“Fantastic camera. Using it in my pigrow garden automation time-lapse grow box taking regular pictures of moss and lycan slowly growing. 3d printed a case with a glass cover to protect it from water, very easy to design for with all the info on sizes and positions supplied - I'll post my case to thingiverse and already lots of useful ones on there.
The sutofocus is really good, very easy to control in python and have been able to get really clear macro images and regular pictures. If you're new to picams then start with this one as focusing the old v1 and v2 with the plastic cone is tedious and this has great quality.
I'll show the timelapse on my robogromo YouTube once I've finished coding and installing it.”
“so far I haven't been able to get it to work with Ubuntu 23.10/23.04. I had other issues with pre-release version of 24.04. Hoping things this work better with the final 24.04 version. In the worst case I may have to use the debian os for the pi 5 and this camera module. Hoping it works with the final ubuntu 24.04 when it releases later this week.
I assume I will eventually get this to work when I figure out the proper drivers, configuration etc...”
“New camera module with excellent quality pictures and video. Regret that the new module is too big to fit where earlier module fitted in the case. Some minor prefabrication required to increase window to 10.8 mm. otherwise cheap quick and reliable.”
