M3 with a digital back

Gotta admire the can-do spirit at work here.

 

If some guy with a $19 disposable digital camera, a few tools, duct tape (!), and a shutter release cable can get something working. . . . (Note: "Working" is not "usable" or "good." Just "working.") Makes you wonder what a third-party developer with more resources could pull off.

 

Wonder what an X Prize equivalent would do if announced at RFF or here? :)

Brad,

 

The LTC2884 dual 14 bit, two of them as this chip has four outputs. Using this ADC I can shift the DCs of the sensor and ADC and the range of the ADC to remove the need for extra amplifiers/DC offsetters. Working at 10Msamp/sec as recomended by the sensor datasheet. Other chips are an Altera EP1C6 144TQFP FPGA to do all the clever stuff, a Micron tech MT46V32M16 dram for 'burst' storage, and in the end being put on a MMC Flash card.
