Thanks. That's the way I wired it, since I saw it on your schematic. I was just worried after seeing on the product page that S was "control."

Thanks so much for adding the files. I have the small lift - and this seems like it will be a nice addition for more easily getting the correct positioning. I did print it face down - but the printer was in need of tuning - printing too close to the bed. I also have a textured bed and it...

Admittedly I may be missing it - but I can't seem to find the 3D printed Camera Mount shown in post #915. I've looked through the various folders on github. Is it available for download? Thanks! Project is coming along. 3D printing is causing the biggest delay at this point. Have the auth...

Finally got the basic wiring set up for TFT and Encoder. I'm sure you can all imagine how exciting it was to see this screen pop up letting me know the test had completed successfully :smile: I have sent a PM to Niglyn for my auth code. I did realize that I have the older firmware version on...

Good to hear. Sounds like I may have unwittingly traversed the Chinese manufacturing minefield :) My biggest remaining concerns are the sensors. It does appear that I received the type that have the correct connections - but the quality is so poor that each pin/pad area on the underside seems...

Sorry, should have added link in my initial post. Not sure if Amazon listing will work internationally, but this is the one I got: TFT (LINK) It hasn’t been hooked up to anything but the computer yet - so I won’t know for sure until I get home from traveling at the end of this coming week...

I really do appreciate all your help. I moved hastily because I found one that came with the expansion board - so I know it fits correctly. I was worried because the linked board seems to be the “32D” variety while mine is ESP32”S”. Research lead me to believe it’s an older version. As long as...

Looks like I may have messed up in ordering the ESP32 board. I only did a brief comparison to the chips and pins before ordering - and now I'm afraid that the one I ordered may not be compatible with this project (based on finally getting to post #822). Mine seems to be a "S" version - so not...

Thank you so much for the quick reply. The ability to pinpoint curtain issues is my primary reason for preferring the ESP32 version. I am not sure why all the 4" versions I find locally are running ST7796S, but it might force me to try the smaller version, and hope for the best :) Although...

Hey folks. Huge thanks for all the work that has gone into this project! I am in the process of working my way through the entire thread (have another 10 pages to go), but wanted to ask a question so I can order the parts while I finish up the reading. I planned on making the ESP32 version -...

Ah. Good to know. I hadn’t read that before. Thank you! Also, it was encouraging to hear @BHuij experience with his B-22. The old thread that prompted my concern with popping made it seem like the negative would pop for certain.

Appreciate the detailed response! I like your plan of waiting until an issue arises before I get too worried about it. So far I haven’t noticed any bad focus issues at the corners. I’ll continue to keep an eye on it though. I mixed the developer at 1:9 this first time around. I’ll play it safe...

Thanks. Yep, that’s the one I originally found (mentioned above). Unfortunately it’s about 1/2 what I paid for the entire enlarger kit by the time I get it shipped from Canada. So for now, I’ll just keep an eye on the negatives and hope for the best.

So far my exposures have been very quick. Initially it was 3-5 seconds. I had to use an ND filter in the drawer to get it closer to 9-12 seconds. I am using Kentmere RC variable contrast paper (don’t think I mentioned this earlier). I use Kentmere 400 a lot, and have the Ilford chemicals...

21 piece glass??? I have a headache just thinking about making that :)
