Feature Requests

Page to document requests, and assess whether they are achievable

Hardware Modifications

WiFi/BT Jam - No

Unfortunately due to the project architecture this is not possible. The CPU has no direct control, or knowledge, of the precise timing of the LTC output.

It might be possible to offer some WiFi interface to the configuration, ie changing FPS without the using the on-device menu or connecting a USB cable.

PT-Thrifty: Better quality LTC output - prototype Rev3 PCB out for production

PT-Thrifty functions OK, but could be better. The (very cheap) implementation 'looks' a little odd with some recorders. I plan to add an additional Op-Amp in the next PCB design

Firmware Modifications

Sync from RTC - under review

We may be able to achieve, but I suggest that we use an incoming 1PPS from the RTC as 'truth'. We should also have some way of setting the clock.

Note: this would only be 'valid' for integer FPS (30, 25, 24) and none-drop frame. The others have weird timing wrt a wall-clock.

Sync from GPS - under review

50 and 60 fps

Does this also need 59.96, drop-frame, etc?

Bigger LEDs

This should be a simple change: https://smittytone.net/docs/ht16k33_segmentbig.html

This would be more complicated: https://smittytone.net/docs/ht16k33_matrix.html
