Feature Requests

Page to document requests, and assess whether they are achievable

Hardware Modifications

WiFi/BT Jam - No

Unfortanately 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.

PT-Thrifty: Better quality LTC output - In progress

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
