EyESPy32 - 180 Camera
Product development example
Cheap looks / Looks Cheap
You ever get that feeling that someone is watching you with a <$20 camera setup?
well it feels pretty good....when it's you.
If you work in industry you learn quickly enough to watch you're back....and more particulaly your work space/workstation.
It can bring paranoia to another level when you find your main spreadsheet missing, or your data has been adjusted.
But those days of intra-corperate sabotage can be easily monitored with a simple ~$10 development board widely available:
the ESP32-Cam.
Eye of the Beholder
However the freely available models online are a bit spartan in design, are leave the dev board exposed to the elements.
The available design is an encapsulated ellipsoid -like case; suspended with a wishbone.
The design has spacing for 2x SG90 type servo motors to be mounted in order to provide an X and Y rotational motion.
(Designed in FreeCAD and Solidworks)
Acceptably built
The design is of-coarse free and available on the usual platforms as well as on the provided github.
The assembly instructions are as provided and available for download.
Assembly Steps:
1) Download files and 3D Print body
2) Clean prints
3) Insert SG90 servo motors - place lower servo wires through wishbone and solder signal wire to esp32
and solder interal servo signal wire to esp32.
4) Cut 5V and 0V wire solder to esp32 and solder to servo wires. Send wire out side hole.
5) Insert ESP32 Cam
6) Insert Servo Block in center (front in last worked for me)
ensure servo head is co radial with body pivot hole.
7) Insert Other side and encapsulate body.
8) Place body in wish-bone with hex hole (left in pic) side aligning with servo horn.
9) Insert hex key servo horn (left), insert top piece (right) above wire.
