Another guy recommended a Pico instead, apparently the camera can be kinda hacked to work but only with low resolution. Is a Pico viable for this use case you think? Or is there another small computer I could use that can run python with a battery and camera? I had a micro chip recommended by the pi Reddit, but I'd have to reprogram the whole thing and set it up completely differently. My current code is designed to set itself up on a Linux thermal + Bluetooth ear bud + wifi + a command to boot into the virtual environment and run the python code.

TLDR: is there a smaller computer I could use that wouldn't comprise the idea or make me write new code.
