My first time lapsing video. I have been thinking of doing it for long time, but no patience for doing it until now. I did it on Raspberry Pi with a old logitech usb webcam. only thing is I forgot to take care the red circle light reflection from usb cam at night. Next I will connect with my Pi cam (need to get it back first because lent it to someone!)

Raspberry Pi and Camera Module
This weekend I have been working on the Raspberry Pi and Camera Module. The Camera board is similar to the one in the post:

It had no problem until I started testing video, and which gave me error something like “Enable to set SEI”, and could not record anything. However, after spent small amount of time researching, I found that it was the problem of powering issue if just connecting the USB cable to the computer. If you ever got into some error message like me when recording video, it would be the problem of the power and try to plug into other power source.
Another thing I wanted to do is time elapsed video by combining a sequence of image. I followed the instruction here (I wrote a python script to capture photo, only memcoder part from this tutorial ) and successfully combined 20 images into a video. Very short but experimental. 🙂
For more technical information or code, I will post on http://sunnycyk.com later. To be honest, right now I have not updated the other site for awhile because I am writing stuff for Arudino Robot Car and also busying working on other Node Project. So please come back and check later. 😛
