Revainrating 5 out of 5

AS DESCRIBED BUT to be clear, THIS WILL NOT WORK WITH OTHER PIs than the PERIOD Calculator.

looks well built and in good condition but after digging around I've learned that you need to be sure you are using a real PI module with the imx219 as it contains a cryptographic chip. The Pi Foundation has locked the drivers in such a way that they only boot the camera if the chip is found in all modules except the compute units. This camera doesn't have a chip so it won't be recognized and won't even work on the Pi. I learned it the hard way.

Pros
  • Single Board Computer
Cons
  • High Price
