I covered the whole sensors. I put out the main cover in order to show you how did I separate sensors. I also have bought new sensors from my local seller and I will try once again

Dear Niglyn, I managed to create cover for sensors with light proof black foil. With that I separated every single sensor from reflections from other lasers and also I added big cover that covers whole sensors compartment. Furthermore, I glued sensors to their connectors protect against unwanted...

So my plan for today would be attaching lasers that I got from AliExpress and making cover from ambient light. Btw the lasers that I use now have power of 5mW. I will test it on every camera that I have.

I will make more tests tomorrow but I discovered that adjusting lasers really matters. I mean every laser has got "focusing" knob. I made the tests and when laser is focused on the shutter it increase up to 1/450 from 1/350 on the same shutter speed without any adjustment. Also I managed to get...

Dear Niglyn, I have a problem with tester. First of all I managed to build frame with horizontal sensors. But I have serious issue with alignment. Despite the fact that I decided to use better lasers that can be seen on the photo. Laser points directly into sensor"lens" but I got information...

So I will make 2 different frames for two different shutter types. If it comes to this error it appears even in fully working cameras where is no capping effect and there are usable. I assume that it could be a problem with arranging the sensors diagonally and the lens mount that can block...

Hi, thanks for all your help with soldering. I bought proper solder and suddenly new light meter module started to work properly. I managed to build first prototype laser/sensor module. I build it in a way that I can test horizontal and vertical focal plane shutters. There is also a mask in...

I think It would be the best for me to buy components that don't need any soldering. Today I will build the main tester and connectors have already been soldered.

I checked every single connection between light sensor and esp board and everything seems to be fine. No short circuits etc. But the light meter seems to be dead. During booting process of the tester it is written that light meter is not connected. Maybe I accidentally destroyed it during...

I checked connections once again and everything is properly connected. So is I understand it correctly I should use 4.0.0.9 version

I agree that I'm not very good at soldering. But unfortunately, I've never soldered such connections before, and on top of that, the tip of my soldering iron tends to melt, which doesn't help. However, I managed to make the right connections where there are no short circuits in either the light...

Hi everyone, I'm currently working on an ESP32 shutter tester. Despite the fact that the main computer is working perfectly, I am having serious issues with the light meter and the optical shutter tester (LED matrix) (MAX7219CWG 2530+). The matrix has shown signs of a bad connection, as it...

Hello I need a key. For now I managed to build, lightmeter and matrix tester. Now Im going to build the main part of the tester that is lasers. I will use lego for that
