Most adventurers who are thinking about recording an action event would opt to explore the GoPro camera system. While being a very capable recording device that is housed inside a diminutive package, the GoPro cameras have an exorbitant price tag that stops weekend warriors dead in their tracks. What if an action camera costs less than $50 USD? What if you could build this camera yourself? What if this camera had a fully-functional Linux computer inside? Although it might sound like pie-in-the-sky dreaming, these are the hallmarks for my piOneer slo-mo action camera project. Borrowing a page from the AstroPi design book, piOneer consists of a 3D-printed case that holds a Raspberry Pi, camera module, user interface, LiPo battery, and large microSD card. Throw in some LEDs, wire, and fasteners and you have a weekend construction project that you can take with you anywhere and record everything that happens to you at 90fps. You can get the code for this project from this GitHub site: how2-oh.github.io/piOneer And this project was featured in Issue #50 of The MagPi magazine:https://raspberrypi.org/magpi-issues/MagPi50.pdf [This is a FREE PDF download.] Print Settings Printer Brand: LulzBot Printer: Mini Rafts: No Supports: Yes Notes: You will need support structure for printing the "enclosure-top" file.
