My Trip to SC and AL

Last weekend Brandon and I went to Aiken to visit Mama and Daddy. Brandon's birthday was Monday so he opened presents on Sunday.

Tonight Brandon had a basketball game. They won 32-29. It was a very exciting game. John said that this was one of the most exciting this season. Brandon scored 2 points. I think he was just showing off because I was there. He has another game Thursday night.













Timelapse test

I've been waiting for one last part to come in the mail for the circuit board. It took it about 3 weeks to get here. I didn't know when I ordered it that it was coming from Thailand. A long way to ship a $2.00 part!

I had a couple of hours before dark so I put in the part, and programmed the chip to take a picture every 10 minutes from 4:00 - 6:00, and strapped it to a fence post. This was the first test. (And the first time I have been able to see if the board can even turn the camera on and off and take a picture.)

I was suprised that everything worked the first time!

I put the photos in the slideshow program to make a short video. The picture is fuzzy because the camera was set on the lowest resolution.
