stoft "Nice graphics. Yes, white LEDs are not broad spectrum. If it's of any help, I set (Matlab code) the ELP camera to: Manual Exposure, Exposure=-3 (-1..." | Read more » about 6 years ago

stoft "What I've read is that the RPi camera used to use the OV5647 camera chip but has "upgraded" (changed chips) to a Sony IMX 219 PQ CMOS image sensor ..." | Read more » over 7 years ago
stoft "Jeff, I inserted the component details in the note above, just before the plots. As to the RPi camera, it seems to have two "difficulties" which n..." | Read more » over 7 years ago
