I NEEDED a Portable Camera for the VACATION, So I Made It (ESP32-Cam Module)
Hey everyone, so I had a Jungle safari the next day and I was informed that mobile phones arent allowed to take pictures. I had no way to get a cheap digicam in the morning so I tried to make a portable one from the stuff I have lying around in my nerd boxes.
Is it the best work anyone couldve done? No. I didnt solder the 5v and GND to the esp32cam directly, and I wouldve preferred to desolder the male header from the esp32cam module. I would have also liked to pull out the reset button to a external easier to reach push button, but this is what I could pull off in the night.
I hope this still inspires you to try to fiddle around with stuff you probably already have in your boxes and build stuff you wanna have and use!
Stuff used in this build-
esp32-cam module with ftdi programmer
1000mAh 3.7v lipo battery
TP4056 charging module
5v buck boost converter module
female bugstrip (you might not need it if you choose to solder the connections, better for the long term)
