I don't think the LEDs will have a problem with being strobed really fast. I used to drive some at 30kHz without issue, and they were just standard LEDs. I...
At least, I believe it's something that should be tested!
So, I quickly created a new dt-blob binary for the PlanktoScope to test the LED flash. It seems to be working great. I just have to test the capture on...
From my tests, I do not think flashing will improve anything (because of the global reset thingy mainly, but also because the flash duration seems to be like the shutter...
I agree. I have in mind to have a dedicated line on a custom made HAT that PlanktonPlanet could provide to help lower build costs. Definitely something I'm looking at...
For the record, the custom hat has a way to strobe the LED. However, minimal pulse length is 40ms, which may be way too long. We should investigate with fast...
On the redesign, one side is going to be closed out, while the other will have a part designed that pops in to hide the light.
