snap snap, here's a camera module picowbell
we've been doing a ton of projects with OV5640-and-friends camera modules. these devices have 8-pin data ports plus pixel clock, hsync and vsync. the data can be raw 565 color, or JPEG data at 1080p! either way, you need a device with lots of RAM and the ability to quickly grab the buffer off the module. the RP2040 will do a fine job, but if you want to work with these modules they require a LOT of wiring.

to make it easier, here's a design for a 'cowbell that will work with the Pico or PicoW to add a camera module, Stemma QT I2C port, MicroSD slot for storing images, and a right angle 'shutter' button. there's not enough room for a display on this slim board but we left pins 20 and 21 available for a TFT CS and DC pin for expansion capabilities.
