I killed my camera

Good thing it was only a 7 Euro key-fob camera in 808 style, but I killed my time-lapse project with that. I wanted to wear this on the hackaday event taking pictures constantly with a harvested lipo from a macbook. I even shrunk it down from an arduino board plus perfboard and wire porn to a self-designed attiny85 board. While debugging one I must have killed the camera, because it won't take pictures or videos anymore - so I ordered a new one on ebay for 4 Euros. Btw., the boards were so tiny, that I didn't even get a sticker with them (I already have enough of them, nevermind). It is a bit messy to work with in eagle, but I like putting pads on the edge to solder the ISP connector sideways.

To sad. Nice Video. Is the circuit board "just" used to trigger the camera?
BTW: a great way to place a ISP Connector :)
Cute Tiny circuit board ;)

  Are you sure? yes | no

Indeed :( When you watch it with 0.25 speed it looks much better. It is able to turn the camera on and off and take a picture. I always try to make the boards as crowded and small they can be and routing was a pain :D

At my project i often get a predefined Size and try to fit all on the available area ;-)
