Re: Raw sensor access / CSI-2 receiver peripheral

I will start working on providing high framerate options to raspiraw for v2 camera (besides --fps) soon. As a first quick test I wanted to follow up on 424fps recodings (640x480, but only top 215 lines got updated) posted earlier in this thread: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=109...

37" is nice HDMI monitor size for Pi 3B+ ;-)

Recently I got a nice surprise at work, was asked "do you want that 4k monitor?":
https://twitter.com/HermannSW/status/981848283961352192

Today I connected my Pi 3B+ to that monitor without problems, full HD only, nice anyway:

Re: Creating a RPI-assisted microscope

Yes, Pi 3B or 3B+ are quicker than Pi Zero, but most times single core performance is what is needed, and even that is not an issue for microscope application. See here for a specific lot of integer processing optimized C programm Zero needs 30μs, Pi 2B 27μs, Pi 3B needs 17μs and Pi 3B+ needs 14μs r...

Re: Creating a RPI-assisted microscope

As our aim to lower the budget as much as possible, does the 8mp camera worth it by comparison to the 5mp? It is good to have one v2 camera, as it can eg. take VGA videos at 180fps with full GPU support, and it has 8MP compared to 5MP for v1 camera. On the other hand you get v1 camera for 6$ with f...

Not sure why you need the microscope ;-), see image below. With Raspberry v2 camera (8MP), M12 lens mount, IR 1080P f6.0mm 1/2.7" lens (65°) and two M12 extension rings you can take images with down to 0.77μm/pixel, in a 3280×2464 pixel image: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=...

Re: Cheap local high framerate gadget

The frames were NOT taken with 0.25ms shutter time, I have problems to get shutter time working with raspiraw. So shutter time for the frames shown is frame delta time which is 1.5ms. This explains the slightly blurry frames. I asked in raspiraw thread for help: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/vi...

Re: IMX219 rolling shutter effect severity

What you describe in altering the shutter speed will not really alter the rolling shutter effect due to movement (object in the scene or of the overall sensor). Correct, but I found another way to reduce rolling shutter effect a bit. For a closing mouse trap the speed increases steadily by constant...
