Building a camera: the plan was simple until it wasn’t

We built a DIY camera with the Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera using C-mount and CS--mount lenses. The Raspberry Pi is a super tiny computer that is highly programmable. People have used these to program everything from smart mirrors, to portable arcades, to COVID-19 case counters, and even greenhouses. They are tiny boxes that - if you know how to code - can do pretty much anything. Here’s our video showing the challenges for someone without that coding experience.

It's so good to hear someone says they finally appreciate the software of a product, especially when they've experienced the "pain". I love coding and I make web apps for the most part, and so many things that the user have on their screen is taken for granted. Literally every interaction, feature, animation, text is painstakingly researched, programmed and optimized by so many talented people to make the experience seamless.

i felt the genuine excitement for Becca when she finally got to the Hardware part. i love soldering, gluing, assembling, cutting, melting plastic, wiring. HATE downloading scripts, looking up parameters, mysterious errors, Linux not booting. so i totally get it. P.S. you're not the first to bring suspect looking keyboards out on the sidewalk here in NYC so don't feel bad.

I should mention... As an electronic engineer, please don't think that developing camera hardware is as easy as that, maybe the case... From the CMOS sensors required, the noise filters that get the signals from the sensors, the lenses to manipulate the light, that's where the hardware complexity lies. But cool project nontheless ;)
