  1. Here's a quick write up on my various Quality of Life improvement for working with the #intrepidcompactenlarger . I still need to add a couple of the images and fill in some details, but I think this covers all the major issues.

  5. Have added some docs with "screenshots" to my #IntrepidCompactEnlarger firmware repo. Now also includes some install instructions. At some point I guess I'll have to do a video showing it working.
    (edit: added an actual downloadable firmware to the releases page)

  10. Good day of #IntrepidCompactEnlarger firmwarehacking today. I got the LED colour/brightness control working for test strip mode. Everything left to do is bugs, UX niggles or tweaks. None of it needs significant RAM or code. The finishing line is there, and #tinyGo got me there in less than 32KB of flash and 2KB of RAM!
    The next big effort will be writing the manual.
    I doubt another human will ever use this.

  14. My #IntrepidCompactEnlarger firmware is nearing "feature complete" in terms of what I originally envisioned. There's still bugs and some rough edges, but it functions well.
    Today I've wired up multi-exposures, and the first attempt at controlling the light colour per-exposure. If I can get per-exposure RGB sorted I'll be able to do all the things I wanted including tri-colour printing.

  18. Finally got an f-stop test strip mode working on my #IntrepidCompactEnlarger . Not tried in anger yet, but the calculated exposures look right. I've been using the existing f-stop printing support without the test strips for a while with nice results so hopefully all is good. Still a few TODOs, but this now meets my original goals (with extras)

  22. Had a couple of hours of #darkroom time this morning and thought I'd have a go at my first print from one of the 1971 Ilford glass plates. The base fog brought exposure time up, but I think I've over developed the plates. I think I could get a better print with a bit more time, though this view isn't really worth the effort

  27. Spent the morning #Darkroom 'ing. I *massively* over exposed this negative, places my shadows on +2 instead of -2, but it's won't of my favourite versions of this scene, and unlikely to be repeated. F-stop printed, and my first serious split grade with dodge and burn. Not quite there, but close

  31. A neat #Darkroom hack courtesy of DistPhoto (on YouTube). If you need to make "accurate" dodge/burn tools, put something on your easel , then rest your card on it and draw around your shapes. Very Handy!

  39. First time using my intrepid 4x5 enlarger today. And also my first time using my (unfinished) f-stop firmware. The strip on the right is 10s +)- 3 third stops.

  43. Discords are weird little social bubbles. I'm on a photography one, the public face of which has a not-super-positive review of the #IntrepidCompactEnlarger, that includes some completely valid technical criticisms.
    The prevailing belief of the users on there, and their repeated statements in response to any mention of the widget, is that "what they've heard", is that the thing is essentially non-functional (I'm being hyperbolic, but to a man they write it off).
    Honestly, the thing works.
