Love this new product. Thinking of some ideas. Had some questions first.

Is there any possible way to connect a camera to this? Even just the cheapest one. Maybe ribbon cable style. Maybe just put it directly into the display? Would be super cool!
Thank you,
You’d need to connect your camera to a micro controller and then convert the image to the same resolution as the display. Then you would need to convert the camera image to something the display could understand and then send that data to the display.
It’s not impossible but keep in mind this is a fairly low resolution monochrome display so it’s probably not going to look fantastic.
Awesome!
I am thinking Arduino Nano Every + This “ArduCam”. https://www.robotshop.com/en/arducam-mi … duino.html
What kind of libraries do I need to convert between the two?
Or, do you have a different camera in mind?
Resolution is fine for now.
You’d need whatever libraries the hardware you end up using require. For the display, we have libraries in the hookup guide. I don’t happen to have a suggestion on a camera but whatever the manufacturer of the camera provides will probably work for you.
Great Thank you for the vote of confidence! I just wasn’t sure if there was some clear reason or bottleneck this couldn’t be done.
