My conflicted feelings about Christmas are summarised in these images.

My oldest camera: Franka Pronto
The actual model’s name is Franka Rolfix. It was made before World War II. Probably around 1938. I have looked at these brands of cameras and they all look different in detail. It is a Folding Camera designed for “full” medium format 6 x 9 cm. The lens seems to have no coating and uncoatedContinue reading “My oldest camera: Franka Pronto”
Collaboration with AI
Two digital painting experiments using AI (Dall-e) generated images. And then overpainted by me. The phrase I used to generate images: “A Renaissance painted portrait of a woman who doesn’t know who she is”. Images generated by DALL-E: My overpainted versions: Details:
Artwork that knows when you are taking a picture of it
This is my electronic artwork inspired by Peter Vogel’s and Walter Giers works. And I am pretty happy with how it came out. It looks cool and it has artificial intelligence (to a limited extent). It recognizes when you are taking a picture of it with a mobile phone. And it uses only a microcontrollerContinue reading “Artwork that knows when you are taking a picture of it”
The Pink PCB Update
Soldered the components to my pink PCB. It looks good. but not everything works as I planned. The first post.
Pink PCB, why not
New and pink with gold! One of my experiments to combine electronics and illustrations. And actually, it will be a sculpture.Assembly will be difficult because some holes and components are purely decorative. But others must be precise. Final PCB made by PCBWay: Different PCB colours at different angles! Design ideas and sketches. Although there isContinue reading “Pink PCB, why not”
Some short animations
Some short animations I’ve made recently. Mainly with Blender. The main goal is to learn.

Golden Lion
I really like these golden lions. They have good contrast and blue with golden is a classic combination. There has a lot of coats of arms with this combination. The board is just a Raspberry Pi Pico carrier board. I only needed to change the Pico footprint to remove all through-hole pins and pads fromContinue reading “Golden Lion”

One PCB designs
Here are one PCB designs I have made recently. In spring I bought TinyML Cookbook and there are a lot of detailed examples of how to use machine learning on microcontrollers. So I designed this board to experiment with it. On this PCB, with is made by PCBWay, is room for Arduino Nano 33 BleContinue reading “One PCB designs”
