I got a sort of bad breadboard- so i had to manually plug a dupont male header in and out to make it looser.
It was so tight that none of my components went in without feeling like id damage them pushing in
I made a V2 of the camera enclosure.
I think its significantly better than yesterday; looks cleaner and is a bit more ergonomic.
I modelled the entire camera in onshape; including the internal components.
I must admit- the enclosure was the hardest part.
I feel quite productive.
I drew out the rough circuit diagram in diagram.net of how the wiring/circuitry for the cam. would look like.
Today I used Lego to try to see how small I could make my retro pocketcam.
I first drew out the dimensions of the components (3.7v 500mah LiPo, ESP32CAM + OV5640 Camera, IP5310 Boost Converter)
I then opened my big box o’ legos and tried to match the paper sketch with appropriate pieces.
Although I did make them a tad bit bigger cause tolerances exist, I think its nice.
