Camera with automatic slate

Camera with automatic slate

Hello! The inspiration for this camera came from the need to add something unusual at the birthday party of my daughter.

The camera works as follows: There is a distance sensor, ultrasonic, installed on top of the "lens"that continuously checks if something goes ahead. If passed, it activates the slate and then "roll" the film begins to run for a few seconds, giving the impression of actually filming. After waiting a few seconds to restart the reading and repeat the cycle. The kids loved it.

Nice idea - I can see the kids loving this.
I laughed when I saw you needed 90 degree 'knees'.  In English we call them 'elbows', which are the bend in the arm, not the leg.

You funny english :-)
In Dutch we call them 'knietjes' (little knees)
'elleboog' (elbow) is reserved for that similar shape in Macaroni :-)

The translation is amazingly good for the main text (although it loses a few words in the parts list).  Google must be particularly good at Portuguese to English.
