New to this forum and a beginner to Raspberry Pi! I would like to start my very first project by replicating the Ruha camera (https://ruha.camera/) using a Raspberry Pi Zero 2WH.
Since the Waveshare display plugs directly into the GPIO headers of the Pi Zero, how can I incorporate the shutter button and the MT3608 into the Pi? Is there an attachment I can use to achieve this?
The Waveshare display doesn’t actually use all of the pins on the 40-pin header despite plugging straight in. Here’s a list of the pinout for the display:
(Hint: This chart can also be found on the Waveshare’s Wiki for the product here)
Looks like Pin 35 (GPIO 19) and Pin 37 (GPIO 26) are both unused, as well as Pin 17 and Pin 1, which are both 3.3V Power.
The Pi Hut make this Dual-Access GPIO Extension Board that should allow you to access the pins, though it might be a bit hard to fit in if the camera case is small.
