It's almost certainly picking the wrong camera mode (annoying as there are only two currently in there...). We don't do lens correction (well, we do lens shading correction but that is something different).

Many many years ago a magazine was published called Input, I have the full collection in ring binders. If any one is interested please contact me, you will need to collect them from worcestershire , UK. Thank you.

At 50 I still take stuff apart. You should have seen the look on my wife’s face when I took apart her AeroGarden! It did need to be cleaned out and contacts cleaned, but I wanted to see what kind of controller it was using. It uses a PIC.

Still waiting for my Pi.

Glad the video is up for viewing. I missed the talks…the little ones (6 & 9) weren’t too interested in the Ras Pi, so they had us doing other things at the Faire.

SOMEBODY please tell “Ben Heck” to reply to his YouTube Channel Videos and actually post links to His Project Diagrams, Support Files, Parts and Parts List. And maybe He’ll actually Help people!

  Have to say, I totally understand Ben’s choice to keep his responses to stuff on the element14 website, where his show lives, and on his own website. We at Raspberry Pi don’t reply to YouTube videos either; we keep everything centralised here and on Twitter. YouTube’s comment system is hard to organise, full of trolls, and too busy to easily keep on top of if you produce as many videos as we do or as Ben does.
