The Arduino monitors the battery level and indicates its charge on the RGB status LED. The Arduino can also trigger the camera’s shutter using an NPN transistor and 2.5mm 3 pole jack.” ...

This project uses a Raspberry Pi 2 or 3, an Arduino Uno, some servos, and a USB webcam. The end result is a camera mounted to the servo that’s controlled by the Arduino.

The Raspberry Pi intro is 10 hours and shows you everything from how to control it with Python to adding vision to your applications using a camera module.

Enrico takes us behind the lens of his PONF camera project. In this installment he is hacking the shutter mechanism of a Cannon 60D.

We’ve also looked at some of the competition. While any of those will beat the 8×8 Arduino camera, they’ll cost more and won’t give you the satisfaction of building it, either.

Raspberry Pi has just launched the Camera Module 3 Sensor Assembly for just $15. It's essentially the same as the Camera Module 3, but for smaller projects.
