Avoid and move on to Raspberry Pi HQ Camera

Broken junk that doesn't work. I had to spend my money on a Raspberry Pi HQ camera. Whatever additional features Arducam has to offer, it's not worth the hassle. So following all the lettwr instructions I hooked it up to my Raspberry Pi and a few times when the camera showed anything at all in the preview software the image was horribly underexposed.
