High Speed Solenoid Valve : Check All Check Valves High Speed Solenoid Valve
Yellow & Green III A few improvements to the water drop setup tonight: 1) Increased water pressure. I've now got about 45 in-h20 of water pressure, about 15in more than before, and it helps a lot with repeatability. 2) Better release point. Before I had a short 1.5in piece of 1/32" ID tygon tubing hanging directly off the solenoid. I've relocated the solenoid valve further away, and I'm using a steel hose reduction adapter. This is more reliably shaped (no crooked cuts), and makes it easier to mount it accurately. Before, bending in the tube would cause the drops to miss each other, and it was very difficult to straighten. 3) 90mm Tamron Macro lens! 4) A second flash For this shot, the yellow water is in a clear glass bowl. SB-600 is about 60 degrees camera left, about level with the drop, pointed straight at it. YN-460 is about 60 degrees camera right, and above, aimed at the white foamboard backdrop. Both flashes firing in manual at 1/32. The SB-600 is being triggered by custom timing electronics. The YN-460 is set as optical slave to trigger off the SB-600. Still a LOT of room for improvement here. I think I need to work on the container; the bowls I've been using are a bit small. setup highspeed
This is the setup for high speed photography that I am trying to create using the Arduino. On top of the arduino, I have attached a general purpose hobby shield which allows me to connect 4 IR line sensors, motors and servos. I used one IR line sensor as a beam detector for my project. When the beam is cut by a water drop passing through the U clip (from a meccano construction box), it triggers the arduino code which fires the flash unit after a fixed delay. Now, I am working on making this setup into a permanent one. Will also work on the code and add a GUI to select delays for the flash trigger. Also, will add the code and control mechanism for the solenoid valve to control the drop rate. Also in the pipeline is the control code for firing the camera.
