Camera Case

We have built the camera case out of Lego.

We created a case for our camera because it would offer it a bit of protection as well as securing the components in place. It has a secondary advantage of acting as a connector to the pan & tilt stand.

Additional Functionality

We have managed to implement some additional features on our pi camera. These include:

• uploading to Facebook
• tweeting pictures on twitter
• Adding effects to your photo
• Delay timer
• Shut down button

Base

Now that we have the pan and tilt stand working, building is starting on the base that will house the pan & tilt stand. it is going to be built out of Lego.

After lots of failed attempts to build a strong enough base, we have succeeded in doing so.

behold our base:

 With all the components added:

Pan & tilt

we have our pan & tilt built and working. this connects to the app developed earlier. it connects through Bluetooth to the arduino. 

This is the basis of our stand, the rest is going to be made out of Lego.

Mobile app developed that will control the pan/tilt mechanism.
User selects the up button and you can see that the arduino receives this command sent through bluetooth.

Mobile app developed that connects to an arduino using a bluetooth adapter.

User can select the effect they wish to take the photo in using the drop down menu.
