Hello I’m new here!
First of all, thanks for all the nice stuff, @cyberboy666, I really appreciate having more DIY video toys to choose from.
I’m planning to build a pretty insane wearable a/v setup and I’d like to use a custom pcb’d (or probably just hand-wired protoboard) recurboy as the basis for the video part. As I want everything to be on my body, I’d rather avoid having USB cables dangling around that need to be un- and replugged. I guess I could do it with a 3-way switch, but I’d much prefer to be able to use the webcam, Keyboard and/or MIDI at the same time.
So I was wondering: Is this is a hardware limitation of the Pi0 or could the code be modified to accept a hub on the OTG port? If not, I guess I could live with having to switch between webcam and keyboard, but would it be possible to make it accept MIDI over serial instead of USB?
Also, I wonder if there’s any way a recording function for a live feed could be added. I guess it’s been left out for being too much for the first Pi0…? But would a Zero W 2 bring enough processing power for this?
Ah, and I have to admit that I haven’t really looked at the code so far, because I’m definitely more of a hardware guy and whenever I start looking at code, my vision blurs a little and my brain wants to do something else NOW. But if any of my proposed mods are possible, can you please give me an idea how hard they would be to implement?
Thanks for any ideas on this.
