I designed a 3D printed adapter to mount the electronic components on the body of the camera but I am waiting on more light sensitive solutions to finish the piece. The module features I2C interface for the sensor configuration as well as SPI interface for camera commands and streaming of the data. Another camera from Arducan comes with a high definition 5MB (1080p, 720p) camera and replaceable lens. The pictures are saved with the raw information and converted to DNG. The camera sensor itself has a native resolution of 5MP and has a fixed focus lens. Using VNC and a virtual desktop, I also get the live feed directly from the camera to a laptop. Its 120-film produced 2-1/4-inch by 3-1/4-inch photographs. The Brownie Model 2 was launched in 1901 and made until 1935. luxCamera - The open source, 3D printed camera using Arduino controls shutter operation and. It took 2-1/4-inch square pictures on 117 roll film. Lux uses no parts from other cameras not even a lens. The camera is operated with the buttons on the LCD panel board and the resulting image is displayed on the screen. The first Brownie was a cardboard box camera with a simple meniscus lens. This uses a Raspberry Pi Zero W and a small LCD panel, both powered by a Pi Sugar battery. Ultimately, the best solution would be to manufacture a lens element that would refocus the 120 film size beam onto the small sensor mounted in the back, or a concave mirror on the back that would reflect the image onto the sensor where it is currently mounted (both of these solutions are beyond my pay grade).

I am waiting to see if a higher sensitivity chip will become available for the RPI. Quickly implement sensor nodes to send collected. Thanks to its 2MP color camera, smart 6-axis motion sensor, integrated microphone and distance sensor, it is suitable for asset tracking, object recognition and predictive maintenance.

It’s a fun project, and I’m sure I’ll complete it someday. The Arduino Nicla Vision is a ready-to-use, standalone camera for analyzing and processing images on the edge.
