tinycam

This is a simple point-and-shoot camera, mostly an excuse to play with the new Raspberry Pi High Quality camera and maybe also a simple PCB for battery management. The code is a very simple python script wrapping raspistill. CAD is in FreeCAD, and any PCBs designed will be KiCAD.

Hardware requirements:

• Raspberry Pi Zero W ($25)
• Samsung Evo+ 32 GB microSD card ($9)
• iUniker 2.8" display ($23)
• Raspberry Pi High Quality camera ($50)
• Telephoto lens for HQ camera ($63)
• Adafruit PowerBoost 1000 Charger ($20)
• tinycam PCB (~$35 to build)

next TODO:

• v2 of chassis to support button trigger and battery management
• auto upload to gphotos a la eshmu/gphotos-upload
• support sleep / wake mode
• gallery mode (for local delete)

maybe later TODO:

• support video capture mode
• Qt overlay on top of preview for mode switching or adjusting 'manual' controls
