Modular Composite Photo Memory Microcontroller SUPPORTS COLOR PHOTOS

Description
If you use the controller in your creation's, please give credit, this was no easy task.

(the video system used 2 frequencies so make sure 'chosen frequency' and -1 'chosen frequency' is open (so if set as 2, 1 will also be used

the color save has a short delay before saving to let memory banks exit FoV

For best quality, make sure monitor quality is high and as little light shining on the memory bank

To avoid Photo whiting out when in color, do not look at the memory bank directly, keep it out of your FoV

To avoid whiting out in Black and White, do not shine bright lights onto the memory bank, lightning may also cause whiteouts

This is also untested at ranges over 1+km, but it should work just fine, for color, make sure memory banks are build with viewer

Known issue's:
1. if multiple banks have a photo stored, deleting one and switching to one with a photo will be un-viewable
(Workaround) On an empty channel, press save and wait 3 seconds then switch to the stored photo and it should be viewable (this may not be fixable without some full rework and i am NOT doing that any time soon)

@NightOwl I have created a example build to show how this works.

But to answer your question, when saving in color, the memory bank must be placed on a track that moves the bank out of the viewers FoV, color photo's work only because monitors do not update when out of FoV but still display there last frame, the controller is able to do everything needed, it moves the banks out of FoV and starts a timer, it should save right after the bank exits FoV, but if you look at the bank, it will ruin the photo and go back to 1 bit like quality

the controller is made to be a all-in-one controller, being able to control memory banks and the camera with black and while and color, i made a example build on how to use it and the general idea on hoe to build it https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/?id=3046521526
