Raspberry Pi Zero gets camera support
Raspberry Pi Founder Eben Upton has added the most frequently-demanded missing feature to the Raspberry Pi Zero: a camera connector.
Upton said they have taken advantage of a production hiatus to add a camera connector to the device.
“Through dumb luck, the same fine-pitch FPC connector that we use on the Compute Module Development Kit just fits onto the right side of the board,” said Upton.
“To connect the camera to the Zero, we offer a custom 6-inch adapter cable. This converts from the fine-pitch connector format to the coarser pitch used by the camera board.”
The Raspberry Pi Zero with the new camera connector will retain its $5 price.
