When a practically middle aged bloke gets the zoomies 🧙‍♂️

Small flying stuff

See if we ignore that most of the parts are version 3, it all 'just fits' and neatly clips together.
It's even not insanely hard to route the ribbon cable and fit together 🙂

Not for simple capture / streaming, but I'll be maxing it out and it'll be inside a closed case, I guess we'll see :)

(sadly the fan can't go at the back without some more creativity, that's where the charge port is, right on the edge of the pcb..)

I need to stop procrastinating and work on the software, but for the physical bits it's a nice change

No idea if I can power the fan from the pi's gpio, might just hardwire that

And in theory, this whole pod just slides into a case on some rails (which of course I haven't designed yet :)

Why yes, the way the pi bracket perfectly holds the camera cable in was definitely a conscious design choice and not at all a happy accident 🙂😎

It's like when you first learn to code you write a whole bunch of spaghetti and huge functions.

Except when you code up a bug it means your screw holes don't align, or you can't print the object without supports, or have to get out the drill for a bugfix 😅
