Craft Camera: An Open-source Camera with a DIY Paper Shell

Craft Camera is an open-source digital camera made using Arduino Uno combined with several development modules.

For the casing, Coralie Gourguechon, the designer of this camera, did not choose the popular 3D printing technology but opted for a simpler and more traditional material - cardboard. Through this approach, it significantly lowers the production threshold for everyone, allowing anyone interested to try building one themselves.

The Craft Camera mainly relies on Arduino UNO, along with an SD card storage module and a lithium battery module with intelligent voltage monitoring functionality. Through a compact structure, it forms a stable and efficient data storage device.

The lens of the Craft Camera uses an open-source lens module from Sparkfun, supporting three resolutions: VGA, QVGA, and 160×120 (i.e., 640×480/320×240/160×120).
