Purpose

An issue was opened to enhance the overhead camera mount to support more camera types.

This change solves this by updating the camera mount with two variations: one for regular webcams and another designed to fit the common 32x32mm camera modules.

README.md changes


(new) module mount


webcam mount

The Changes:

  • Split the camera mount into 2 separate projects, one for webcam and one for 32x32 modules
  • Added links to both projects from the main README
  • Expanded the Optional Hardware section in the main README to display all items by default instead of hiding them, improving discoverability without adding clutter

Test Plan:

  • Thoroughly tested the new 32x32mm camera mount in real-life conditions, building approximately 5 iterations to achieve the optimal field of view that works for both bi-manual and uni-manual setups
  • Previous webcam mount has been tested throughly
  • Reviewed and verified all links in both projects
  • Confirmed all links in the main README are working properly

Thanks @pkooij for considering!
