what are the specs on the camera – will have video function? if so, will it be possible for 30fps and 640×480 or higher resolution? can the lens be modified to wide-angle? can more than one camera be linked to the same bugbase through some sort of expander module.
inquiring minds want to know…

Very interesting indeed. I was curious how long it would be before a commercial stab was made at OSH.

Don’t forget, this isn’t something entirely new. I haven’t completely scoured the “comments” yet – but wanted to make the reference to Arduino…just in case it hasn’t already made an appearance.

Ben – sounds interesting. We should discuss your requirements further. Helping you build gadgets is what we’re all about.

I need to build a device. It needs to have a digicam (3+ megapixel) linked with a portable computer and small display running some custom software that is open source. I need it to be ruggedized and come with a lightbox for illumination through a diffuser towards the camera lens.
It would be great if these items could be generated-at -the-time-of-order because the market is larger than the custom device market but smaller than the consumer device market – it is the research lab market.

Is this the sort of project Bug Labs will be able to support?

Hey – I am that kind of hybrid. I design circuits, lay out the PCBs and have programmed over 4 million lines of code in my time.
I call it one-stop prototyping. Yes it takes a lot to keep on your toes with all the diverse kinds of magic from transmission lines and strip antennas to .NET ans SOAP. But we are a curious bunch, aren’t we?

I am very excited about what you’re envisioning.
I’ve been wanting to put together some gadgets for a while now, but don’t have the technical skill to do all the little things that are required to make it work.
If you can I will be one of your most loyal followers.

Hey everyone – I was traveling all day yesterday so I didn’t have a chance to respond. Thanks for the great comments! Your encouragement and well wishes are much appreciated. There are a bunch of questions regarding product specifics and uses – stay tuned, we’ll be talking more about all that in the coming weeks.

Charlie – pix are on the way!
