Heavily inspired by the Pixless Camera, the Pixel Art Camera is a portable ‘toy’ camera that takes lo-resolution photos and posterizes the pixel colors to a small limited color palette, typically used for pixel art. This creates photos that resemble retro pixel art.
The camera is built with a Waveshare ESP32-S3-Touch-LCD-2 development board, an OV5640 camera module and a 400 mAh li-po battery with a 3d printed enclosure.
Source code, bill of materials and the STL file for the 3d printed enclosure available here: https://github.com/parallelsuns/PixelArtCamera
