I created a new version of my Photobooth Controller software package. The service application now automatically reloads the configuration file when a change was detected. It is no longer needed to restart teh service to load a new configuration.
The new version is available here as download.
I designed and built a LED-ring for the Nissin MF18 ring strobe. The ring features 28 LEDs that are arranged around the flash. The ring covers the openings on top and bottom of the strobe.
The LED-ring may be controlled by a number of photo booth applications through my controllers.
I have updated the software to control the Photo Booth LED ring.
The new version includse a few bugfixes and a more stable connection to Breeze.
The setup image may be downloaded here.
I overhauled the LED Ring Controller. It is now available as Windows Service. It runs in the background and can be started automatically at system startup.
A new function has been added to the LED ring firmware. It now supports a free running automatic countdown function. This allows to use countdown in Breeze or Darkroom Booth.
To support applications that can only call commandline functions, a helper application has been added.
The latest version of the software and firmware is now available on my website.
I gave the LED Ring Controller application a face-lift. It now supports both dslrBooth and Breeze. Configuration has been streamlined. To ease the installation I wrapped teh application in a setup image.
I re-designed my booth buzzer. It now features a Bluetooth LE module that is powered by a LiPo battery. Charging is done through USB.
The buzzer is user-configurable to send a mouse click or keyboard click to any device with Bluetooth LE connectivity.
