A Wireless Target Camera System based off the ESP32-CAM. A combination of programming languages is used, Arduino IDE for the ESP32-CAM, Windows UWP (Visual Basic) for the client application which also uses an MJPEG library for reading the camera stream. The UWP client application displays the stream and overlays ballistic information.
- Battery Management - Read ADC (PIN 12) - Prior to WiFi initialization which ties up the ADC inputs on the board.
- Battery Management - Requires a voltage divider, please see the Altium Circuitmaker Schematic and PCB layout.
- OTA / Over The Air Updates - Partition Scheme: "Minimal SPIFFS (1.9MB APP with OTA/190KB SPIFFS).
- SPIFFS partition is small, is primarily used to store config data and a small image file/logo file and favicon.
- Main Section - Houses the ESP32-CAM and ESP32-CAM motherboard, light pipes and power switch.
- Battery Section - Houses the battery board and AA battery holder.
- Holder - Anetnna - Part is used for installing the antenna assembly.
- Holder - Nut - Part used for locating/holding the UNC nut for tripods.
- Locating Block - Screwed into the battery board, holds the ESM32-CAM motherboard in place.
Note: Recommend ABS or PETG for 3D Printing due to outdoor use.
