In the latest version of Hugin, the functionality of Autopano is built right in, which simplifies things a lot. You might need to install Autopano thru Synaptic to get the plugins, but it’s working for me with Jaunty

RE: Lux
“Vista´s solution is much easier.”

Splicing together panoramics in Vista is like growing corn w/ fertilizer made from oil. It seems cheap/easy now, but comes at a huge price later on.

Thanks for your tutorial, first time i start to download an application, run into some problems (no enfuse…), troubleshoot it, run the application and get a result in less than an evening! Brilliant.

[...] (in association with TheGimp). They are not perfectly easy to use, so I advise you to check the s1axter’s guide to Linux panoramas. It even explains how to avoid a Hugin installation bug by manually adding Enblend, then describes [...]

Thank you the source code, good page and good game…
Can you recommend me a good freeware basic program, which can use this kind of basic (not the newer one) and save it into *.exe?

Nice little project. Very similar to what I’m currently working on. My regulator uses a DC barrel jack for using a wall-wart. Although I do like the idea of throwing a rectifier in there, I currently only have a diode. I’ve also added a power switch. The board is the basis for a modular prototyping system I’m working on, similar to the Arduino/TinkerKit combination. One nice thing about your approach is the cost. I don’t think I could sell mine for less than $12. Anyhoo, just wanted to give you a thumbs-up for getting your stuff out there, whereas I’m forever stuck in the design phase

Trencher brings up a very interesting insight- many folks have wall warts for devices they no longer use. The rectifier addition would allow easy adaptation to other devices.

Thanks for this EZ looking circuit,

W.M.

Why not throw a rectifier in there and have a idiot proof voltage input as well as being able to use ac wall warts too. Just a thought.

Aaron, you only need a diode across the regulator if the input can be short-circuited, and the output has some relatively big capacitors. Here the input stays floating if is is disconnected.

Anyway a small but pretty useful project. What you could do too is modify a standard 3-4.5-6-7.5-9-12V power supply to output a more useful and more stable 3.3V and 5V instead of 3V and 4.5V.
