This post will demonstrate how to use OpenStitching, a python process for stitching images into a panoramic scene.  Details about OpenStitching can be found here, https://github.com/OpenStitching/stitching.  The manual process involved when using Hugin or Image Composite Editor are more time consuming.  The OpenStitching process can be automated to generate numerous panoramic images without the need to be in front of a computer. The OpenStitching example above was a series of images taken with the ESP32-Cam module on an earlier project. …

This post will expand on the topic of tiling video that was covered in this post, https://www.cloudacm.com/?p=3026.  The video sourced in this post are directional and is well suited for creating a 360 degree view of surroundings.

When working with device electronics, it’s important to work within voltage and signal limits. Designing circuits that interact with those devices need to have expected results. There can be several stages in a circuit design where voltages or signals are changed. It can be extremely challenging to design without some kind of measurement at each stage. Having a tool that can measure multiple stages at the same time in realtime is key. Fortunately, this can be done for little cost…
