If you wrote a book explaining how to do this, teaching the concepts, etc... I think a lot of people (or at least me) would be very interested!!! Great job

Thanks :) I've kept this project to myself and would only describe it occasionally to some coworkers and friends. I never thought that many people would find it cool. And always thought that people with more knowledge than me would find a lot of flaws. So it's really awesome to read yours and all the other comments. :) I don't think I could write a book, but I have though in writing other posts, giving more detail in…

This is amazing. I'd also love to read a book on this. Electronics is always something i've thought was cool and played around with a little bit, but never really thought something like this was possible with a bunch of slapped together parts. I feel I learned a bunch just reading the bit od your process described in your article and it really made it feel like something accessible for the average person with a bit of technical knowledge and patience. Thanks for sharing that.

Very cool project, I just wish the images on the website weren't many megabytes a piece. They can't even all load on my slow internet connection without timing out.

It's unfortunate how often people share files directly from their camera without first compressing and resizing them appropriately these days.

ok, this is the most awesome hacker news of the year so far. Really interesting, nice to see that you were able to make it work.

Sometimes I talk to people about some ideas and they say "too dificult, find a simpler project". Sending your post to these lazy devs.
