Microcontroller - Putting It All Together

(reserving spot for final setup)
Now it's time to put all the parts together.
I have the computer interface, software, firmware, and the hardware.

List of materials:
(1) Computer
(1) Camera
(1) Basic Stamp Microcontroller
(1) Photogate Trigger (when an object breaks a light beam the camera takes a picture)
(1) Bowl of water
(1) Funnel full of water (water flow controlled by a servo)

As you can see from this picture, it's an elaborate setup just to capture a drop of water the moment it hits the bowl of water. Meh.... it's what I do :)


Final Result:
Here are some of the pictures that were taken thanks to the help from the microcontroller.
