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.
Added ball bearings and an 8mm shaft
Completed rotor disc in CAD. Researched about what wire to use.
Researched about the generator, searched up parts- selected the magnets i want to use, noted it down.
went to onshape, made CAD of the magnet, and tested a 12 magnet circular design.
