Very nice project! How are the test strips are arranged around the base time? From base time upwards 6 steps from left to right or base time in the middle and three stop increments up and down? Do you have any pcbs to sell? thx

@johnbuildsthings 6 часов назад
Thank you! The test strip times are -/+ 3 stops from the base time so that is always the fourth test in the strip. And yes I have some extra unassembled PCBs available. Please contact me at john@johnjonesfour.com to discuss.

good project, for my time lapse videos I prefer a shorter interval between shots seeing clouds curl and fold into themselves is fascinating. Must admit I've never done night time time lapse.

Nice Video. I have a question I would like to place my Allsky camera in a place with a dark sky, where there will be connecting to the internet, but what would I have to do to be able to have access to the Allsky set from home? It is known elsewhere to be connected to another WiFi network.

You would either need some sort of wifi connection nearby or you could look at some sort of GSM modem solution www.adafruit.com/search?q=gsm. Thanks for watching!

Please dial down the obnoxious background music. It drowns out your voice and makes the video a less than positive experience.

I'm grateful that this project exists. I have owned BloomSky cameras in the past, but the project has all but disappeared. I am curious as to why you did not mount this atop the peak of your roof so as to avoid the overhang and the streetlight glow? Or is it just inconvenient / difficult to reach?

Very nice! I built an allsky cam several years ago using a Pi but with a different camera module. I used the same plastic hemisphere from Amazon. Unfortunately the dome lasted less than a year before it turned yellow from UV and eventually developed a crack. The heat output from the Pi and the camera were sufficient to prevent fogging and condensation inside the dome. I used a PoE adapter to power the Pi over a wired network connection and mounted it on the roof next to my weather station.

This is cool. You should do something with the resulting timelapses. Make them viewable online in some cool way. Android widgit showing last night’s Timelapse maybe? Put it on a nest display? Not sure, but a part 2 could be cool. 👀

very cool project. Do you think a zero w would also work? The pi4 seems to be a bit overpowered for that project.
@johnbuildsthings
@johnbuildsthings 10 месяцев назад
Thank you! The Zero might be a bit underpowered actually. The web portal and software behind it handles a lot in terms of image capture, enhancement, and management. I think the best bet instead of a 4 is an old 3 model. Also there'd probably be problems with the Zero and cameras. The ribbon connector is different and I recall having USB power issues with Zeros in the past.

Hi John, I was wondering what camera you were using onboard the rocket. Given that you are using a raspberry pi, was it a (raspberry) pi-cam?

My 13 year old son is developing an interest in model rocketry. In our journey of discovery to understand how all the pieces work we discovered your RU-vid channel. I would like to know why you opted for an arduino for the ground control center instead of another raspberry pi?
@johnbuildsthings
@johnbuildsthings 2 года назад
Thanks for watching, William! I went with an Arduino for the ground receiver because all that I needed was something that could read the data packets coming from the radio module and print the data to the serial console for my dashboard to parse. A Raspberry Pi would be overkill in that scenario.
