    Hello Ben, a few months back I myself had been the one who came up with this idea and after talking to you on Facebook you liked the idea now i see you are making videos about it and not even slightly acknowledging my idea. Thanks for the video though really helpful.

  • @rustyshackleford5166
    @rustyshackleford5166 10 лет назад +8

    I almost wish Ben would tell us when the projects are going to be in split videos. I would have waited til it was done to watch all the parts. Instead, I am on the edge of my seat wanting to see the final product. The suspense is killin.......gag...gag...bleh. (Lol)
    Welcome, Max. I like how they both had to tilt their heads back to look up. Its fun to be tall. (Unless low chandeliers are around)

    • @BHBproducer
      @BHBproducer 10 лет назад +10

      The "... Part 1" in the title doesn't tell you that the project is going to be split into different videos?..

    • @QuantumFluxable
      @QuantumFluxable 10 лет назад +3

      You know, you could just have a look at the episode title, it says "Part 1" in there...

    • @JRockySchmidt
      @JRockySchmidt 10 лет назад +6

      It says Part 1

    • @rustyshackleford5166
      @rustyshackleford5166 10 лет назад

      William Holman-Bissegger QuantumFluxable​ J Schmidt​ Alright folks, don't have a cow. I don't bother to look at the title. I get a notification and I just click it. Then I switch to wide-screen.
      I am not gonna delete my comment. I am gonna leave it up because I believe that if one makes a mistake, one cannot just delete it. One must deal with its consequences. Otherwise I would have deleted it by now. I noticed before y'all commented and I did feel foolish after I noticed. But I must accept it.

    That was really funny especially the intro :-) and that is a killer idea with the camera panning automatically. Totally blew me away when I saw it working and I realize what the concept was going to be. Killer dude!!! Man, I love these videos! it is sad that we are not going to be seeing Alyson anymore :-( , but we definitely welcome the new guy Max! :-)

    Could you have it track a IR led that way you just have to shut the led off and not have to remove it from frame? Also you could clip the led to your lapel and have a momentary button on your person where the IR would light up and the camera would track when pressed?

  • @Sonicdude10
    @Sonicdude10 10 лет назад

    Here's an idea for the project Ben. The Pixy can detect distance too, right? Does the camera this will be used on have an optical zoom function? If so you can set the distance detection system up to adjust the recording camera zoom to get the camera dialed in perfectly with the target and one button push.
    Just an idea. Not sure how hard or easy the code for that would be. Hardware wise it wouldn't be too hard to do.

  • @stophnerf
    @stophnerf 10 лет назад

    Could you use a series of different coloured LED's that operate via push button? That way you could define different colour profiles, set specific functions to those colours, and have combinations of functions, ie, focus here + zoom in 20%, pull back 50%, pan from this colour to that colour, zoom to these two extents but stay focussed on the focus here colour, etc. LED's would make it so they could operate in lower-light situations with better clarity, but maybe you could do a mechanical setup that would work the same way. Just a thought, though you're probably already past the next phase.

    I like the idea of this project so far, but have an idea, imbed the "puck" with a bright colored LED that when on, changes the color of the puck so that it would then be ignored. You can move it where you want to, press button on top, and move it away.

    hi! we are working on a project which is similar to the one you worked on, but we are using the brushless gimbal motor with a basecam instead of the steepper motors and a Gopro. so we want to know if there should be a code that can control the brushless gimbal with arduino or shall we use just the basecam to do it?
    PS: we proposed two possibilities to track with pixy, the first is with colors (as you did) and the second is with IR-Lock. so for the second proposition,how can we send the x and y to the basecam to control our gimbal motors.
    thank you in advance

    Hey The Ben Heck Show , I think a good build idea is to improve upon the portable cnc machine or maybe just a regular cnc for people on a budget.

    I wonder if its smart to have the pixy and the final cam on different rigs. It makes things more complicated. I would put the pixy on the cam. Or did I understand Ben wrong? Also nice to see the new guy. Wonder if he will appear more frequently like Alyson did (in jokes etc).

Would be great for Microsoft Hololens presentations in the future. Making one on the cheap would be great.
