Fully Automated Lego Pinhole Camera
We've our share of Lego cameras before, but I think this is the first time DIYP features a fully automated Lego made pinhole camera.
Lego Enthusiast Bshikin build a camera from Lego parts and added quite a bit of automation using Lego Mindstorms (Lego for building machines). And the code is available via Google Code.
The Camera features include automated exposure meter, automated shutter and mechanical film advance. The Pretty nifty for a few Lego bricks.

Nice!!
I kicked off a similar project a couple of months ago. Except for the light meter, I've been able to automate most of the camera. Last week, I made the first test strips which you can see at www.abiteof.com.
As you can see from my blog, I am projecting on a strip of photographic paper, removing the need for negatives but adds the difficulty of guessing exposure times:)
If anyone has any ideas of timing exposures when using paper directly...?
