First Look at CinePI, an Open-Source Raspberry Pi Cinema Camera

CinePi Open-Source Raspberry Pi Cinema Camera
Here’s a first look at CinePI, an open-source Raspberry Pi cinema camera that could potentially be used to make award winning films. It consists of a 3D-printed enclosure, a Raspberry Pi 4 board with a 12.3MP Sony IMX477 HQ camera module, a 4.0-inch touchscreen display, a Zero2Go power supply (4 x 18650 cells), and a Notcua fan.



Putting CinePI V2 together is mostly straightforward using common tools such as a screwdriver, side cutters, wire strippers, etc., but access to a soldering iron will be required to perform hardware modifications to some of the off the shelf components. However, depending on the parts you choose in your build, soldering may be avoided altogether. Get the instructions here.

Future designs will explore the use of more highly refined processes, such as consolidating many of the external components onto a single custom designed PCB in the familiar Raspberry Pi HAT form factor,” said the team.

Putting a Raspberry Pi CM4 Into Your PSP Transforms it Into a Retrogaming Powerhouse

Putting a Raspberry Pi CM4 Into Your PSP Transforms it Into a Retrogaming Powerhouse

Raspberry Pi CM4 PSP Mod PSPi 6
Putting a Raspberry Pi CM4 into your PSP transforms it into a retrogaming powerhouse by making use of the PSPi 6 project from othermod. Most importantly, there is no PSP case modification required, as the new board perfectly shape matches the PSP’s original one very closely.

Put simply, the PSPi is essentially an interface board that replaces the motherboard in the original 1000-series Sony PSP handheld game console. This board allows you to use a Raspberry Pi as the processor, which means you can either use it as an emulation system, or just run your favorite Linux distribution. Check out PSPi here.

  • Model Number CFI-1215A01X.
  • Stunning Games – Marvel at incredible graphics and experience new PS5 features.
  • Breathtaking Immersion – Discover a deeper gaming experience with support for haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and 3D Audio technology.

The board has a 40-pin Raspberry Pi connector, and you can simply plug a Raspberry Pi Zero / Zero 2 into it. A normal Pi 3 or Pi 4 can also, be used, but you’ll probably need to use an extension cable or header. With an add-in board, this is also compatible with every CM4 variant. Some have eMMC Flash while others use MicroSD cards,” said othermod.
