the photo session.

Bob Eisenman Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 (edited) I put together a Raspberry Pi 3 touch screen plus v1 pi camera a few years ago while I was still riding the Ninebot One E+. Here is a recent PiCam photo of my Monster posted from the touch screen Raspberry Pi. It`s kind of buggy though since updating the Pixel OS.   Looks like my external battery was low...AC power adapter to the rescue. My Ninebot One E+ web view of the EUC forum on Raspberry Pi touchscreen. The Pi accesses the internet through a WiFi hotspot created with my Android phone using a (discontinued) USB dongle called 'Wi-Pi'. https://thepihut.com/products/raspberry-pi-wipi-wireless-adapter Raspberry Pi booting up...

Bob Eisenman Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 (edited) @dismasonI was thinking of ways to make my 'Raspberry Pi' more useful. An article on making the Pi work as an intervalometer with the component gphoto2 for DSLR cameras is read here at https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-dslr-camera-control/ sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade Is the first step. Probably more useful to buy an intervalometer from eBay for $20 Edited August 15, 2020 by Bob Eisenman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably more useful to buy an intervalometer from eBay for $20 That would be quite expensive for what you need. But it would be a good learning project. If you want to build a cheaper and simpler one, use a 555 IC. You can build it using the dead bug approach for being as inexpensive as possible or design your own circuit board. https://commenthow.com/article/display/3407/0/Time+Lapse+Intervalometer+for+SLRs+with+555+timer+IC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Eisenman Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 (edited) 4 hours ago, Cranium said: That would be quite expensive I have an installed Android app called qDSLRdashboard which has an intervalometer function included. It worked as expected in my apt. In the field it hung for some reason (unfamiliarity with app interface?). Need to check it out more indoors. My Raspberry Pi idea keeps running into compile problems and qDSLRdashboard should fly. This is the shutter delay !! (not the interval delay} interface part of qDSLR. This is the Canon DSLRdashboard view on the Android app. Android beats the Raspberry Pi but I thought I'd give it a try on the Pi. Thanks anyways... @CraniumIn the field (at night) I confused the shutter delay time setting button on the left with the interval time setting button on the right. My app interface button choice in the field seems to have been the problem. The app works fine as an intervalometer when USB tethered to the phone. 😁 Edited August 15, 2020 by Bob Eisenman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
