Its getting better

ive spent a bit of time now tweaking the program to make the software run a little bit smother.
now its still a bit jumpy but that's because my CPU is running at 100% so need to upgrade but its allot better that before.

Its working

Well its now all wired up and up and running, now its still not finished but its getting there and after a bit more wood work and tweaking i should be finished soon.

sorry for the poor quality vid and i know the movement on the PC isnt the quickest but should be able to sort that out.

good day in all today!

its alive, ITS ALIVE!!!!!!

so i got up nice and early today to continue with my project.

ive added the PC and LEDS plus the acrylic and powered it all up and it worked. i had blobs still, not as good as before as ive up a diffuser for the lighting but with a bit of tweaking it will be fine.

things are looking good for this project and not long until complete!!!

not good but then good?

Ok so the acrylic arrived and i was more than happy until i tried it on top of the endlighten acrylic. i couldn't get any blobs! not even a hint of it working so that's out of the window but i will work something out.
at the moment i've spent the last 48 hours making a box to hold all of the components, it is a bit ruff around the edges but this is going to have a case around it once it's all connected and wired up.
i didn't have time to put the PC in but did manage to get the LCD screen in and then powered it up...................................................................................and it worked!!!!!!! i had a bad feeling that i would turn it on and either i would get a big band or the screen would be cracked but it looked to be working well.
i now need to put the PC inside next and sort the back light for the LCD so the light is even.
as ever i will keep you updated!

More acrylic

Ok this is by no means an exciting update but ive received a sheet of acrylic 590mm x 590mm and 2mm thick. This is to go on top of the Endlighten acrylic as the Endlighten scratches way to easily so will put this onto as to protect it and if this gets damaged it’s a dam sight cheaper to replace.

I now have a week off work starting Saturday so will look to have the table about 90% finished.

The day of the LCD

So ive spent most of today building a frame to hold the LCD screen and cam. so far so good and although i didnt have time to power the screen up i was still able to get blobs with the screen in place.

good day for me!
