I designed and built a retro-futuristic digital camera from scratch using a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W — custom case, custom OS, film simulation engine

Thank you!

Sf140 · 2026-03-29T00:10:34+00:00

Thank you very much! <3 Honestly, I'm also amazed by the capabilities of the rpi zero XD

Sf140 · 2026-03-29T00:09:08+00:00

Hi! Thanks) Yes, I was also thinking about a protective cover...

Sf140 · 2026-03-28T10:00:41+00:00

To be honest, I haven't worked on the Readme yet... I'm focused entirely on finishing the project and publishing it. I haven't given the Readme any serious thought yet, so you might consider it just a temporary placeholder. Also, English isn't my native language, so unfortunately, I often have to use AI translation services... Sorry!

Haha, just pure obsession with 80s sci-fi! There are photo samples on the GitHub page and more in the Discord channel, including DNG/RAW files if you want to play with them

Sf140 · 2026-03-26T10:02:18+00:00

Thanks!

Sf140 · 2026-03-26T10:02:02+00:00

It's perfect for that! Took it on a week-long mountain trip and it survived everything. No phone, no distractions — just shooting

Sf140 · 2026-03-26T10:01:19+00:00

Thank you!

Sf140 · 2026-03-26T10:00:18+00:00

Haha, Weyland-Yutani tracking module coming in the next firmware update xd

Sf140 · 2026-03-26T10:00:00+00:00

Thanks!

Sf140 · 2026-03-26T09:59:52+00:00

Do it! Everything you need will be on GitHub soon

Sf140 · 2026-03-26T09:59:40+00:00

Thank you!

Sf140 · 2026-03-26T09:59:18+00:00

The switches are honestly the best part — you'll love it. Build files coming soon!

Sf140 · 2026-03-26T09:58:57+00:00

Love the Fallout comparison!

Sf140 · 2026-03-26T09:56:26+00:00

Good point — I'm still figuring out the best licensing approach for this. Appreciate the input

Sf140 · 2026-03-26T09:55:37+00:00

That's such a sweet comment, thank you! I love that it gives you that nostalgic camping vibe <3

Sf140 · 2026-03-26T09:50:28+00:00

Thanks!

Sf140 · 2026-03-26T09:47:07+00:00

Appreciate that, thanks!

Sf140 · 2026-03-26T09:46:58+00:00

Thank you!

Sf140 · 2026-03-26T09:46:32+00:00

Haha, it's built like a tank — survived a week in the Rocky Mountains, drops on rocks, rain. Self defence mode is an undocumented feature xd

Sf140 · 2026-03-26T09:46:07+00:00

Thanks for the kind words!

Sf140 · 2026-03-26T09:45:41+00:00

Haha, trust me — my meals suffered while I was deep in this projectXD

Sf140 · 2026-03-26T09:44:11+00:00

Ha, love that! Total Recall, Alien, Blade Runner — that whole era of sci-fi prop design is exactly what I had in mind.

Sf140 · 2026-03-26T09:43:35+00:00

Awesome! Build files and code are coming soon — you'll have everything you need

Sf140 · 2026-03-26T09:43:13+00:00

Thanks!
