# Work in progress, not ready for use

## Project goal

Build a USB webcam using a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 board with any of the supported camera modules, and utilize the sensor to its fullest potential.

Specifically:
- Support and advertize on UVC all native sensor resolutions and framerates.
- Be as low latency as possible

## Current status
- Pi Zero 2 W, HQ camera sensor, 1332x976@120fps MJPEG mode is hardcoded. Works.
- Global shutter camera 1456x1088@60fps mode works at ~45-55fps.

## Not implemented yet
- Any controls
- White balance, etc
- Framerate control
- Mode enumeration and selection
- ...

## Known issues
- Pi board completely freezes after ~38 minutes on kernel 6.1. In 1 in 10 cases a kernel panic can be seen on UART suggesting memory corruption.
- Pi freezes after ~70 minites on kernel 6.6.
