My PiCam and PiGlasses

It has been a while since I've had my pi CSI CAM. My original plans are to make somewhat of a baby monitor with the CSI CAM.

I started by messing around with python and point reconition so that way I can take a photo of the baby every day in the same position allowing me to see the growth of the baby but realized that I won't have anything to record since my baby isn't due until December.

I then recived a freedom board from E14 and I thought why not make a soldering video.

I went ahead and set my Pi on my work bench when I came to relized that I didn't have a monitor or a long enough HDMI cable but I came across an old school pair of sony LCD glasses and thought, "RASPI Glasses. AWESOME!"

I started by plugging in the componet cable, booted up, and, to my surprise, I got a visual display and went straight into the desktop.

Thinking back to all of the different mods I can possibly get out of the glasses, I'm going to try and mod the glasses smaller frames,transparency and whatever else I can think of till the baby arrives.

One thing that I learned from taking stills with the CSI CAM to video is that if you wanna take a long video it's easiest to use the "raspivid -t 9999999999 -o movie.h264" command and, when you are done, just ctrl-c out.

You can view one of the videos I took on my blog about soldering headers on the freescale.

Thanks for reading.

    Way to go retro with the Sony LCD glasses, lol. You just went straight component out to the glasses? I can't wait to see what you have in store for that pi cam when your baby is born. Congratulations, by the way, and hopefully he's born on the 30th like me. image
