Everyone, It's been an honor posting with you all. This site has been a fantastic crossover world of all my interests and brought me plenty of new ones.
Made friends, launched my engineering career from here, found the crew that I hold near and dear to my heart and braindumped my ramblings that for some reason people like

So you all remember back in 2020 when I had that thread on the cheap as chips $20 HDMI capture card that BLEW UP big time?
Well guess what? I'm back with another, this time it's next generation and better than before!
Image You'll remember I cracked open this "USB 3.0" unit that was MS2109 based, that ended up being just a blue USB 2.0..... Image

Aight, guess I'll write about that whole @MarkRober class mess.
Honestly $249 for dubious at best "how to be an engineer" is not a winning move when you can learn the real craft for free or a kite string budget on your own and spin up a basic lab for that cost. 1/? I'm not some joe public saying this either, as someone who taught himself the craft and learned it via mentors and driveby advice in the common areas of hackerspaces and twitter while on a kite string budget for YEARS AND YEARS, I learned FAR more just futzin around 2/?

Oh god I found another CoolThing:tm: and am debating spending $200 on it to do a REAL wonk teardown and posting of high res photos. Yes, it is missile related. Early era which should be interesting.

Oh yeah its stencil time and first test board build day.
Fingers crossed everything boots up correctly! Image That looks GOOOOOD not @GregDavill level but good nonetheless Image

Got one of those "camlink" USB converters because I was curious about em, and WHOAH I was shocked. UVC output, 20ms delay and signal looks to be properly grabbing 1080P@30. Single chip solution under a small sink and costs under $20. What in the heck is this. I'll prob dump the eeprom that's on board, and take a look at the part number of the chip, bet there's gonna be no datasheets though.

Alright, time for a crash course in Signals Intelligence.
Multiple agencies run ISR birds on a variety of platforms, from high wing cessnas to business jet airframes. These do Imaging Surveillance and Reconnaisance and hold on station usually doing large circles 1/? Usual loadout is a EO/IR gimbal allowing for Electro-Optical (Visible bands) imagery in addition to IR (FLIR/Thermal) and sometimes even SWIR (if they have big bux in the bank). Multispectral sensing gives far wider observation capabilities due to not being impeded by smoke 2/?
