ESP32-Cam Adjustable Camera Macro Mount

thingiverse

Brought a cheap ESP32-CAM board and started to play and then it became apparent that if I placed an additional lens in front of the camera it would make a great macro unit. All well and good and not so easy to hold stable so I set about making a stand. It consists of the following parts: Five 3D printed parts, Top/Bottom mount, Camera mount, turn knob and clip to hold PCB. Plywood 80mm x 250mm Base Chip board 80mm x 160mm Two rods 5mm Dia x 250mm 1 Threaded spindal and Nut 1 ESP32-CAM Neo Pixel Ring 16LED Old usb cable 5V Powerbank The assembly is pretty much self explanitary from the photos I modified the Code from the demo camera code and added in the LED function When is running the only wires connected are 5V,Gnd and IO 13 for the neopixels. Added a couple of extra prints Lens shield: which help to centralise lens and fix it rigid Cover: To hold the pcb in place and provision for a switch Base: Slimmer design with a 16mm lens recess
