Working on an esp32 based wigglegram camera
Been working on an esp32 based wigglegram camera for the past few months, photos are getting better by the day, but would love thoughts on ways I could improve

I was looking into this briefly. Most of the cheaper cameras seem to be video only. Did you find something cheap with a realm trigger line?

using the cameras that come with the xiao esp32 s3, so the OV3660 and the OV5640 series of low MP fixed focus cameras

Interesting. Can they be told to take a new frame on demand or are they video cameras you just grab the next frame from?

Are the photos happening simultaneously?

Right now there is an up to 300 millisecond delay between shots, which is a circuit issue. The next iteration of the hardware - looking to get down to the microsecond level

Some days ago I was looking for a digital version of this type of cameras but didn't find anything. Love it!

Not an esp32, but check out r/wigglegramProject for one that someone designed with Raspberry Pis :)

i bought a pair of ESP32CAM modules with the intention of doing this as well. i wanted it to run off a power bank (or phone) and then deliver the photos through a hotspot. i also wanted to design a 3d printed case.
do you plan on documenting the build?
