From the project
Time Leap Cam - Super Long Term Time-Lapse Camera and Monitoring by OpenAI
Update v0.3.3 - Improved the eMMC writing speed. The eMMC writing speed is improved by background writing. In the HD resolution, the writing speed is improved 28fps to 30fps. In the Full HD resolution, the writing speed is improved 6fps to 8fps. - JPEG quality can be set from 4 to 40. The default is 12. This value is high quality to set the value to 4. In the HD resolution, JPEG quality is set to less than 12, the writing speed is slower than 30fps. If you want to capture the image at 30fps, set the JPEG quality to 12 or more. - If you want to direct write the image to the eMMC, set the…

Timeleapcam: common questions
What microcontroller does the Timeleapcam use?
The Timeleapcam is built around the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N16R8, from the ESP32 family.
How big is the Timeleapcam PCB?
The Timeleapcam measures 40 × 50 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Timeleapcam?
90 components, from 41 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Timeleapcam design files?
From the hnz1102/timeleapcam repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Timeleapcam design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with hnz1102. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Timeleapcam without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug ESP32 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
