ℹ️ The main FLO repository is at https://github.com/strawlab/flo ℹ️.

This repository hosts build instructions and manual for the FLO Bring Your Own (BYO) camera insect tracking/filming. Included are hardware design files and other large, binary files.

FLO is a method for videography using a camera system that automatically moves to follow the subject.

FLO is described in the following publication:

Dual cam: common questions

What microcontroller does the Dual cam use?

The Dual cam is built around the Pico, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the Dual cam PCB?

The Dual cam measures 76 × 51 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Dual cam?

46 components, from 28 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 Dual cam design files?

From the strawlab/flo-hardware 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 Dual cam design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with strawlab. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Dual cam without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug RP2040/RP2350 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
