That's gorgeous Scott! Here is a similar subject in color :)
Bought this roll from a local CVS store which felt awesome in a weird sort of way. I can't recall how long it has been since I bought film by just walking into a store. Was also excited to hear that this particular CVS sells a few rolls every day :)

An updated picture of AgOMatic II - my BW film agitation machine. Back in Jan 2007 I started thinking what it would take to build this version of AgOMatic. By June of 2007 I had a prototype to start working on the software. I got this version completed by the end of 2007. So almost 10 years later it's a little worse for wear with fixer stains and all but it's still working.

A total DIY project with home made single layer circuit boards. It has lots of network capability including a wireless access point. My first AgOMatic was built in 1995 on a budget using an AC motor and controlled via the parallel port from a computer. This version I spent considerably more money and used a stepper motor with a serial controller. All high level solution components so all I had to do is integrate them. The name is a spoof from an old TV commercial. Ag is for silver. Here is a video making it:

Tuco,
Just saw the video.
Very impressive and professional build. Beautifully done video.
Thank you for sharing.
May you develop many fine photos with your AgOMatic II !

BTW it also loads the film, right ? The video did not show that.

Thanks. No, it doesn't load the film. It only agitates it. That's not much of a task but enough to free me up to do other things especially when one of my developers needs to be agitated every 15 seconds.
