Stan - Good deeds are appreciated!
I was unable to get a lens combination yet to capture the gate with a dslr. Just can't get below the stepper motor. The microscope camera will and it has both 4k and 2k capture.
Like I said before I don't expect it to be a solution. No aperture on the lens and no exposure controls in software. It may have been cheap because it seems to be older and has lost support. The software has exposure controls, but they are grayed out. There is a wireless remote that I will open and see if the Hawkeye's trigger can be tied to the button.
Good luck on the battle of the led color. This looks very technical. Physically replacing the Wolverine's light source look like big challenge too. The led is so small. Are there more color precise leds?
My original plan for the dslr was to create another "gate" to left of existing gate, leaving the original to pull the film. There would be room for another light source there. The one I've been using is also an led. The Lume Cube is supposed to be daylight balanced, but it's not. It also has too much blue, I custom white balance the camera and it seem ok.
I was wondering if the exposure has an effect on the led's color, I placed a white card perpendicular to the Wolverine's light panel. Now there is lumenance gradient. I don't know if this is useful, interesting that green and red drop out in the highlights.
This was taken with a dslr on full auto, auto white balance. The camera failed. I am able to manually white balance.
