$20 Document Camera

thingiverse

I'm a kindergarten teacher. I've got to hack a way to improve distance learning. I need to see what my students are working on while they work. These document cameras might help me see what my students are working during our distance learning classes. This print is PLA. One designed is around an HBV-1805 Camera module--It cost around $15. I miss labeled the case by calling it a 5mp case. The HBV is only 1MP. This module is plug and play--Your computer will see it as a camera and works great with Zoom. This camera can be found at : https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QV3PPTB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I designed a second camera around the OV5640 camera--This is a 5MP camera that has much better resolution. It cost around $30 shipped from Bangood. It can be bought here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33044806307.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.777d3c00z3pXOz&mp=1 You will need a 2M x20mm bot and a 2M nut. You will also need a USB extension cord and a regular classroom student whiteboard. You could go with the laptop camera witch costs around $3, but it has super low resolution. I have the .stl for the laptop camera housing listed above too.
