Many of the best cell phone sensors are off-the-shelf Sony sensors that individuals can buy in reasonable quality. The “magic” of cell phone cameras is the combination of these decent sensors, a lot of processing (that you don’t want), and

You can absolutely adjust the current for a stepper motor. Lower currents use less power, but have less torque, leading to an increased chance of missed steps. In a system like this, the motor torque becomes a linear force to move a belt —

Sure, but then you're half way to a special purpose register. And then you get to add in the logic to arbitrate writes from the GPR ports with reads from the PC-dedicated port. At which point you have more hardware complexity than just
