I finished all the enclosures/attachments. I’m still adamant about using the 3.7v Lithium polymer battery because using 2 Li-ion 18650 batteries would cause the glasses to tip heavily (I’ve tried it). So to compensate for the low voltage I’ll be using a DC-DC boost converter to boost the voltage to 5v, then connecting the output to the esp32-cam for stable voltage. This prevents the need of using the heavy 18650 batteries and I don’t need to buy new ones. I also added an opening and bump where the camera can attach to.

I’ll be sending the enclosure stl files to my 3d printer and seeing how they’ll fit to the glasses and components. If the esp32-cam doesn’t fit, I’m thinking of simply clipping it to the front of the glasses.

Modelled the battery enclosure attachment. I took advantage of the gaps inside the frame to add a screw and fix it into place, also on the top and bottom of the frame to ensure it stays. I also partially modelled the esp32-cam but decided that was enough for today.

I’m planning to use an esp32-cam to stream video to my browser at full screen, then have lapse record that tab. To power it I’ll use a 803450 3.7v 1500mAh Lithium polymer battery cause its rechargeable and lightweight.

I wired my Arduino Uno and L298N Motor driver (yes I know its bad but I already bought it) to some DC motors I bought. I also coded (using the Arduino IDE) some commands for the motors but (for some unknown reason) the code took forever to upload (10 min before I aborted it) and I assume that it was broken somehow so I’ll need to buy a new Arduino Uno :(
