Description
Need to navigate your XRP out of you line of site? Want to see the world from your robots perspective? Now you can with this Arducam 2mp spi camera mount for the XRP platform.
Two versions are available. The first mounts the camera module on the front mount and you can route the wires through the rectangular hole in the mount. The second mounts the camera module behind the mount and has a circular hole for the lens to stick through.
They both require minimal supports to print.
While you cannot stream video directly from the XRP, you can set it up as a web server and view through the eyes of the robot with any web browser on your phone or laptop.
To setup the camera module, you will need to wire it into the Raspberry Pi Pico W that is at the heart of the XRP platform.
The following articles go into more depth on the wiring and the code needed to make it work with a Raspberry Pi Pico W.
