Little update for you all (thought I'd start a new thread as the last one was getting a bit big!!). I've been a busy bee tonight and I now have 4 pairs of the MK4 (dare I say final?) boards soldered together... now to get something to put 'em in ready for Synergy!

to many freaks to little circuses!

The pictures and videos really don't do them any justice either

My current guestimate is around the �150 mark. You can find lots of answers to things questions like that on the HyperLight website



I've been making progress on the housings the last day or two and I've also started to play with the accelerometers at last! The early results are already looking promising

Got it in one...although changing the speed at which things strobe is really just scratching the surface of what's possible. Needs some more work, but there's a lot of potential

It means if you spun really really fast, you you could make it look no different to spinning really really slow - you'd still see the same pattern in the same place... ...in theory

Yes I'd love to take some money from you.. soon

From what I've seen, I'm not sure you'd be able to detect anti-spin vs regular spin, but you should be able to see the difference between stalls and spinning and be able to react to those at least

Cake or Death?

I've not tried flowers regular or anti-spun, I was just thinking about what the accelerometer would be seeing. Thinking about it though, anti-spin might actually look more like stalls from the sensors perspective. Need to run some tests

You aren't thinking or really existing unless you're willing to risk even your own sanity in the judgment of your existence.

Green peppers, lime pickle and whole-grain mustard = best sandwich filling.

Here's some examples of the sort of output I get. Bear in mind this is the raw data straight out of the sensors so there's a fair amount of clever smoothing that can be applied to get s cleaner signal to play with

It might look messy, but I reckon we can pull some fairly interesting stuff out of it - particularly for normal spinning. Things get a little more crazy when you start doing things like stalls

He's been working furiously, what on I couldn't say.
Fortunately he's a genius and fixed my fried laptop while he was at it
