Show HN: Modular Pi Cam
11 by jcun4128 | 1 comments on Hacker News.
This is the third camera I've designed/made around the raspberry pi parts/ecosystem. The repo has all the STL files, parts list, most wiring diagrams. The first one was the custom Pi Zero HQ cam which was featured on a Hackaday article/podcast. The modular version (aside from being able to swap cameras) mostly has the latest software. Recently I added the ability to process videos in the background (ffmpeg merges wav/mp4 files together). The camera uses crop-zoom-panning for dialing in shots with manual lenses. The menu is created by layering images/text with PIL. Live preview is a little slow as it's SPI based. If anybody is a pro at python I'd appreciate insight on better code. I've mostly just followed a context-based folder layout regarding where everything is. I have not added custom/manual settings yet, it uses auto settings for the most part except for when you use a V3 camera module (which has electronic aperture) then it uses the d-pad to set the focus/diopter value. I have another camera in mind/future build although it's more tailored for videos. Some sample video I've shot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkjXkQD0j9w Assembly video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXG-MoIw93Q At some point I will rewrite the code for a new general purpose DIY camera software from what I've learned, that'll be an undertaking.
