I'd like to be working on this effort---I brought up before, but it sounds like it's not a good idea to have a temporary "fix" that just hard codes the Qp value as it will crash the encoder according to @0dan0. In his notes that he posted a while back (a TXT file with some of his changes...

This approach involves drilling new holes into the chassis that the lens board mounts to. I think getting the 12mm macro lens is the better way to go, and keeps the alignment in place. You do have a Type D unit, as that sensor board is stamped 2025.

The plastic posts are held by screws that are easily removed once you have separated the case. So the two ribbons you see in that picture---the narrow one goes to the button control panel on top of the unit. Before you pull apart the halves further, move that top panel to the other half so that...

Thanks for posting this! I didn't realize my heat gun was set as hot as it was---I partially melted one side of the mount while I was trying to remove the glue bead. I'll be back on track with my lens upgrade in two days when the new mount from that kit you linked to on Amazon arrives!

@0dan0, in Type A/B/C mods, were you able to identify an address that stored the current buffer address that was being drawn to? I saw that ipl getimepath reports the current buffer frame.

@0dan0, can you share your last version of the hist.c for that display? did you have that blinking issue I had?

Ok, thanks for that input, @0dan0. I've started to use the BSim plugin with Ghidra and the AE function I was working with before in stock D does seem to have a lot in common with the A/B/C AE function. I'm hopeful with at least that, but I haven't identified the expo_iso address yet.

Thanks for the quick input, @0dan0. Are there other people who were active in past mod efforts?

@0dan0 and the rest of the community, is it worth putting together of list of what's desirable to change in the stock firmware D and what's less needed now? From what I can, the only mod you've made that's not as necessary is the 1600x1200 adjustment, but the rest seem worth porting. I'd like...

I believe @0dan0 posted a revision of @Deano 's dover to fit his lens mods better. @Deano has a different lens spacer in place if I remember correctly.

@0dan0, I can confirm that the ERR:UIFlowWndMovie_OnTimer() Record400MinTimeOut 0 is "normal" for stock D. I would often get continuous motor on some firmware changes I tried to make, but not with stock D firmware. This is strange---sounds like a self-check/diagnosis is failing. Do any settings...

@0dan0 , maybe I missed it in your notes but how did you update Qp in previous mods?

Understood. I would like any insights you might have @0dan0 on adjustments to Qp---is that easy enough to swap out as a constant?

@0dan0 I'm not sure where you're at with diagnosing the hardware issues you've having, but I'm happy to look into the crash if you want to share the current RBN and C++ files you're in dev with. As I mentioned in an earlier post, specifically with the histogram, I had a lot of crashes that...

@0dan0, did you capture the crash dump in the serial console? Curious which mod you were testing and how far you got into capture before the crash.

@0dan0 did you open the case to make sure there weren't any loose connections with wiring? I know you know what you're doing hardware wise with the mods---it seems to me that there is a diagnostic check at the start of the boot. Odd that you're not getting anything over the serial...

This may be slightly off topic, but I'm not a fan of the rewind capability on the Kodak Reels. I have 8mm film viewers that I use to manually rewind, but I came across this nice 3D printable to build a manual rewinder: https://www.printables.com/model/665925-8mm-and-16mm-manual-cine-film-winder

Those are sweet metal rollers for sure! They almost look like they were salvaged from an 8mm projector. I made a post earlier this week about updating the posts to rollers. I measured the stock posts with digital calipers and got nylon washers and spacers at the local Ace Hardware, where I...

@0dan0 , I know you just got your D unit yesterday---have you had any luck confirming the expo_iso address yet? In the hist.c code, I kept running into crashes with the histo_rgb_image value at the start of the calc_histogram function, and as I don't fully understand how the hist[] array works...

For anyone doing dev work or just wants a "front accessible" SD card slot, I bought on of these SD card extension ribbons on Amazon and I find it very helpful: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D8HXW4RP?ref=fed_asin_title
