Mineral oil is something that I wouldn't never think of ! Have you tried with another viscosity (maybe less) ? Maybe it's the video, but they look a bit "fatigued" compared to the regular setup (in my opinion) I'm thinking about some kind of curve applied to the pwm signal, to move fast until 90% and go really slow in the last 10% to avoid noise. Not sure if it's possible with this device, but it may be a different solution. And if it's not possible totally by code, could it be done by adding a capacitor to be activated only in the final 10% ? (this is crazy, I know 😀)
@PierreMuth Жыл бұрын
Thanks for the nice words! I first tried to play with a kind of pwm, or the idea of micro-stepping to flip the dot slowly. But the dot is designed to be bi-stable, and the magnetic core of the coils uses the hysteresis property to stay magnetized in one way or the other. So playing with AC signals often results in the demagnetization of the rods and the dot lies freely. So from the beginning the aim was to make the dots move slowly ;)
@midclock Жыл бұрын
Okay, that makes sense, they are designed for public transports so...they tried to avoid bumps to alter dots orientation probably! I don't know man, I studied a little of electronics so I cannot help you with that, but as far as I know, magnets change their behaviour with temperature - it may be not the solution anyway...I think you are looking for something that makes the switch slower, I'm not sure that temperature will change that, it may only increase or decrease the magnitude. PS: these panels are rare, and really expensive!

Good afternoon! Maybe you can tell me - how to run your program? I tried to run it in Windows 10 and nothing happened. I have the latest version of java installed. I also tried to run it via .bat file (start cmd /k java -cp C:\1\Calibrator.java) and it just pops up black for a second and then disappears. Unfortunately I am not really good at programming and I must be doing something wrong. I would be sincerely grateful to you if you could help me. By the way, on my screen with about the same density (I have 270ppi) I was able to completely remove the pixel raster when transferred to photographic paper with minimal loss of detail. I applied a filter in front of the screen (matte film from a perforated pocket, tread sheet) - the image lost a little detail, but when magnified through a magnifier no pixels are visible, the texture of the matte film became visible - it is quite shallow, chaotic and much more pleasing to the eye.
@PierreMuth Жыл бұрын
Hello ! Thanks a lot for the filter idea ! It is very clever and can be adjusted with different grain density ! To launch the program, I’ve updated the Git repo with a complied Jar file -> github.com/pierre-muth/Digital-Picture-to-Analog-Darkroom-print/tree/master/DigitalToAnalogPhotography/jar Could you try with > java -jar GrayScalePlayer.jar ? Then on the interface you’ll have a button to choose you image file, and then a start button to play the sequence. I still have to find a way to customize the curve gray vs time with the interface and not by modifying the program. Hope that helps

Hi, It took few days for the remaining bubbles to disappear, they sometime prevented the dot to flip. Now everything is still working perfectly after 5 months. It runs non stop, displaying the time. And every 15 min it cycles all the dots. I did that because I don't know if the dots could be stuck after a long static time in this oil. I don't see any ageing of the plastics so far.

Thanks! I'm not an expert, but I think the oil should not reduce the longevity. Even the opposite imho, the discs are flipped thanks to the magnetic field, and the oil reduce the chocs and stress. The only thing I can imagine is a reaction between oil and plastics, only time will tell us I suppose. Cheers!

Ooh, interesting. I've been thinking about LCD or OLED panels with the colour filter removed recently, thinking I could get a massive resolution boost by basically turning each subpixel into a full monochrome pixel. Is that basically what this is? Or are the subpixels still tied together and the extra resolution potential just wasted?
@PierreMuth3 жыл бұрын
Hi! thanks for the comment. Yes it is ! There are 3 sub-pixels you can control with the RGB values if you'd like to boost the horizontal resolution. I should try this at some point. However there is a small darker ligne between pixel lines, it is visible is you magnifies a lot. (visible on this print: pierremuth.files.wordpress.com/2020/04/img_7298.jpg )
