NEWSLETTER

The basic programming for the Engines are more or less done. The effects are close enough but in terms of timing, it is still not there yet. You see, the timing from startup to the engines on full blast, is about 2 seconds. And in that time frame, there’s a lot of exciting things happening.

These five LEDs represents the different LED segments in the Razor Crest Engine. I wanted to take a video to highlight the engine effects but alas, my Huawei digital camera is unable to capture the flicker effects accurately. Do take note that this circuit board is of my own design as a Programming Adaptor cum Testing board for the Microchip PIC12F629 as I was too lazy to re-wire all jumper wires in a breadboard.

THE VLC PLAYER

My goto Video Player is videolan’s VLC Player. However, the time elapsed display does not show the true milliseconds despite using some plug-ins. Still, this is as good as it gets unless I go use an actual video editor.

VLC’s plug-in, called Time v3.2 does show some milliseconds (bottom-right) but after searching on the Internet, they’re not exactly accurate.
However, I am going to take a look at it these few nights and hope for the best.
