About the Camera clicker PCB

Camera clicker is an open source ESP32 PCB design by tenderlove, published on GitHub under the Apache-2.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 28 × 95 mm, with 26 components from 20 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the ESP32-MINI-1, from the ESP32 family. Other key parts include the BQ25170. By type, the board carries 10 resistors, 4 switches, 4 capacitors, 2 ICs, 2 connectors and 2 diodes.

It belongs with the iot & wireless and power & battery designs in this gallery.

WiFi client and remote shutter for Olympus OM-D cameras

This project is a dedicated WiFi client and remote shutter for Olympus OM-D cameras. It simply connects to the camera, and then you can use the button to fire the camera shutter. I've only tested this with my OM-D E-M5 Mark III camera, but I believe it will work with any OM-D camera that uses WiFi for its remote shutter application.

In this repository, you'll find schematics and PCB designs, stl files, and the firmware you need.

Camera clicker: common questions

What microcontroller does the Camera clicker use?

The Camera clicker is built around the ESP32-MINI-1, from the ESP32 family.

How big is the Camera clicker PCB?

The Camera clicker measures 28 × 95 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Camera clicker?

26 components, from 20 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Camera clicker design files?

From the tenderlove/camera-clicker repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Camera clicker design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its Apache-2.0 license, which tenderlove chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Camera clicker 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.
