📰 The Optocam Zero is a Raspberry Pi Zero camera you can make with store-bought parts
It has been a good last few weeks for people who like to build their own cameras. Back in late March, we checked out an open-source Raspberry Pi camera that looked like it came out of an 80s sci-fi movie, complete with different filters you can choose from. And while that was an amazing project, you can never have enough DIY cameras.
