This project is something I will finish as I have a real need for it. I submitted it to Hack A Day around the time I started work on the project so it would be considered as an entrant in a 3 week mini contest was being run. To enter the three week mini contest I had to mark the project as one to be considered for a price in the HackADayPrize 2015 contest.

I've been making good progress on the project in the limited time I have available to work on it. This past couple of weeks I was dealing with some computer system upgrades and administration tasks. Now it is less than an hour in which to submit a video as part of the HAD contest requirements.

I'm a maker, not a videographer.

I have one very basic video camera but there isn't enough light at my workbench for it to get a picture where you would be able to see what you are looking at. My SLR camera can record video for up to 30 seconds but there isn't enough light at the bench for it either. It was suggested to make a slideshow video with voice over. I have recently installed Lightworks on my computer but I've never used it to create or edit video. No time to figure it out in time to make a video with it.

Based on the published rules, not having a video probably puts me out of contention for this years Hack A Day Prize. In the end it doesn't really matter to me. I will be continuing work on this project prize or no prize.
