well this is a job for tomorrow

ah.

oh.

hm

HA! contact cleaner to the rescue!

the corrosion was probably causing some conductivity around where there shouldn't be

there was nothing wrong with eyemodtool after all

inside the first gen eyemodule. i was not expecting the sensor to be on a removable header!

oh oof that corrosion

i really wish i could pick the brain of the people who developed the first eyemodule for technical information on how the camera works and the file format it outputs

oh, yeah, jeez. didn't think to compare with the generated b/w copy (used for displaying in the visor), it has the same waffle effect. i think the sensor itself is damaged, then. bummer

for comparison, a picture i took with the first version of eyemodtool that supported the first eyemodule's color pictures (eyemodule2 just spits out straight jpeg)

it looks about right so something was being done right but i'm wondering if it's just off enough that more extreme colors would've always been broken with my converter

sadly i never actually used the eyemodule much to compare

the first shot was taken with a visor deluxe on the cartridge version of the eyemodule software, this one on a neo with the updated version of the software (the cartridge version does not support the neo), and it looks about the same, so it's not a version issue

either i'm doing something wrong on conversion or my eyemodule has gotten damaged somehow

is this bayer interlaced somehow

starting to think eyemodule1 color pictures are not quite YUV (UYVY), and/or that the eyemodule1 color format is different depending on the version of the eyemodule software (since i only tried before on newer visors which needed a newer software than the one inside the eyemodule itself)

i accidentally overwrote the original PDB file with the pictures i took yesterday in retrieving the one with this test pattern so those are forever locked in exported funky mode

definitely something funky going on. could be eyemodtool's YUV decoder though

went outside with the #eyemodule today i think it's a little broken https://maple.pet/blog/extracting-eyemodule-pictures-in-2022

oh you got a grammar pet peeve? you should of have not said that to me
