Well, that’s ALMOST all the top sensors installed: lidar, rotary encoder, light sensor, 2x OLEDs, accel/gyro. Just missing the position sensor for the lens rangefinder cam. Thats a lot of electronics gear in a DIY camera.

I realllllly hope this works. 😄😅

@ChadHillPhotos Nice!! Looks great too. I wanted to build this.The electronics and programming were/are too much for my skills. The building part is really fun though. I made a Brancopan a few years ago, and more recently a Nanopano. Fascinating to see them finally work. Looking forward to some images when it's finished!

@selyfriday I have built a pretty good number of electronics projects and am reasonably handy with a soldering iron and I was pretty intimidated by the guide. Not everything was clear until I started actually assembling it.

But the guide is actually quite good.

Now that I have all the components and can see how they go together it is not NEARLY as difficult as I imagined and the total amount of soldering is low.

Most components just drop into well designed mounts and get daisy chained. 😅

@selyfriday I had to get a few extra daughter boards printed because the minimum was 5, so if you wanted to try it I can send you one! I’ll also post photos of the completed electronics when they are done. 😄

@ChadHillPhotos Thank you but I had another look at the assembly/board/wiring.... and I think I have too many other projects need doing before this. I'm afraid it'll sit around not getting completed. But thanks for the offer.
