Issue #150 - Camera
Hello and welcome to Issue #150!
This newsletter comes to you from Mountain View, California where I’m at Picademy USA with James, Matt and Courtney. We just opened applications for the next training which takes place in Baltimore in August.
In case you missed it, we released a new camera module this week – the V2 is a drop-in replacement for the original one, and packs a new Sony sensor. It’s 8-megapixels in resolution and comes with some impressive performance enhancements. Of course there are visible light and infra-red alternatives available.
See you next week!
