E3D ToolChanger - Raspberry Pi Zero Camera Add-On

Designed to replace the <a href="https://github.com/e3donline/ToolChanger" style="text-decoration:none;">Standard ToolChanger Cover</a>, this cover takes a Raspberry Pi Zero and Mini Camera and mounts it to the ToolHead. For extra features install <a href="https://octoprint.org/" style="text-decoration:none">OctoPrint</a> on the Zero!

I bought some lenses to try to see if it was possible to get a macro lens to work, which it does, but the FOV is ~5mm x ~5mm and the lens needs to be ~5mm from the subject.Not very practical. The camera as is seemed to give the best results for now.

Connect to the Duet via I2C, UART, <a href="https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=187766" style="text-decoration:none">USB</a> or GPIO.
