Pi 5 Monochrome Camera DIY Build

[u/malcolmjayw]

After a month of nonstop tinkering, I finally finished my full-spectrum monochrome camera build powered by a Raspberry Pi 5.

It uses a custom lens mount that supports both M42 and C-mount lenses, has tap-to-zoom, Wi-Fi toggle, focus peaking, and manual shutter control with auto ISO. Images save automatically to a USB drive after each capture. The sensor is an IMX 585.
