In the context of the camera modules above, what would you wire the pins into? Surely a Pi, running Linux?

- bigiain 2y agoYou kinda cheat. There's a bunch of dedicated hardware/firmware that you use to run the camera module. That lets a fairly simple microcontroller and code to mostly ignore the electrical details of the camera, and just abstract that away so you can just send commands to the camera via pre existing libraries, then deal with the data representing an image. Here's a reasonable overview: https://lastminuteengineers.com/getting-started-with-esp32-cam/ https://lastminuteengineers.com/getting-started-with-esp32-c...
- tetris11 2y agoOh wow, so that tiny chip can run a whole webserver with bluetooth and wifi, programmed purely using arduino. Pretty cool!
- bigiain 2y agoCraziest thing about it is, you can get one including the camera for under $10: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006299363624.html https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006299363624.html
