I've added the STL, OBJ, and Blender file here: www.thingiverse.com/thing:3023833 I was hesitating because I wasn't sure where I wanted to put it all since I'm contemplating creating a separate channel just for neural networking/AI.

I really like the modular design! I wonder if you could make a second eyeball camera about 10cm to the side of the first eye... with some post processing it *may* be possible to do depth perception calculations by superimposing the two images and calculating the pixel differences to triangulate the position of various objects in the field of view.

Thanks! I've never looked into the math but it sounds feasible. Calculating the distance to objects was one use I had in mind for having the motors not affect each other. I'd have both eyes fixate on the same object and then triangulate using on the servo motor angles alone to get the distance to the object.

hello, I'm new on the channel. Your channel is just awesome ! 1. Could the camera of the eyeball work on arduino ? 2.Is Blender a free designing program for 3d printing ? 3.Maybe you could do a turret project, combined with the coil gun and this eyeball project , where you can use a laser pointer ( any color within an angle of aiming) for targeting & shooting. [nb 3 could be fun lol] :)

1. The camera I used, the Pi Camera 2, won't work with an Arduino. However, as I point out in the video, if you can get a small enough camera which does then it's just a matter of designing a new eyeball part, just the white eyeball. The rest should still work as is. I can see I'm going to have to find a place to put the STL files. I'm not sure if I want to put them on my website or github or a new neural networking website. 2. Blender is a free program mainly for doing 3D modelling and animation, though a lot of people seem to use it for drawing 3D scenes for making still images. However, as you saw, the same 3D models work for 3D printing. There may be better software such as Fusion360 or 123d which may be more suited for precision parts and design, but I haven't had any issues yet. 3. So many possibilities with this thing!

Hi do you have any suggestions for a camera with zooming capabilities? In addition what would you say the best cameras for projects like these would be? Thanks.
@RimstarOrg
4 жыл бұрын
I haven't researched cameras with zooming capabilities. I just finished making my next version, with two eyes this time and YoLuke webcams, these ones www.amazon.ca/dp/B016MPIFWQ/ref=pe_3034960_236394800_TE_dp_1 but they don't have zoom, just manual focus. I bought them because they were very cheap and so I wouldn't call them the best cameras. I haven't researched for the best yet. I'm switching to them because they are webcams with USB output, meaning I can connect them to anywhere, unlike a Pi Camera which can work with a Pi and only a handful of other boards. I should have a video up about my new version in a week or so. Let me know what you find.

Steve, this is off topic but, What's the best wire to use in making a crystal radio? In viewing your past videos on Crystal Radios, I did not hear what type of wire to use. I understand it's solid core copper but, what gauge? Thank you so much.
@RimstarOrg
6 жыл бұрын
Are you talking about for the antenna or the coil? For the antenna it doesn't really matter unless you have a very long antenna. I that case a thinner wire will introduce more resistance so you'd want thicker. If for the coil then I talk about that in my video about making crystal radios kzitem.info/news/bejne/t6eayYlvjn5yn3Y around 2 minutes and 37 seconds in. What complicates it is that the induction of a coil is dependent on but the length of the coil and the number of turns, both of which are affected by the wire thickness. So in that video I use a specific wire gauge to get the specific dimensions for the desired induction. Otherwise if you have a different wire thickness then you'd just have to do the calcs yourself. I talk about selecting the inductance in this video about LC circuits kzitem.info/news/bejne/1aB6n31vboRylaw and about designing the coil for a specific inductance here kzitem.info/news/bejne/wq2vso2drmiAd4I.

From the conversation u told me about, current, which is really nothing but outputs the max, how would I calculate the math of amps flowing through me at current limited of a transformer? Like... 12000v×500000Ohms 12000v×500000Ohms×.030A Or just the first one, but if the answer is over .03, then that wouldn't be right? Also is microwaves really dangerous? When they produce 2000v but only flow 4mA? Just making sure if I'm right, also I think neon transformers are less dangerous cuz of less flame Arc...
@RimstarOrg
6 жыл бұрын
I'm not sure why you're multiplying everything. The equation is I=V/R, current=voltage/resistance, so 12,000 v / 500,000 ohms = 0.024 amps. But that also depends on whether or not the source has can supply that much current. By "microwave", I'm assuming you mean microwave oven transformer. If you're just plugging the transformer directly into the wall socket then the maximum is how much current the transformer will take and the size of the fuse/breaker. From this page www.kronjaeger.com/hv/hv/src/mot/index.html it looks like the transformers are not current limited so it's up to the breaker/fuse for your wall socket (since the generating station can surely supply at least that much). So for example, assuming a fuse/breaker of 10 amps and voltage 120 v from the wall socket, and assuming the transformer will step the voltage from 120 v up to 2000 v, the output current will be (120 v x 10 amps) / 2000 v = 0.6 amps (I rearranged the formula at the bottom of this page www.passmyexams.co.uk/GCSE/physics/transformers.html to get Is = (Vp x Ip) / Vs. So yes, they're dangerous. Of course, the 10 amps will also blow the fuse or trip the breaker. See the first link I gave about limiting the current.

I never thought of it. The code I wrote takes snapshots, analyzes them to move the motors, and doesn't store them. For debugging purposes, I sometimes write them to PNG files and then bring up the PNG files in an image viewer but it slows things down a lot. I guess I could have figured out how to capture a stream just for the sake of this video.
