Saturn@Raspberry Pi NoIR Camera V2/Nikkor AF 300mm f4

Saturn photo and video by Raspberry Pi NoIR Camera V2 x Nikkor AF 300mm f4, connected with Canon EF Lens adapter for Raspberry Pi and Nikon-EOS adapter.

Remark about aperture:
Most modern lens have aperture controlled by camera body, no aperture ring on lens body. The aperture is set minimum without camera. So, make sure your lens have manual aperture control on lens body.

No brand made in China Raspberry Pi NoIR Camera Module

It's a No brand made in China Raspberry Pi NoIR Camera Module:

Basically it have the same specification of official Raspberry Pi NoIR v1.3, with different lens and lens housing. Come with lens marked "3.6mm IR 1080P". User can adjust focus and have to adjust focus. The lens and lens housing is in m12-mount, user can change to other lens easily, and even replace other housing of c/cs-mount, to use other lens using on cctv.

About replacing lens housing:
The center-to-center distance of the mounting holes is ~18mm, It's easy to find replacement of m-12 mount (or c/cs-mount). The official Raspberry Pi Camera Module is ~21mm, I can't find any replacement, or adapter. But if you are going to replace the lens and housing, you have to concern the height of the housing. There are many lens, may have different lens-to-focus plane distance.

Gears:
- WaveShare Raspberry Pi Camera Module: It's a made in China Raspberry Pi Camera Module using the same 5-megapixel sensor of Official Raspberry Pi Camera Module 1.3, OV5647. But with a easy replace lens housing.
- CS Lens housing, to replace the original lens housing of the Camera Module, to change it to CS-mount. (The original house is M12 mount)
- AI-CS adapter, to connect Nikon (or Nikkor) lens to CS mount.
- Nikkor AF 300mm f4 ED tele lens.

Check the Vendor ID and Product ID of attached USB devices in Raspberry Pi/Raspbian

To check the Vendor ID and Product ID of attached USB devices in Raspberry Pi/Raspbian Jessie (and also other Linux), we can use the commands dmesg and lsusb.

This video show how to do it in case Arduino Uno is connected to Raspberry Pi 2/Raspbian jessie. Also show the device name, ttyACM0.

The Moon, by Pi telecamera

Photo and video of The Moon by Pi telecamera - WaveShare Raspberry Pi Camera module connect to Nikkor AF 300mm/f4 tele lens.

The setup same as in the next post: Saturn, Jupiter & Mars@WaveShare Pi Camera/Nikkor AF 300mm f4

This post show how to build a Raspberry Pi Telescope using:
- Nikkor AF 300mm f4 ED
- AI-C mount adapter (Nikkor Lens to C-mount)
- C-M12
- WaveShare Raspberry Pi Camera Module

Why use WaveShare Camera Module, not official?
Because WaveShare Camera Module build with M12 mount, come with removable fisheye lens. It's easy to connect to any DSLR lens with adapter.

Here show the resulting photos:

Compare with the photo by the same lens (Nikkor AF 300mm f4 ED) on Nikon DSLR D700

raspistill error while loading shared libraries: libbrcmGLESv2.so

Today, I re-install Raspberry Pi 2 with Raspbian Jessie, and update software/firmware:
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt upgrade
$ sudo rpi-update

And try to take still photo using raspistill, error reported while loading libbrcmGLESv2.so:
raspistill: error while loading shared libraries: libbrcmGLESv2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

But I still can take photos using Python.

I still can record video using raspivid, but cannot play with omxplayer, with error of:
/usr/bin/omxplayer.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libbrcmGLESv2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I guest it is related to updated firmware. Anybody know how?

Updated@2016-07-07: This problem self-fixed by updating firmware with:
$ sudo rpi-update

Waveshare 3.5" 320*480 Raspberry Pi LCD Display Module

It's a Waveshare Raspberry Pi LCD Display Module 3.5inch 320*480 TFT Resistive Touch Screen Panel using SPI Interface. The seller provide pre-built image can boot Raspberry Pi directly, and also driver for for Raspbian Jessie.

This video show how to install driver on Raspberry Pi 2 running current Raspbian Jessie, 2016-05-27-raspbian-jessie.


As usually, setup your Raspberry Pi with Raspbian Jessie image.
Update software and firmware:
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt upgrade
$ sudo rpi-update
(Reboot if need)

The web page http://www.waveshare.net/wiki/3.5inch_RPi_LCD_(A) provide download link of the driver, currently 树莓派LCD驱动：160520.

树莓派驱动----支持2016-05-10-raspbian-jessie镜像，支持Raspberry pi 3 model B 该驱动不支持2016-05-10之前的raspbian镜像
(Raspberry Pi driver - support 2016-05-10 Raspbian Jessie image, support Raspberry Pi 3B.
This driver NOT support image before 2016-05-10)

Un-pack the downloaded file, and run the installer. For 3.5 inch display, enter:
$ ./LDC35-show

The Raspberry Pi will reboot, and display on the 3.5" LCD Display. ~ Finished, so easy.
