A couple of the best pictures from last night.

The 'device' is still working well.

I can't wait for the IF_Led array to arrive.

Those pictures are going to be hard to beat.

It almost looks like the badger is posing for you... Maybe it has figured out what you are up to.
Smile for the camera, free food. That has never worked for me...

Me neither ...........Lol.

I am amazed at the results though. I'd like to lower the camera angle / height but doing so at the moment puts a lot of reflective flair into the pictures still, even with the diffuser. I'm really hoping the IR_Led array fixes everything.

I'm thinking of using another PIC pin set as an output to switch a transistor on and in turn switch a relay to drive the IR_Led array which is:"low power consumption - approximately 300mA". Does that sound like the best method to you?

The camera I'm using although very simple does have a 'movie mode' feature. I'm hoping to try and capture a short (the camera only takes 64MEG SD cards) 'Badger Movie'.

Maybe have a delay between the IR_array coming on and the camera trigger to give the camera time to adjust to the light... ??

Good thinking, it takes the camera a while to settle when I open the lens cover in daylight let alone pitch dark.I'll give it three seconds to start with then tweak it if necessary.

The IR_Module has arrived.....Hoorah!

I've now got 32 LED's and eight resistors to solder into the board.....Booooo! (I didn't realise it was self assembly)

Look on the bright side...
You did not order a mother board from that outfit....
