    Hacking the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (New Thread)

    After having to step away from my scanning project for nearly a year, I am back on it. I have a B model, and was using 0dan0 's v6.9 with no issues. After getting everything setup, I updated to v7.7.1 for B's and updated with no issues. Right after the update, the splash screen came up and a I...

    Modding the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (Firmware Hack)

    @0dan0 I was able to get the capture to work without the darkening that I experienced in the last version. I was able to adjust white balance to get peaks to line up, and then while capturing, adjusted the EV up to 0 as the default was at -7. It brightened it up! While I am no color expert, I...

    Modding the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (Firmware Hack)

    Here is an example of mine during capture. B model v6.8 with a 32GB card. It did the same with 4GB card (just trying anything at this point). I am still willing to hook up a serial reader if I knew what needed to be captured.

    Modding the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (Firmware Hack)

    @0dan0 Since there have been no takers, I am trying to decide if I want to order the Arduino and break out the soldering gun this weekend. If I do this, what exactly would you need to help with this troubleshooting?

    Modding the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (Firmware Hack)

    Well, I was able to do some more testing on v6.8 for B model tonight and I think I can validate The Elk. I am capturing my dad's 8MM from the 40's and 50's, so very old films. First - I tested the 32GB card as I could not get it to work last night. All my cards less than 32GB work great. My...

    Modding the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (Firmware Hack)

    0dan0 - I was able to test again with 6.8 ver B tonight. I was able to somewhat validate your finding on the card size. While I could not use my 32GB card, my 16, 8 and 4 GB cards were able to capture. The 32GB gave me the rectangular X box I showed earlier. All formatted using fat32. While...

    Modding the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (Firmware Hack)

    Thanks 0dan0. So you are saying zooming in and then capturing is OK? This thread is getting long, so a little difficult to go back and review prior discussions. I thought I remembered discussion on zooming not being beneficial since it was a digital zoom. I will go back and review. I will try...

    Modding the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (Firmware Hack)

    Hello all. New guy here. Just thought I would share my experience with this excellent thread. I bought my Kodak from Amazon in July 2024 and have a serial# that begins with an A, and is A2724148BK00166. It did not match with anything in the tool from Mac84, so I tried all 3 versions of Odano's...
