Webcam Reuse Module

dope!

Can you add mounting points to the PCB? Maybe shared with the webcam module if it makes sense?

I added a screw hole and small notch to hold the PCB in, and I’m currently designing the enclosure so I’ll post some photos of that soon.

I will be happy with just a ffc-cable to usb adaptor as I’m thinking of using it as a camera for my 3D printer.

Could you also do such a simpler, cheaper module?

With the new, better webcam module available, I don’t see any webcam → USB to be able to use the webcam and mic separately in another system. Does anyone know of one out there? Or is this something that’d need to be built by someone?

@Josh_Cook is working on one.

Webcam Reuse Module

RP2040 Firmware has been completed and it functions and I’m able to get audio out of it! Now to work on my production level version (smaller form factor). I’ll also need to buy custom FFC cables since these cheap aliexpress ones are very intermittent. [IMG20240711163107]

Oh, neat, thanks. Hopefully that PCB can be miniaturized.

But how about if I only need the camera?

[Josh_Cook]

Prototypes arrived with FFC cable, now to finalise the enclosure and produce these modules, I forgot to specify the USB resistors in my CPL and BOM file so I had to add some bodge wires, which is why there is solder mask added to the PCB.

I’ll post another couple photos with the enclosure once it’s done

Any news? Josh, you are the best!

Any news? Josh, you are the best!

Been struggling with the firmware as usual for any of my products, same situation as my CAN bus expansion card, hardware works great but I can’t make firmware to save my life!
