The SparkFun Bokode and An IRC Chat
An IRC Chat this afternoon and the SparkFun Bokode.
Come join the SparkFun IRC channel this afternoon at 4pm. SparkFun CEO Nathan Seidle will be attending.
About a month ago, we posted a project from the MIT Camera Culture group called the Bokode. SparkFun has recently created our very own Bokode that displays a tiny SparkFun flame and even smaller 2D barcodes. The images you see in the video are exactly what our camera sees at varying distances.
In this shot, our camera is only few feet away from our Bokode cube and we were able to resolve a dozen or so barcodes. Each pixel in the barcode is 5 microns wide!
Here is our Bokode cube. It contains the transparency film, a lens, and a red LED to illuminate the film. All we have to do is power the LED!
The projected images were printed on a plastic transparency and then mounted at a focal distance away from a lens inside of our plastic Bokode cube.
