hacked together a digital camera with a removable Polaroid-inspired display:
I built a camera that snaps a GIF and ejects a little cartridge so you
can hold a moving photo in your hand! I’m calling it the “Instagif
NextStep”. Don’t ask me why I built it, it sounded like a fun challenge
and I always wanted to hold a moving photo. If it wasn’t obvious, I was
inspired by the Polaroid OneStep.
What I love about these kinds of projects is that they involve a bunch
of different skill sets and disciplines – hardware, software, 3D
modeling, 3D printing, circuit design, mechanical/electrical
engineering, design, fabrication etc that need to be integrated for it
to work seamlessly. Ironically this is also what I hate about these
kinds of projects 😛
I have detailed all the steps here and have released all the code, eagle
files and design files so you can create your own.
