Camera Tab¶
Not implemented — placeholder
The Camera tab is a placeholder. There is no camera software in the project: no camera component in the dashboard, no video pipeline in the bridge, and no firmware handling. Selecting the tab shows a generic placeholder view.
What hardware exists¶
The mainboard does provide a camera-oriented hardware path, but nothing drives it in software:
- An FPV camera UART port is wired to the Teensy's Serial8 (pins 34/35) — see the Mainboard Pin Map. The board comment describes it as "UART control for FPV camera."
What would be needed to make it real¶
This is entirely unbuilt, so the following are open design questions rather than documentation of anything that exists:
Open items for a real camera feature — please specify
- The camera hardware itself (an analog FPV camera + receiver? a USB/CSI camera on the Pi? an IP camera?) — the mainboard's UART port suggests an FPV unit with UART control, but the actual camera is not specified in the repo.
- The video transport to the dashboard (the dashboard is a web app, so it would need an MJPEG/WebRTC/HLS stream from somewhere on the Pi).
- Whether the Teensy's Serial8 port is used for camera control (OSD, channel) versus the video path.
See Hardware & Open Items. Let the maintainer know the intended camera setup and this page can be replaced with a real feature description.
