TeeHee (Wireless Ethernet Bridge)

$500.00 – $600.00

TeeHee was the first wireless bridge built specifically for DIT’s. With an OpenWrt-based OS, integrated mounting points and comprehensive documentation for newcomers, it ushered in a new era for camera control. It remains the most robust made-for-set wireless bridge for camera control with its unique combination of open-source hardware and software that gives you endless configuration possibilities—for camera control and beyond. It can even be configured as an access point!

Features

  • Gigabit RJ45 ports for wide compatibility with all major cinema cameras, including every body listed in the Camera Gallery

  • 30 second boot time; UPS variant offers zero-downtime camera control

  • Dual-band (2.4 GHz / 5 GHz) WiFi connectivity

  • 5-50V 2-Pin Lemo power input

  • Integrated threaded female mounting points: 1/4”-20 and 3/8”-16, each with 45-degree anti-twist pin holes for eight discrete orientations

All of my products are open source—even TeeHee! Here’s what you need to make this yourself:

Bill of Materials (One unit per component unless otherwise specified)

Assembly Instructions

  1. Remove HDMI port from R5C
  2. Adhere vinyl to inner lid to prevent inadvertent metal-on-metal PCB contact
  3. Pre-solder all PCB’s together: 50mm for UPS>Pololu, 70mm for UPS to R5C, 100mm for Pololu to Lemo 0B
  4. Attach antenna pigtails to R5C wireless module
  5. Insert Light plastic 1 inside enclosure
  6. Insert R5C into enclosure; secure with screws
  7. Insert light plastic 2 inside enclosure

At this time, I am not selling any “kits” to assemble TeeHee yourself, so you will have to source machined enclosures from your own vendor. Eventually I would like to design a 3D printed enclosure that is robust and reliable—but, ya know, only so much time. If you’re interested in voluntarily designing a 3D printed enclosure for this project and sharing it with the community, please contact me.

To see what tools I use to make this item, please review my Workshop Setup.
